The Stages of Website Development

The initial stage of website development is actually the deciding factor of website creation.

Planning to develop a website? Are you planning to do it on your own? Well, if your answer is a Yes, then I will have to ask my next round of questions too.
Do you have the required skills? Have you done your homework? Have you gathered enough information through effective R&D? If you are doubtful about these answers then I’ll only ask you one question, Are You Ready to learn?

Alright, I assume that you answered in affirmative to the last question and that’s the reason why you are interested in reading further. So lets just begin the game. Yes, website development is a game and interesting game for those who love the technical world. And like any other game, there are a set of rules and regulations in this game too.

Rule one of the game is to Project Planning. Project here is referred to the website, and planning is to decide on the fate of the website. This infact is the most important stage of website development. Here you not only decide what is the project and how it should appear, but even other details like who it shall target, what should be the target, how to attain the target and what to add and avoid.

The second rule or the second stage of website development is Research and Development. Once we know what we have to achieve, our next goal is to find out how we can achieve it and if there is a simple and ironed way to go about it. Say for example your website requires a shopping cart facility in it. Then you need to know how a shopping cart functions, what are its requirements, and how can you go about creating it.

The third stage of website development is production. This can be compared to playing the game. It is here that all your planning and R& D is actually executed and implemented to see if they are fruitful or not. The actual website development takes place in this stage where your website is created, given a face and a character and added features.

Comes next the analysis stage or the beta stage of website development where the usability of the website is evaluated. If things implemented in the production stage are found non functional in the beta stage, suggestions for changes and replacement are provided.

These are just a few initial overview requirement of website development. There is much more in each of the steps which you shall understand only when you are already into the game.
