Stages of site creation

Stages of creating a site can be divided into commercial and technical. That is, the creation of a site for an order does not begin with its design, but with a client search. When a client is found, a contract is drawn up, negotiated, amended and approved. These are the commercial stages of creating a website.

The contract prescribes the mechanisms and principles of interaction between the customer and the contractor, the terms of execution, the method of payment. The contract is attached to the Terms of Reference, which describes the requirements for the site and the budget.

The workflow itself assumes the following stages of the site creation: preliminary stage, work on the design and architecture of the project, work on the technological basis, writing content, testing, setting up the project, launching the project.

The preliminary stage involves identifying all the customer's requirements for the design of the project, as well as for its technological basis. At the preliminary stage, the project objectives and objectives are defined and formulated, the project implementation plan is drawn up . At the preliminary stage, there are several meetings with the customer, the result of which is a "brief about design" - this is a document about the features of the graphic design of the project.

At the stage of working on the design and architecture of the project , an analysis of the interface conditions is performed, and an intuitive navigation is created. These are the necessary conditions for an effective and effective design. Any site today should be understandable to everyone who gets it. Any user should be able to understand the interface of the site and find on it all that is needed. Based on these studies and developments, a design concept is formed, on the basis of which a pilot project is created. Trial projects help to choose the most optimal solution for the implementation of all project functions. Then the chosen solution must be approved by the customer. During the discussion, the project is undergoing further development and adjustment. At the output are samples of typical pages of the site. All stages of creating a website are equally important, but it is the stage of work on design and architecture that creates the attractiveness of the site, its aesthetics and character.

At the third stage, work is underway to create a technological basis in accordance with the terms of reference and the design concept. During this period, work is underway on the structure of databases, partition templates, interactive services, the principles and interfaces of the administration system are being developed. This is necessary for an immediate update. The result of this stage is a working version of the site. It is necessary to correlate the purpose of creating a site with what was obtained at this stage.

Then comes the stage of creating content and filling it with the site. In addition to the texts, it is possible to add a graphic addition to the site. At this stage it is important to think over the style of the texts and their content. The purpose of creating a website is largely achieved thanks to competent content that interests users.

When all the texts and materials are compiled and placed on the site, testing of the project begins. It shows all the problems and shortcomings committed while creating the site, and allows them to be fixed. After troubleshooting, the site is displayed to the customer.

When the customer has approved the resulting creation, there are consultations on administration, setting up the equipment and ensuring the functioning of the site by the customer.

The process of creating a website ends with its launch into work and its opening for Internet users.

The creation of the site involves specialists who have experience in Internet technologies and are familiar with the specifics of working on the Web. The project is coordinated by the manager. Also, the working team usually includes a designer, a web technologist, an HTML encoder, a copywriter editor.
