WEB DEVELOPMENT PROCESS AND STAGES OR STRATEGIES

 The process of website development can be divided into following different Life Cycle steps:

1. Analysis : 

- In this phase, all the information required for the web project is gathered.

- Analysis of the requirement given by the customer is done by the group of programmers and designers.

2. Specification Building : 

- In this phase, Software Requirement Specification (SRS) document is prepared.

- In this document each and every element of the requirement is presented in detailed form.

3. Design and Development :

- In design phase, the layouts and navigation will be designed as a prototype.

- Test plans and procedures are developed for quality assurance. 

- In development phase, team will develop the database with all the data structures and sample data according to the requirements.

4. Content Writing : 

There are professional content developers who write industry specific and relevant content for the site. The grammatical and spelling check should be done in this phase.

5. Coding : 

- In coding stage programmers add the code without disturbing the design.

- Coding team generate necessary testing plans as well as technical documentation.

6. Testing : 

- Both automated testing and manual testing should be done without fail.

- After doing all the testing, a live testing is necessary for websites and web based applications. After uploading the site there should be a complete testing.

7. Maintenance and Updation : Once the website is operational, ongoing promotion, technical maintenance, content management and staff training is needed on  a regular basis.
