Keys To Quality Website Development

Web development is the ultimate capability that any IT consulting company can exhibit. Website Development is both sciences as well as an art. It is a science when you think about all the technical capabilities a team must bring together in order to produce the kind of website they want. Such websites are often the most effective & efficient websites that one can imagine. At the same time, it can also be considered art. What business processes can be, or should be, automated? What kind of customer transactions can be handled effectively, efficiently and securely? What data must be maintained to support all this work?

Depending on the nature of your business, inventory management, accounting, payment processing, customer support, and customer relationship management are the processes that must all swing into action once the customer transaction is initiated and completed. The fact that a number of these functions must now be processed over the Internet only makes the website development all the more difficult. Websites are the most important thing to manage all of your business activities. Your company must have a strategy for integrating the business processes with the website technology that initiates each of these internal functions.

The web development endeavor of any Website Development Service Provider will deliver the expected high-quality results only if a few key outcomes are delivered efficiently. Web development is a task that cannot be believed to be easy. With the introduction of techniques, like Website Development on Woocommerce, Wordpress, Shopify, Magento, etc., has made it easier & efficient to develop a website. However, these tools can only be used by experienced web developers easily to deliver a fully functional website quickly.

The process of web development traditionally involved setting up milestones loosely & meeting them, mainly referred to as design, development, testing & implementation. This process used to take several months to complete & were often completed sequentially. Today the website development process is characterized by processes and activities that are completed rapidly and more simultaneously, as opposed to sequentially. Ultimately, the standard results have not really changed.

Following is a list of 5 key performance results that must be met by every website development project, if it's to be considered a high-quality success.

1. Don't minimize testing of external components - Websites have never been functional silos. The Internet is a worldwide network of computers that must effectively and efficiently work with each to each valuable objectives. It’s always recommended to not assume that what works in the development environment will work when the website "goes live" as well. That's a major benefit of developing in a prototype environment. You are using a protected area of the exact network on which the website will ultimately be released, to complete the construction and testing of the website.
2. Quick functional development - Once aspects of the user-focused design are determined such as web page design or its functionality, it's vital to get these ideas to the developers. They need to be able to have something executing in a test environment that users can quickly review and provide feedback that can be actioned by the development team. For example, one website developer sets up a "prototype" sub-domain for the development of the client's website. Clients are encouraged to review the progress of their website development by reviewing the website defined to the "prototype" sub-domain. Once the "prototype" version of the website has passed all reviews, it is an easy upgrade to the live environment.
3. Version control is vital - In an environment where any component can be undergoing construction, review or modification at any particular time, keeping track of module versions and their integration with other specific module versions can be the "make or break" determining factor for the website development. You definitely DO NOT want to waste time and money wading through incompatible software modules during the development and testing of the website.
4. User-focused design - The success of your website is often judged by how well it is ranked in the search engines; eg., Google, Yahoo, and Bing. A major factor in the search engine algorithms that determine rankings is the time users spend on the website. Users spend time at websites that are designed to answer at least 2 significant questions. Is the user interface acceptable and is the website content compelling? To achieve these requirements, the designers of the website must be ready to adopt a customer/user focus. This means spending time with the user community; getting to know what excites and maintains their interest.
5. Flat project management hierarchy - The success of the previous point depends on excellent communication between ALL project members, especially the communication between the user community and the development team. To achieve this, it is better to have a project management structure that is more akin to a social network rather than a top-down hierarchy. This will promote open communication at all times. Leaders of the functional and technical designs will emerge naturally in this environment based on the expertise and outcomes that are achieved.

The 5 factors of website development success discussed here are certainly not the only factors that could impact a project's success. However, if you, or the Website Development Company that you have hired, can faithfully say that your web development process successfully fulfilled these five key objectives, the, your website has a good chance of meeting your overall business goals & objectives.
