This process involves taking into account the web's purpose, audience, objective, and domain information. A good designer knows how to achieve the effects called for by the specification in the most flexible, efficient, and elegant way. Because it relies so heavily on the other processes and elements in web development, however, the design process is no more important than any of the others, but it requires a thorough grounding in implementation possibilities as well as knowledge about how particular web structures affect an audience. The implementation process is perhaps most like software development because it involves using a specific syntax for encoding web structures in a formal language in computer files. Although there are automated tools to help with the construction of HTML documents, a thorough grounding in HTML as well as an awareness of how designs can best be implemented in HTML enriches the web implementor's expertise.
Promotion is the process of handling all the public relations issues of a web.
These include making the existence of a web known to online communities through publicity, as well as forming business or other information relationships with other webs. Promotion may involve using specific marketing strategies or creating business models. Innovation is the process of making sure that the other development processes continue and improve. This includes monitoring technologies for new innovations that might be appropriate for the web as well as finding creative or unique ways to improve the elements of the web or engage the web's audience in its success. Innovation also involves seeking to continuously improve the usability and quality of the web and exceed user expectations.
