Step 9 – Install any Additional Scripts on the Server

There are many prebuilt website functionality available which can enhance your website. You will most likely need to install some scripts on the server, the most common being a form script. Scripts are also available for functionality like guestbook, blogs, forums chat, poll, etc.

This is a good time to install any required scripts as you will need to link them from your web pages. Customize the interface of the scripts as much as possible to blend well with the look and feel of the rest of the website. In the case of a form you will probably need to create a form html page with the required fields and integrate it with the form script. Test it thoroughly to ensure it works fine and that you are getting the emails sent from the site.

In case you are not comfortable installing scripts there are free service providers that offer all these and more hosted on their server, but which you can easily customize and include into your website by adding the some code that they provide into your website's html pages. Some essential functionality you will need include forms and site search.

In some cases your entire site can be built on an installed script like Joomla CMS or WordPress blog. Drupal and Mambo are are other content management systems. All these can be easily installed via Fantastico which comes with some hosting servers e.g. Tikier Fantastico also allows you to easily install certain forum, photo gallery, shopping cart, CMS, LMS and customer relationship management software etc. If you have a WordPress blog site you might want to install plugins to enhance your blog.
