As you develop strategy, develop realistic plans for the site's look and feel and functinality. This is often called the Web "front end," or scale and technical reach of your site. There is an enormous range of possibilities for web development, from the $10/month hobbyist site developed in simple HTML language by an amateur, to the major business sites costing tens of thousands of dollars in Internet infrastructure and millions of dollars in development.

The vast majority of business and organizational websites are hosted by Internet hosting services, vendors who offer their clients rented space on their computers serving up Internet sites. There is a huge range of service options: some are free, most cost $20-$100 per month, and others can cost thousands of dollars monthly. Some businesses even host their websites by themselves, plugging their own servers directly into the Internet.

Here, too, you are looking at an enormous range of options, from the simple one-page turnkey site for a few hundred dollars, done by a website vendor, to the multi-million-dollar website. The important critical point for the website plan is to have your resource requirements match your objectives and needs.

Your plan should include a view of how the Web will grow and develop, what improvements might come in the future, and how objectives and resource requirements might change.

Website development is changing all the time, the field develops very fast, and information becomes obsolete even faster. We try to keep these links up to date, but it's hard.
