Websites are crucial for businesses and require careful planning through the web development life cycle (WDLC) to be successful. Key steps include getting a domain, creating user-friendly content, ensuring customer security, and maintaining the site for optimal performance and visibility. Effective website design is essential to attract and retain customers in an increasingly digital marketplace.

2. 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!

3. 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 there’s actually no end.
Problem- Wish to make your products and services
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!

4. Customers with technology advancement have more
choices than ever, so get online, cos that’s where your
customers are.
Lets’ see what steps a WDLC aka Web Development
Life Cycle follows…

5. Begin with planning; remember that’s 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
business’s reputation!

6.  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. 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 it’s your money, discuss your
objective, where you are now, and where you vision to
be 6 months from now?
A website is like your business’s online face, so try
keeping it clean and beautiful!

8.  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 don’t hurry for no
reader loves coming to a site that’s designed
beautifully, but lacks the readability factor. Check for
accuracy, completeness, relevancy, errors (no matter
any type are harmful).

9.  People don’t just use chrome, choose a multi browser
site
 Don’t force your readers to wear their reading glasses,
offer them an easy readability
 Don’t use colors just because it’s 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.  A usable site is important, don’t 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 it’s up and running.
 Ask for the follow up, who will do it and after how long
It’s for your visitors and not just for the WEB

12. 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!
