The first action to be taken is to research what could make the website stand out from the rest of the other websites in the same category, what is the purpose for developing this website, what are the subsequent main goals for developing this website and what are the targeted audience the clients are planning to reach out to. Once done, commence a suitable set of questions regarding the website development. These all will be able to provide the insights on how to develop the website.
At the second stage, the developer needs to plan using the information previously gathered in the previous phase on how the website will look overall. In which a sitemap will be created which shows an organized flow of the connected web pages. In which the developers will be able to view the overall relation between the main areas of the websites with ease without confusion. Once this is approved the next step can be started with the exoskeleton aka wireframe created using lines which are arranged to form shapes that don't contain any color nor design with information content provided for the website.
When the design phase begin, the layout of the page starts to form using images, photos and videos with the information gathered from the first step in mind.The main function of this layout is to present the information with the layouts of different page being similar to each other, easy to understand and avoiding being too contradictory to one another.
Later on, the layout is to be sent for review, if the client is not satisfied with it or requests some changes then the layout should be changed according to the clients wishes, this process repeats until the client is completely satisfied with it.
In this stage it is important to put into essence what it is that you would like to convey to the customer. It involves eye-catching headlines, text editing, bold texts and so on. It is important to note that the client is deeply involved in providing the website content to be implemented in the site. It is even more optimal if the content is provided before or during the website design phase.
At this step, the creation of the website can begin.The graphically inputted layout in the previous phase should be used to create the actual website by the developers.The developers use css and html with tools such as visual studio code, netbean etc to create the website. The website should sometimes be split into modules to be assigned to other web developers teams and be done in an allocated time if it is too large. The home page should be created first and then only all the sub-paged be added subsequently according to the sitemap created previously. Frameworks and CMS should be implemented to make sure the setup on the server side can be installed smoothly.
Multiple testing is executed in a planned out routine as part of the possess with each of the web pages tested in case any parts are broken amongst them by using multiple types of code with the current web standard. Once everything is checked and confirmed the website can be uploaded to the server. The files are to be deployed using FTP software. Once the files are deployed another test is to be executed to ensure everything is installed correctly.
It is important to make sure everything is in order for the website as it is important to make sure the website is fine and dainty. In addition, a feedback system should be added to the site to allow the feedback of possible problems being detected by end-users. This is an important task thus it is a must to be seen to immediately. The final thing is to always keep the website up to date using a CMS.
