If you decide to create a site, then you should understand that it requires investment, as well as time and effort. It can be compared with real estate, design, construction and equipment of which you are personally engaged.

In creating a site, you need to consider everything to the smallest detail. You can not start drawing a site without planning all the stages and without agreeing with the customer. This is not done by honest artists or those who do not understand the process of creating an Internet resource.

Now about the importance of planning. Many rush “into the pool with their heads”, while forgetting about creating a good plan. But you must understand that any work that takes time, for 2/3 consists of planning and only 1/3 — of the implementation of the goals.

Performers often miss the planning stage. Because of this, unexpected errors are often detected that lead to the fact that you need to redo part of the work. If you stocked up time, thought out the project before starting development in such a way as to avoid mistakes, in the end result you will save not only time, but also money.

Website development steps:

Setting goals — before creating a project, you need to define goals. If you do not set a goal, how can you understand why the site is being created. Setting goals will not take you much time, but in the future it will help you determine whether the project is successful, whether investments are paying off.

Audience research — before formulating a website concept for yourself, answer the following questions:

• for whom are you creating a resource?
• what do potential customers like?
• what will interest them and be useful?
• what is better for them: text or drawing?
• what communication channels do you use?
• is it possible to communicate with them using e-mail?

The owner of the resource needs to understand his audience. This will provide an opportunity to adjust the site to their needs. If they are interested in the information on your site, they will come back to you each time for a new portion of knowledge.

Writing the Terms of Reference (TOR) and creating a prototype is one of the main steps. Mistakes cannot be made, since their presence in the work can significantly delay the process of site execution. Project requirements, capabilities and working methods are described in the ToR. It can be used to write many sites, making some visual corrections. The specialists of our company can help you in writing the ToR. A prototype of the site is created for the customer to visualize the location of navigation and elements. It is to navigation that you need to pay special attention. Getting to a site with inconvenient navigation, the client loses a lot of time to search for the necessary information, after which, with a huge probability, he will no longer return to this resource.

But navigation is not the only thing that can make a visitor make a purchase or any other necessary action. The site must have a call to action (English Call to Action, CTA). You do not ask — they do not. As a result, they will go to where they will be told what to do. Without STA, do not expect your goals to be achieved.

Design drawing, layout — the web-designer is responsible for the visualization of the site: colors, elements, details, chips. REMEMBER: the site design should last at least 1-2 years, then you can make updates. If you unsuccessfully choose a design in the initial stages — do not earn the trust of visitors.

After the designer's work is completed, he sends the customer a site layout for approval. Only after the layout is approved, it is sent to layout — translation of thumbnails into HTML pages (adapted for the browser and device).

The customer should take an active part in the development of the site design if he wants to get a site that will fully satisfy him.

Programming — what is a programmer for? Everything is simple — it makes the site “live”. What does it mean? Let's say you have a long red button with the phrase “Book a room”. The visitor must click on it and go to the page with the reservation form. So, it is the programmer who makes this transition happen.

After the programming phase is completed, you get a site without information — “fish”.

Basic content — how often have you seen sites on the network without any information. We are not either. The client, in fact, came to your resource for this information.

The filling stage is the translation of information into the required format, after which it is published on the pages. Content is prepared in advance. Anyone can write it - from a copywriter to the owner of the site. But do not forget that you constantly need to maintain the interest of the audience in your resource — to publish relevant and interesting information.

Testing and hosting — site verification occurs at the completion of each of the stages. But do not forget that we are all human beings and may be wrong. Therefore, at the end of all work on the site, it is necessary to do a final testing of the site, which will show if there are any defects. Usually, for testing and displaying the site is laid out on a special platform. After all errors are fixed, the site is placed on its permanent place on the network — hosting. But even after this, the site is tested completely, so as not to miss a single error.

Only the best testers work at our Glyanec studio, who do their job 100%. We can say with confidence that your site will work like clockwork.

And in the end.
