Process and Management of a Web Development Projects

Stage 1:

Understanding the scope of the project. Discuss as much as possible with the client the goals of the project. Clearly define the purposes for the website. What demographic are they trying to target. Choice of color scheme to represent the companies look and feel. Overview of possible technologies used such as CMS, wordpress, video, image galleries, flash etc...

Stage 2:

Design mock ups for possible layouts of the website which is then sent and reviewed by client. Constructively take on board feedback from client and make amends where necessary, all the while giving guidance and ideas. This process will tend to occur many times and layouts will be sent back and forth until the client is completely satisfied with one. Get client approval for final design layout.

Stage 3:

Commencement of site development. Hand coding of the website with the use of XHTML and CSS all the while fulfilling web standards (W3C) and accessibility requirements. Search engine Optimisation best practices are carried out to get the best search results possible. Testing for cross browser compatibility. All dynamic coding such as php, javascript, Ajax and databases is carried out if necessary. If requested by the client the integration of a CMS is built in order to give clients the flexibility to update and maintan their
sites content.

Stage 4:

Upon completion of the project and when the site has been uploaded to the world wide web I always offer maintenance and support. I also allow clients to be able to view their sites click through rate and performance with easy to read accurate stats through either Google Analytics or other web trackers.
