How to make maintenance document for a website? I've created a site using XHTML ,CSS, jQuery etc. it's big site.
Now i have to write a maintenance document for a site for if any changes comes in future related to design, content and functionality then those things will be handled by someone else.
How and what should i keep in maintenance document.
Your maintenance document should contain a high-level design of what each file contains and the general code structure of the project.
For example, if you wrote some javascript to handle certain events, document those and how they interact with the page.
You should also document any logical groupings you've made. If a folder contains all the XHTML for a certain topic, write those down.
Also give a brief explanation of how you used CSS to layout the page. Which classes are where on the page, and which classes or ids are important.
As for the how, I like to set up a Wiki in such cases, for example DokuWiki. They're easy to understand, and in case of DokuWiki there's no database involved, just plain text files.
As to what, (in addition to what Ben S nicely outlines in his answer) I'd cover
The basic technologies used
Any client-side libraries used and their versions
A rundown on the directory structure
The hosting environment, what is configured where, control panel URLs and the like (never actual passwords)
Names and contact data of contacts (Tech support, etc.) plus any experiences with them (how best to reach them, phone, mail, etc.)

Let me first explain what I am trying to achieve... I would like to develop a website that offers some product. This product consists of multiple parts (for example, say a car). The user selects different parts and an image is generated dynamically to preview what the product would look like.
I know how to set the website up, manage database connections, and do all of that. My question is simple: Is there an existing framework that would help me to manage the manipulation of the images easily? My intention is to have separate images of each part and to overlay them in a determined fashion to develop the full product.
I think this would be possible with some fancy manipulation of the basic image controls, but I thought I would see if there was anything to make my job easier. I haven't done much with images in .NET so I don't really know what is available to me as of yet. I am experienced with images in C++ and C.
Note: This is only for research purposes, I am not developing this for any client or job. I just want to see how to do it. I am open to using regular .NET or MVC, depending on which would be most helpful for this.
Thank you for any help that you can offer.
You will need to create a full image of the car but have specific segments which you can identify through code. So your full image can be an "Image Sprite" and then you can show/hide specific chunks as the user is selecting/deselecting those segments. Here is an example that uses CSS to show specific parts of a full image. In that example, the images are separated using CSS, but you would not do that for your case. You would simply hide or show them.

I am totally a beginner to WordPress. I have a html site that needs to be converted to WordPress. And it should be fully customizable. I have seen plenty of tutorials but those didn't help. Anyone who can help?
This is not a great question for SO but FYI you need to consider what your site contains. Is it a bunch of HTML pages each of which represents a page with content or a post with content?
Wordpress is a CMS (content management system). It primarily deals with posts (dated items), pages (static posts), and images (media). Think about how your content in your existing HTML site will map to Wordpress.
Finally think about the rationale to move. There is a trend to move away from CMS / Wordpress to static HTML sites (for performance and security). What would you win out of migrating?
You see, more questions than answers. Keep investigating and come back with specific questions.
There are several options:
Use some online converter, like https://htmltowordpress.io/ ( but I guess you'll have do some tweaks after to suite your needs)
Install clean WordPress on your host and search for some good WordPress theme, that could be tweaked to look like yours original site Front End.
Hire a freelancer do do the work for you, It should't be very expensive :)
First of all, You should have a good knowledge of html,php and css.
You can choose to start with one these two of following options.
1, Creating a new theme.
2, Choosing an exixting theme and updating it.
You can find both the above given options at https://www.elegantthemes.com/blog/tips-tricks/converting-html-sites-to-wordpress-sites
Hope this will help.

While Single-Page application approach is rising as a web development choice, I still don't understand, practically, how would losing the ability to go back/forward in the browser be an O.K sacrifice? Imagine Facebook without direct page navigation! Is there an essential/direct purpose for SPA I can't get my hands on?
You wont have to give up back button functionality to develop a single page application. HTML5 has a history api (and there's polyfills for older browsers) which allows your to keep back button functioning properly.
The main reason (in my opinion) to go for a single page approach is the more app-like feel it gives you. For example gmail feels more like an app than a web page, and given its purpose, I think that's way it should be too. Another example might be the pixlr online image editor.
Single page approach indeed doesn't suit every purpose, but when you want a webapp to feel just that, instead of a website, then single page might be the way to go.
You mentioned direct navigation in comments, and that's totally doable if it's something that makes sense in your context. Angularjs can do that, and I'm sure pretty much every modern single page framework has a way of implementing this.

I have recently taken ownership of an Wordpress website, after having a long dispute with the previous developer.
Because of this, I want to make sure that he didn't left some malicious code inside - to steal passwords, change things in the database, remove files ....
So the question is that instead of checking each file inside (Wordpress core, plugins, and so on) - what other possibilities I have to make sure that there is no threat? How can one protect himself from an inside attack?
I know that this can be difficult to answer, but maybe you have some past experience with this kind of situations...
If it's a stock installation of Wordpress, you can use "diff" or a similar file-comparison tool to compare your installation against the official distribution to see what changes, if any, have been made.
After you've done that and made sure you understand the purpose of any changes, you'll need to go over the configuration, account settings, and the like to make sure there aren't any backdoors or other security holes deliberately left behind.
Unfortunately the only definitive safe answer I can offer is a fresh install, followed by a copy of TEXT content into the new site. Non-text-content items you want to retain will need to be either rewritten or thoroughly vetted.

For a few days now i am looking for a webdesigners who can make my page look nice. All i can find is people that are making .psd files of websites so i can cut out elements and put them on my page. I don't need that. I want someone, who will visit my page, look through my .css file, remake it, and maybe add few graphic elements on site - like logo and/or some icons.
I would do it by myself, but i am very bad at selecting/coupling colors, so i need someone to do it for me.
So, reasuming: how do i search through google to actually find people that can make my page look good by remaking my .css files?
People still go by the umbrella term Web Designers : http://www.hanselman.com/blog/HireAndPayADesignerAndBeHappy.aspx
I generally search css web designers to narrow it down.
Altho this area may seem gray there are a few professionals involved on different aspects of what you want.
The reason behind the confusion is that the same professional might occupy more than one role.
A Web Designer should be be able to do that. And it is required of one the basic knowledge of CSS/HTML alongside with your description.
A Web Ui Engenier is the specialist on CSS/HTML/JavaScript he wont design the interface per say He is the guy who implements it.
And a Web UX Designer is the person who will design the user interface and experience. How it should behave and the UI engenier will implement it.
