What is asp, asp.net?
ASP, or Active Server Pages, Microsoft’s technology to enable HTML pages to be dynamic and interactive by embedding scripts, i.e. either VBScript or Jscript, Microsoft’s alternative of JavaScript. Since the scripts in ASP pages (suffix .asp) are processed by the server, any browser can work with ASP pages regardless of its support for the scripting language used therein. We use this service because we adopt Microsoft’s Access and SQL server Database and ASP can help use enhance HTML features in making the Web more flexible and performable.

Is there anything else that should be included on a web site?
The following elements should be included:
- Australian companynumber (where applicable) - section 153 of the Corporations Law requirescompanies to set out its ACNon all public documents;
- Privacy Policy – inorder to comply with privacy obligations, sites that collect and usepersonal information about users (especially credit card information)should include a statement as to the purposes for which that informationwill be used. As with the Conditions of Use, the Privacy Policy should bedisplayed prominently on the web site.
How could the price of website development vary so much?
A lot of it has to do with the purpose of the site. For example, the owner of a Bed-and-Breakfast who supplies photographs and copy concerning their business for the purpose of providing basic information for tourists with the ability for a Web visitor to send them e-mail can have an effective website for a few hundred dollars, even less if they provide us with information in a digital format. Add the ability for the web visitor to make reservations on-line and the cost can go up significantly - depending on sophistication anywhere from a few hundred to a couple of thousand dollars extra.
Do I need to have a Condition of Use on my organisation’s web site?
Any advice that is placed on a web site may give rise to liability implications just as readily as advice in writing if it subsequently turns out to contain an error or omission.
Organisations seeking to establish a web presence need to ensure that they are adequately protected though a "Conditions of Use" document which is displayed on the site. The Conditions of Use document should regulate what can and cannot be done with the materials that are contained on the web site. Given the apparent ease with which intellectual property rights can be infringed in the digital medium, it is important to assert any intellectual property rights that you may have together with the use to which such materials may be put.
In addition, the conditions of use should seek to limit an organisation’s liability for loss caused by various factors including errors or omissions and computer viruses.
The usual contract law principles will almost certainly apply when considering whether its Conditions of Use binds a visitor to a web site. A small disclaimer at the bottom of a page is unlikely to be sufficient. Care should therefore be taken to ensure that the Conditions of Use are displayed prominently on a web site. Where appropriate, the user should be required to accept the Conditions of Use before access is allowed to the web site though this may not always be palatable from an ease of use perspective.
It is virtually impossible to draft a Conditions of Use document that will be effective in every jurisdiction. A disclaimer written in English is unlikely to be effective in China. The Conditions of Use document should mandate that Australian law governs all use and that any disputes are to be brought before an Australian court. Ultimately, the effectiveness of such a clause may depend upon the law governing the place at which the web page is accessed.
