There are many tools in the market that can be used to create a web site. We prefer to use Frontpage and Visual Interdev and plain notepad.

Our graphic designers use Adobe's Photoshop, Illustrator, Net Studio, Microsoft Gif Animator, JASC Paint Shop Pro and 3D Studio max and Flash among the many graphic software at our disposal.

There are numerous things to keep in mind when designing a good website. For instance, after your site is on the web, you do realize that it is viewed by people using different browsers types (MSIE or Netscape), different browser versions (MSIE 3 or MSIE 5), different screen or monitor sizes and different types of computers (e.g. Macintosh or IBM compatible). If considerations to these aspects are not made while designing, the site will look different in each case.

JavaScript is a platform-independent, event-driven, interpreted programming language developed by Netscape Communications Corp. and Sun Microsystems. Originally called LiveScript (and still called LiveWireTM by Netscape in its compiled, server-side incarnation), JavaScript is affiliated with Sun's object-oriented programming language JavaTM primarily as a marketing convenience. They inter-operate well but are technically, functionally and behaviorally very different.

JavaScript is useful for adding interactivity to the World Wide Web because scripts can be embedded in HTML files (i.e., web pages) simply by enclosing code in a <SCRIPT> </SCRIPT> tag pair. All modern browsers can interpret JavaScript.

CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets and is a simple styling language which allows attaching style to HTML elements. Every element type as well as every occurence of a specific element within that type can be declared an unique style, e.g. margins, positioning, color or size.

Caches come in many types, but they all work the same way: they store information where you can get to it fast. A Web browser cache stores the pages, graphics, sounds, and URLs of online places you visit on your hard drive; that way, when you go back to the page, everything doesn't have to be downloaded all over again. Since disk access is much faster than Internet access, this speeds things up. Of course, disk access is slower than RAM access, so there's also disk caching, which stores information you might need from your hard disk in faster RAM.
