Web Design Process
This process centric approach has meant that every project we undertake leverages on past experience to provide more value to our clients. Xtreme Network Consulting have identify the need for a process based development and testing approach. While well defined development processes existed for software development, the life cycle of a website design project was largely a vague process at best.
Scope: This stage is an information gathering and objective definition stage. It is vital that the goals are clearly defined both for the project and for the website in general. This stage will also involve decision making about vital element like what information and content is already available and what will need to be generated or procured.
Plan: This stage consists of a brainstorming session to arrive at ideas to best achieve the objectives as defined in the Scope stage. The stage will produce several elements that will later form the basis of the web site. Also the timelines and deliverables thereof are defined and agreed upon in this stage for the entire project. Client tasks are allocated for procuring and providing assets like company logo graphic, internal photographs and voids are identified and alternative plans are made.
Build: This Stage we will also decide on the hosting options best suited for the stated goals (as defined in Scope stage). We will work with the feedback proved by the client. This stage will also consist of populating the site with relevant content. The content will be obtained in consultation with the client. The end result of this stage will be a near complete website.
Test: This stage will see comprehensive testing by us to ensure that the website will appear correctly on all Operating system platforms. Testing will also be done to ensure compatibility with major browsers. pe. Xtreme Network Consulting will also undertake optimization in this stage to ensure that the site is usable by search engines.
Deploy: The site will be uploaded to the live server and final Quality assurance testing will be done.
