Development stages

The overall number of development stages usually varies from five to eight, but every time the whole picture stays pretty much the same.
So, here are five main steps I do:

1
Information Gathering
The stage of discovering and researching, determines how the subsequent steps will look like. The most important task at this point is to get a clear understanding of your future website purposes, the main goals you wish to get, and the target audience you want to attract to your site. Such kind of a website development questionnaire helps to develop the best strategy for further project management.
2
Planning
At this stage of the website development cycle, the developer creates the data that allow a customer to judge how the entire site will look like. The other important thing is select technology stack – programming language, frameworks, CMS (usually WordPress) that you’re going to use.
3
Design
During the design phase, your website takes shape. All the visual content, such as images, photos, and videos is created at this step. Once again, all the info that was gathered through the first phase is crucial. The customer and target audience must be kept in mind while you work on a design.
4
Coding
At this step, you can finally start creating the website itself. Graphic elements that have been designed during the previous stages should be used to create an actual website. Usually, the home page is created first, and then all sub-pages are added, according to the website hierarchy. Frameworks and CMS should be implemented to make sure that the server can handle the installation and set-up smoothly.
5
Testing, Review and Launch
Testing is probably the most routine part of a process. Every single link should be tested to make sure that there are no broken ones among them. You should check every form, every script, run a spell-checking software to find possible typos. Use code validators to check if your code follows the current web standards, cross-browser compatibility.
