Commonly, it’s the SQL commands for transferring the local site to the remote host.

This is a convenient little resource featuring the abovementioned tip and plenty of others.

The designs were for an estate agency website specialising in holiday homes.

With the Photoshop designs in hand, I set about cutting and marking them up with XHTML and CSS. With the basic interface complete, work was started on the server side. This involved coding a number of scripts in PHP to search for and display properties, all accessed through a MySQL database.

Once a property’s selected from the results list, the user’s taken to an individual proprty page, as above. In order to upload properties to the website, an admin section was built behind a password protected log in.

The code and database design for this project are bespoke, as a content management system for the entire site wasn’t needed. Had it been, and had a property blog been stressed, the project would have been WordPress based. To sum up, I coded the entire site, but did not carry out the design work.
