Web Design, Development & Programming Website Development Cycle

Web Development

the process and practice of developing or creating web pages

Technologies Used

Ajax (Asynchronous Javascript and XML) ASP (Active Server Pages) / ASP.NET CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) ColdFusion Java EE Javascript Perl PHP (Hypertext Preprocessor) Ruby/Ruby on Rails CGI (Common Gateway Interface)

The Life Cycle Model

Conception

Scrapbook design through meetings and examples current branding and marketing material are used to formulate a group of ideas that articulate the company's objectives. Anchor points discussed and created

These areas form critical points of reference for the whole design process and are considered the premier traffic pages.

Preparation

Tools needed as well as information should be in place Involves the process of design

Creation

Actual development of the website according to design specifications

Testing

make sure that the website we create for you works in any Internet browser available Areas of testing includes:

Security Performance, Load, and stress HTML/CSS validation Accessibility Usability

Performance, Load & Stress Testing

Load testing is the practice of modeling the expected usage of a software program by simulating multiple users accessing the program's services concurrently. Performance testing is performed, from one perspective, to determine how fast some aspect of a system performs under a particular workload. Stress testing is a test that put a greater emphasis on robustness, availability, and error handling under a heavy load, than on what would be considered correct behavior under normal circumstances.

Web Accessibility

refers to the practice of making websites usable by people of all abilities and disabilities.

Web Accessibility

Visual: Visual impairments including blindness, various common types of low vision and poor eyesight, various types of colour blindness; Motor/Mobility: e.g. difficulty or inability to use the hands, including tremors, muscle slowness, loss of fine muscle control, etc., due to conditions such as Parkinson's Disease, muscular dystrophy, cerebral palsy, stroke; Auditory: Deafness or hearing impairments, including individuals who are hard of hearing; Seizures: Photoepileptic seizures caused by visual strobe or flashing effects. Cognitive/Intellectual: Developmental disabilities, learning disabilities (dyslexia, dyscalculia, etc.), and cognitive disabilities of various origins, affecting memory, attention, developmental "maturity," problem-solving and logic skills, etc.

Usability Testing

means for measuring how well people can use some human-made object (such as a web page, a computer interface, a document, or a device) for its intended purpose, i.e. usability testing measures the usability of the object. Usability testing focuses on a particular object or a small set of objects, whereas general human-computer interaction studies attempt to formulate universal principles.

Implementation

website is uploaded to the agreed location

Monitoring

what happens after the delivery of a website is equally as important to all that takes place beforehand. website designs incorporate a query logging facility that can be used by clients to log queries direct to designers and developers. (feedback)
