DESIGN Now is the time to really start creating functionality and creativity. You actually start to see your site come together. Be sure to have all information from all parties in this stage of the Life Cycle. Communicate correctly to make sure the needs of the client are met. This is an early but crucial step. Also there should be room for the designer(s) to have flexibility as they will probably have a great input on creativity or at the very least show you something that might just be beautiful as well as effective.

DEVELOPEMENT The designer(s) should continue to make your in- progress web site available to you for viewing. This keeps you completely in the loop for suggestions and criticism. This stage is the point where the web site itself is created. Once the shell has been created, your content will be distributed throughout the site. Elements such as the CMS (content management system) interactive contact forms, or ecommerce shopping carts are implemented as well. The technical front requires a successful web site with understanding of front-end web development. This applies to back-end work as well.

DEBUG Before Deployment………… Do not make the mistake of releasing a website that potentially has bugs! Zero-Configuration Debugging Debugging a PHP HTTP Request Visual Studio debugger ASP.NET Web applications locally or on a remote server SAS Stored Process Web Application environment Eclipse Debug -> Debug Configurations Zend Run | Debug Configurations Browser add- ons or extensions such as Firebug Whatever IDE, coding language, or environment you’re creating in, always debug and test! To learn more about debugging go to the Contact page at and fill out the form with your question.

DEPLOYMENT Now your website application has been tested, you are ready to deploy the application from the development server to the production server. Make sure the production database is properly configured, deployed, and connected to the production Web server. Check that the production Web server has all of the necessary software for the Web application to run correctly. Remember the pages that bring the core functionality, but you should also include any downloadable documents and other items that are offered on the Web pages. If your Web application uses components, add their outputs to your Web project and deploy them along with your Web files. After deployment, you’re live and up and running!
