and USABILITY
VS
MAIN CHARACTERS

9. The journey starts...

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

11. THE DESIGNER THE DEVELOPER
Understand 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....

12. It is design time...

13. 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.

14. THE DEVELOPER THE DESIGNER
Identify 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....

15. A long night coding...

16. 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.

17. THE DESIGNER THE DEVELOPER
Check 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....

18. Testing your patience...

19. 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.

20. THE DEVELOPER
Solve technical and
functional issues
Report any necessary
changes to the designer
but most of all....
THE DESIGNER
Test design consistency
and general look and feel
Ask developer to refine
any design issues
but most of all....

21. Almost done...

22. 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.

24. It is good to have
an end to journey toward;
but it is the journey that
matters, in the end.
Ernest Hemingway, American author and journalist.
