  11. A variety of tools exist for creating a website

  12. Summary/Conclusion • A prototype is one step up from a mockup. It is a working version of the website though incomplete. • Businesses must decide whether to build or buy off the shelf solutions to their business problems. In general, it is best to buy and customize a solution for reasons of cost and ease of maintenance. • If you do decide to build then you will need an authoring tool to simplify the process of website construction. Authoring tools may live on your computer or you can use a cloud based authoring tool such as Google Sites. • Google Sites tries to simplify the development process by providing pre-built templates for different businesses and themes to control the overall look and feel.

  13. Summary/Conclusion • The ability to capture and store customer data using a Google Docs form and Spreadsheet is the first step toward database integration. Full database integration allows you to customize pages for individual customers. • In general corporations tend to be very conservative with respect to software choices. Any change represents potential problems, increased costs, and business disruptions.
