Welcome to the Management area of the MSDN Online Web Workshop. Here, you'll find articles on planning, localizing, and maintaining a Web site.
As you begin develop your Web site, you can read helpful resources in the Planning section. The FAQ provides information on Web basics and technical issues.
One critical key to building a Web site is thinking the project through -- not just how it will look, but what it will do for you and for your users. In the Planning area, you can also read several articles that offer a variety of perspectives. For example, Robert Hess offers his thoughts in "Take a Deep Breath, and Start Simply" and "What's Your Web Approach?"
The Tools area contains a "Guide to Microsoft Internet Publishing Tools," plus information on Microsoft Visual InterDev, the Profile Assistant, and links to resources and other tools.
You can enhance your site by making it sleeker and more user friendly. For an in-depth discussion of how, see "Improving Site Usability and Appeal."
