We have just released a new site for Gisborne Golf Club, a great golf course about 45 minutes drive north of Melbourne. The site uses Wordpress as a content management system for easy updating and features the high standards of coding and attention to detail that you would expect from a Kilbot Factory website.

Web Development encompasses all the tasks required to bring a web site to the internet, whereas Web Design refers only to graphic design. A typical web development process at The Kilbot Factory would involve site planning, wireframe creation, web design, coding, search engine optimisation, and after release; site maintenance and advertising. The Web Design component would be handled by a web designer, usually someone contracted especially for the job based on the design goals of the client.
The role of the web developer will vary from agency to agency and from project to project. Most commonly, the web developer refers to the person responsible for the code component of the development process. In a small web development agency, a web developer may be responsible for all aspects of development, including design. Indeed, a good developer should have experience in all aspects of the development process so that good practices are built into the web site as a matter of course.
As the internet industry matures there is a need for more specialised roles in web development. Large agencies will usually include a project manager who takes care of the site planning, wireframing and manages the web developers and web designers. Specialist SEO firms are springing up all over the internet (although most of them are charlatans in this humble web developers opinion :p ). Web developers themselves will usually pick one or two languages to specialise in.

The Kilbot Factory has released a brand new site for Brooks Hire Service. The site uses a Content Management System for easy site updates and expansion, standards compliant XHTML and CSS, and quite a few keyword tweaks to get the best search ranking possible.
Top 500 sites in Australia as reported by Alexa, take it with a grain of salt but it is handy for SEO to get an indication of which search engines Australians are using.
Google fills first and second places, which fits with data collected on my sites. Yahoo are next and then MSN.
Interesting to note Yahoo tops the rankings in the United States. I would suspect the figures are a little skewed to the type of web user would would install the Alexa tool bar.
