How to design and develop a website?
Once
you are clear about your objectives and the information that you
want to put in your website, the next step is the presentation of
the information on to world wide web, or the actual web development.
The step-by-step website development process given below can help
you to understand it clearly.
Planning
First of all develop a blueprint of:
- Which
building blocks go into your site?
- Who is going
to do the work?
- How do you
want to group the different topics?
- How is the
information organized?
- How is the
information linked to each other?
Flow Charting
The flowchart is a visual outline of the information. Each
level or link represents a screen and/or control that must
be
created. This "map" is essential for the web development.
Site Concept
This stage
determines the overall design concept for the site. The concept
should be based upon what will
appeal to your target
audience to meet the site's goals. The concept
lays the groundwork for the theme and the site design.
Theme Development
The content, the audience and goals determine the
visual theme or style.
Interface Design
At this step, the interface controls (how the
visitor interacts with the computer screen) are
designed.
Each piece contributes
to the final integrated visual information design.
Page Design
The site design starts with the home page and
moves to the subordinate or child pages. The
technical
considerations
are the limitations
and set the level of effort.
Story Boards
The storyboards are the blueprints for your site.
These rough sketches tell your story and bring
together all
the elements
with the navigation.
Write and Edit content of the website for clarity,
grammar and consistency is the next important
consideration in
the web development
process.
Images
are Optimized - quality
of the images are enhanced and file size kept at minimum possible
to improve download times.
File Naming Convention
As part of File Naming Convention all graphics, sound, animation
and text files are brought together into their appropriate subdirectories
(folders).
Programming
There are Programming languages and scripts such as HTML, Javascript,
Flash, CGI-Pearl, PHP, etc., which are used for designing the on-line
services and functionality of the website and Integrate it with
database for e-commerce websites. This task follows a software
development life cycle separate from the web development process.
Website
Maintenance
All the files are uploaded to the server. Back ups of all the original
files are maintained for future revisions and updates. The update
includes changes to your text, images, graphics, etc
Website
Promotion
Making a website is not enough. You also have to promote it by adopting
on page and off page strategies, which help you to get top rankings
in the search engine.
