WEB DEVELOPMENT LIFE CYCLE (WDLC)

• Websites are like a published product for any
  business and similar to any new project, even a
  website needs planning. This planning is the web
  development life cycle.
• A blend of right circumstances, right people,
  right tools, and enough effort can help make it
  happen and within a speculated time (as no one
  would like to wait for months for getting a
  website developed)
• Planning helps in turning average websites into
  outstanding!

• World is run by web and the amount of
  information that a user can click and keep
  exploring, is like digging inside a rabbit hole,
  you keep digging and you go in further and
  theres actually no end.

  visible among people who are your target clients?
• Solution- Get a web presence, get a website.
• Get ready to Express across the globe and put
  it all within your reach- GET A WEBSITE!

  choices than ever, so get online, cos thats
  where your customers are.
• Lets see what steps a WDLC aka Web Development
  Life Cycle follows

5
Planning and Information Gathering

• Begin with planning remember thats the first
  step to anything.
• No planning means no protocol, and means not
  knowing, what to do next, when done with one
  thing.
• Plan carefully, as a website can make or break
  your businesss reputation!

6
Website Fundamentals and Site Specifications

• Get a domain name or a web address
• Load content pictures, charts, products and price
  listings and anything else you want the customers
  to see.
• Customer security must never be overlooked
  especially if yours is an ecommerce business
  where customers share their personal info, for
  who on earth would like to see their confidential
  information going public.
• Decide a layout.
• From a local specialty shop to a worldwide arena,
  this is what a website can lead your business to!

7
Trial Product Designing

• Who all are needed- a programmer, a developer
  and a customer
• Discuss, analyze, research because as much as you
  tell, those much are your chances of getting in
  return. No say, no results.
• Speak out, after all its your money, discuss
  your objective, where you are now, and where you
  vision to be 6 months from now?
• A website is like your businesss online face, so
  try keeping it clean and beautiful!

8
Content Planning and Other Set Up

• Choose multimedia structures, which you wish
  should be a part of your site
• Comply with legal terms, why get into troubles
  later?
• Discuss about links, navigation bar, graphics,
  color scheme, theme and keep asking as it will
  cost you nothing, but time.
• Content planning is crucial, so dont hurry for
  no reader loves coming to a site thats designed
  beautifully, but lacks the readability factor.
  Check for accuracy, completeness, relevancy,
  errors (no matter any type are harmful).

9

• People dont just use chrome, choose a multi
  browser site
• Dont force your readers to wear their reading
  glasses, offer them an easy readability
• Dont use colors just because its your favorite,
  choose something that goes ideally with your
  websites layout.
• Test the water before diving in, otherwise
  finding it too cold, your visitors may get turned
  away!

10
Final Testing and Launching

• A usable site is important, dont do it just
  because everyone else is doing.
• Ask for a sample why make changes in the entire
  website when you can see it going one by one
• Check for the publishing site, hosting service
  (as nobody likes visiting a site that shows 404
  or 503 forbidden error)

11

• Check functionality, downloading time,
  navigability, working links
• Get SEO or SEM services to help potential
  customers find your businesses, once its up and
  running.
• Ask for the follow up, who will do it and after
  how long
• Its for your visitors and not just for the WEB

12
Maintenance and Updating

• Building and forgetting is not needed, as when
  you plant a seed, just planting it in soil will
  not give you fruits taking care, watering,
  providing necessary nutrients would cause
  fruiting. Similar is for your website, which will
  flourish only if proper maintenance is offered.
• Website Maintenance is important to keep your
  recurrent visitors and ROI count up!
