It is fairly simple to have the “Like” button added to your site. First you need to copy your URL and then go to the Facebook Developer’s page: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like-box/. There you will put your URL in the box that says “http://www.facebook.com/platform”. You then have a few decisions about the width of the button, light or dark on the color scheme, the color of the border, if you want to show photos, if you want to display the profile page, and if you want the “Find Us on Facebook” bar included.

Next you click on the button “Get Code” and then copy the code. The final step will depend on your skill level. If you have someone who designed your website and makes changes for you, then you would send the code to him and tell him where you want it to go. If you do your own changes, then paste the code in the proper place of your website’s code.

So, whether you are going for a more creative look, or a more technical design theme, depending on the kind of site to be developed, choosing the right complex background themes, or something more fun and creative, is really going to make for a great site. So, knowing your audience, knowing who will be visiting the site, and knowing what they want to see when they visit a site, are all important things to consider when developing a site, and making it a site that reaches the right target audience for the site, and the content on the site.

Let us examine the four most common answers to the question.

Python -

Python is often suggested because of its “beauty” (programmers just love python), maintainability, and the ease of writing. Combined with one of several web frameworks like Django, it is a potent tool for building websites.

The .NET Languages –

The .NET Languages, most commonly C and VB.NET, are extremely powerful when combined with ASP.NET. Add Visual Studio into the mix and you have a website-building monster. Oh, and the .NET languages are backed by Microsoft, making them very attractive to companies worried about support.

PHP –

PHP powers a disproportionately large amount of the internet, and that is not surprising. The language, in combination with the other open-source members of the LAMP stack, is possibly the cheapest solution to building a website. PHP was also created expressly for web design, and while it has its limitations for other types of programming, it is simple and powerful to build websites with.

Ruby -

Ruby has enjoyed a big boost since the release of Rails, a Ruby framework to speed up the production of websites. Combined together, Ruby with Rails is a quick and fully functional solution to building top quality websites, and is just as qualified for a spot on this list as any of the other languages.

The Best? -

So which of these languages is best? Every one of them will build websites just as well as the others, so the only correct answer is – whichever language you feel most comfortable with is the best language you could build a website in. If you aren’t comfortable in any of them, and you are trying to discover which language you should learn, try simple tutorials in each of the languages and stick with the language that feels most natural to you.

Maintenance is also an essential website process. Once a site is built, the project’s necessities do not diminish; they simply change. Top priority is to monitor comments on your site to prevent spamming problems. Additionally, you must stay active in the updating of content on your site as this is what will draw the attention of search engine web crawlers. Being included on a search engine’s index will increase traffic to your site, but this will only happen if the crawler notices continual updates and active internal and external linking. Websites that are constantly maintained present a professional impression and gain greater attention from internet viewers.
