Out of curiosity, I wanted to get some people's take on the different options available when planning an application, such as a customer service application, or something simple like a point of sale application, or something that manages customer's information and history. I guess most of these are very similar in nature. There are many options as far as I have observed, one can ...

Is it the general convention to have all HTML pages encoded as UTF8? or other? and why? Also, what about database collation? Does this need to match the HTML ...
