The journey starts...

This is the most creative part of theproject and everybody is bursting with ideas for the new website.The first priority is to determineproject objectives, requirements and what will make it successful.

THE DESIGNER THE DEVELOPERUnderstand the criteria for success

Conduct research

Understand brand vision

Be focused on effectiveness

but most of all....

Identify the best coding solution

Suggest interactive features

Point out execution issues

Be focused on efficiency

but most of all....

It is design time...

Based on existing corporate colours (if any), the designer will create a static mock-up of the homepage, showing exactly how the web page will look, but without any functionality yet.

THE DEVELOPER THE DESIGNERIdentify limits of the design

Suggest alternative solutions

Share your expertise

but most of all....

Develop an adequate visual language

Think through the interactivity

Involve developers

but most of all....

A long night coding...

The static concepts are taken and chopped up into component parts ready for coding. Using different languages, like HTML and CSS, the web developer will render the design into an interactive web page.

THE DESIGNER THE DEVELOPERCheck the design’s implementation

Accept compromises

Be available for changes

but most of all....

Develop the design details

Add interaction and functionality

Consult the designer

but most of all....

Testing your patience...

This stage involves running the template through many different browsers, devices and computer platforms and making sure everything works, no matter from which part of the website the visitor is coming from.

THE DEVELOPERSolve technical and

functional issues

Report any necessary changes to the designer

but most of all....

THE DESIGNERTest design consistency

and general look and feel

Ask developer to refine any design issues

but most of all....

Almost done...

In this final step the web team must make sure that the site is running as efficiently as possible and that no functionality has been compromised in the migration.

matters, in the end.Ernest Hemingway, American author and journalist.
