    SitePoint

    The ins and outs of Web site creation and launch.
    9/6/2005

    Many of us work on the Web or use it for marketing or other functions—but that doesn't mean we know XML from a hole in the ground. This site appears targeted at both technical and non-technical audiences who know their way around a Web site yet need to drill down a bit to learn how sites are created, managed, and marketed.

    A recent feature article on the site offered an excellent primer on the aforementioned XML, or Extensible Markup Language, which takes data and content presentation on the Web to a highly sophisticated level.

    The site categorizes articles under the broad headings Before You Code, Design and Layout, Client Side Coding, Server Side Coding, Site Strategy, Site Marketing, and Sell Your Services. You'll find expert-written articles on such varied issues as open-source licensing, hiring a Web developer, the use of color in design, managing guideline violations on your community page, and conducting client background checks.

    The site's popular community forums are full of postings from readers on problems encountered and solved, discussions of new technologies, and general discourse on the state of the Web. (“Google is the new Microsoft,” opined one poster recently on news of Google releasing its own instant messaging product.)

    In addition to this site, SitePoint creates a number of publications for Web designers and developers including books and newsletters.
