The Custom Web Development begins - Step by Step

7. Prototype
Here's where the real fun begins. By now we should have spent enough time on the project to ensure that everyone's comfortable with how it will work. The prototype will turn our documents into a reality. Our goal isn't to bicker about minor design elements such as whether we should use one- or two-pixel borders, nor is it to lay down any ASP or PHP. Now is the time to simply produce a visual that we can show the client.
8. Prototype Approval
Because most of the work we do is client-centered, we include this vital phase. If the project we're completing is for a client, this may well be the last time they'll see the site until it is ready for launch. It will give them a vision of where we're going, and provide just enough information for them to digest and be happy.
However, prototype approval is just as essential for internal projects as it is for client work, as it gives everyone a chance to see and critique where the site is at, providing both designers and developers with valuable feedback and information they'll need in order to go forward.
After this step we could easily split our team up into two groups: designers and developers. The designers have enough visuals to produce a final copy, and the developers have enough information, examples and forms to lay down some incredible code.

The key phases are:

Phase 1- Keyword Strategy
Phase 2 - Site Design & Structure
Phase 3 - Optimizing Web Pages
Phase 4 - Link Building
Phase 5 Getting Indexed
Phase 6 Monitoring & Adjustment
9. Working Production
This is where the rubber hits the road. Our designers design, Our developers develop, and we come together with something that isn't necessarily perfect, but which works. The database is laid out, the ASP and PHP are done, we've written all your compiled components, the design is finished, and the navigation and headers are the best this side of the new millennium. It should look decent, work smoothly, and give everyone a chance to see where the project now stands -- and appreciate how far it has come.
