Tools in Web Design & WebSite

1.  Designing a web business can be a tedious process that can take wrong turns & deliver wrong results if tools are not carefully chosen.
2.  Tools are designed to use in certain ways and deliver certain results.
3.  Example of these tools are CMS (Joomla, Drupal, blogger), apps (Facebook Comments, Like button, + buttons, email, counters, graphics, scripts).
4.  A good idea is to consider the result or objective of the web site or business page, if a particular page is to be added tools only.
5.  Then the likely result of the tools when deployed. 
6.  Then the manageability of the tools.  Updates, content generated, disaster recovery, implication of users generated content, control over long term period etc.
7.  How the tools would evolve or the website would evolve should also be considered.  In future, the tools may no longer be suitable or the website may evolve into something that the tools cannot accommodate.
8.   It is best to start with the fewest tools collection possible and focus on the most impact that can be delivered.
