Is your website project out of control? Every website project needs a manager. Developing Effective Websites describes Internet technologies in plain language and helps you see beyond your expertise to the big picture. It does this by drawing on established software project and management principles. Like any project effective management of website development starts by understanding and balancing the constraints of time resources and tasks. You can deliver your project on time and on budget by following a process that includes:  Analyzing the requirements of users and your market  Developing a workplan for the site and breaking it down to tasks  Scheduling with Gantt and PERT charts and measuring slippage for more accurate revisions  Estimating cost by the budget-first or design-first methods  Using the team development process and covering all the necessary roles  Aligning contractor and client interests to create a win-win relationship  Following an iterative development process for designing prototyping and building out  Applying software testing principles to website development  Making hosting decisions and planning for maintenance .
