Large Website design/mangement in VS question

I have been given the task to upgrade the company's website. It is
large and unorganized right now. There should be a main common area
with subareas for each division (5). My main question is what is the
best way to manage this in visual studio? Should I create one solution
and then 6 projects under it (1 for the main company content and then 1
for each division content) or should I split it up? If I do split it
up how do I reference pages in the other divisions or the main company
area without fully qualifying the paths? The content will be both
applications and static pages.

I know it is a broad question but I can't remember seeing any MS
guidance on how to manage a large site.

Thanks for any help.

Kind of like the way the directions for a circular saw don't include
guidance on how to build a house?

If building a large web site were so easy that we could give you a quick and
conclusive answer here, then I suspect we'd all be out of work soon.
That said, you might look here for some guidance:

Come on chaps, it's a reasonable enough question, isn't it? Given the brief,
is it better to make one application or split the task into several apps?
The OP has even given a specific problem that he thinks he might encounter,
namely referencing one projects URL from another app. Does anyone know a
clever way to do this? Can a folder in one application be "mapped" to a
common folder?

I do appreciate your humor but not necessarily your reply. I am simply
looking for some "best practices" not a construction team.

I did it. I proposed python as the main language for our next CAD/CAM software because I think that it has all the potential needed for it. I'm not sure yet if the decision will get through, but something I'll need in this case is some experience-based set of rules about how to use python in this context. For example... is defining readonly attributes in classes worth the hassle ? Does duck-typing scale well in complex

Hi. I was wondering if there are any more C++ books along the lines of "Large scale C++ software design" by Lakos, J. I.e. concerning larger design issues in close relation to C++.

In general there seems to be a huge amount concerning the C++ language as such and more "narrow" design issues, e.g. along the lines of Meyers Effective-
