Define the goals and purpose of the site, construct a site identity, determine what content should go on the site, diagnose dynamic site requirements, if any, and figure out ways to attract visitors to the site after it gets published on the Web.
Before we begin any Web site, we ensure a good understanding of the project as a
whole, as well as all the different steps or phases that you will move through during
the Web-development process. Most Web site projects have a logical flow of development,
a type of evolution with distinct phases that, when followed, can streamline the
entire design process. Here’s the general order in which most of our Web site projects
evolve:
Agreement phase:
Design phase:
Building phase:
Testing phase:
Site launch:
Draft and submit a proposal to the client for the project that outlines the scope of the work in written form so that both the designer and client have a clear understanding of the expectations and outcome of the project, as well as financial agreements, time frame, and deliverables. and a deposit is paid to the designer to begin work.
Characterize a target audience; construct an identity for the ideal site visitor; gather information about the target audience’s computer usage; determine the benefits to visitors; make decisions about layout, color, organization, and content; and finally mock up a design and present it to the client for approval.
Convert a mock-up into HTML, CSS, and JavaScript in a WYSIWYG Web editor such as
Adobe Dream weaver; organize content in visually pleasing ways; create and optimize
Web graphics; add dynamic capabilities to the pages with JavaScript and other programming
languages when warranted.
Test the design on a testing server in the most popular browsers and browser versions on Mac, PC, and Linux platforms in the most popular operating systems (Windows XP, Vista, Mac OS X, and so on) at a variety of monitor resolutions; validate the code; check for spelling errors; fix coding errors; with no technical problems.
Secure a domain and hosting plan, upload the site’s files to a host server, retest the site, and be ready to maintain the site post launch.
