Blog Post 3 - Site Development

Website development is a very simple process if you look at it in the right way. The process starts with getting the requirements, goals, and any pieces that are going to be given to you from a 3rd party. From there a functional mockup of the base features should be started. With the users testing to ensure that is what they want and need from day 1. This process repeats itself as you add features and other pieces of the site. Once the site is complete the users would need to do some complete testing and then sign a user acceptance document.

My favorite part of the web development process is to write the code to the website. I enjoy creating the look of the site and then ripping it apart and creating the html and css behind the site. I am starting to look into php and .net so I can use some other functionality on the sites that I build. I also have been looking into incorporating HTML 5 into my sites, but I don't believe that all the browsers are compatible with HTML 5 yet. And not that I am lazy, but there is no point in writing efficient code just to have it fail or have to write alternate code for browsers that don't support all the features yet. We will get there soon enough.
