Website Analysis and discovery phase

We will review the previous website, if it exists, to see which operational elements and functionalities could be used.

Website Planning Phase
One of the most important parts of the development process is drawing up the project plan. The project plan is drawn up on the basis of the analysis document that was prepared in the first phase. The project plan defines the objectives of the project, the deadlines, the deliverables and the project scope. An annex to the project plan outlines the project schedule of activities for the developer and the client.Completed website sitemap.In addition, we will prepare a content creation strategy on the basis of the content audit carried out in the first phase.
One of the most common and difficult problems that plague web development projects is getting out of scope. The developer, together with the client, sets a goal, deliverable or functionality in the analysis document that is time-bound in the project plan. If the requirements of this objective, deliverable or functionality change gradually during the development process, or if new functionalities are to be added during the development process that were not foreseen before, this is work outside the project scope. In this case, the project is updated to include the new requirements and the phase schedule and the project budget and scope are updated.
Kodulehe Disaini etapp
Analüüsidokumendi ja brandbooki(CVI) põhjal loob disainer kodulehest interaktiivse prototüübi ehk disainivaated figmas – detailsete prototüüpide puhul on kindlasti vajalik teostada ka testimised erinevate huvigruppidega juba esimeste disaini vaadete valmimise järel, näiteks nagu ettevõtte ärikliendid või jae kliendid, võtmekliendid, potentsiaalsed kliendid(külm grupp), ettevõtte töötajad kes hakkavad kodulehte kasutama enda töös. Disaini etapp on jaotatud iganädalasteks disaini sprintideks. Peale esmaste disaini vaadete valmimist anname Teile ligipääsu disaini vaadetele kus saate neid üle vaadata, disaini elementidele ja lehekülgedele kommentaare lisada ja disaini vaateid kinnitada.
Lihtsamate eridisainiga kodulehe projektide puhul piisab enamasti ka mõnest tähtsamast leheküljest disaini vaate loomisest, et disaini küsimused saaksid lahendatud enne arendus etappi algust ja kliendil oleks üldpilt milline tema koduleht välja hakkab nägema.
Juhul kui ettevõttel veel ei ole loodud CVI-d ehk ettevõtte visuaalne identiteet (ingl. Corporate visual identity) saame selle teile vajadusel luua. Loe lähemalt Brändingu teenuse kohta
Kodulehe Arenduse etapp
Arendusfaas hõlmab endas kodulehe tegelikku ehitamist. Selles etapis toimub kodulehe reaalne arendus ja kodeerimine. See on kodulehe arendusprotsessi kõige aeganõudvam osa mis omakorda jaguneb kaheks osaks. Etapp jaguneb kaheks osaks: Front-end tööd ja Back-end tööd:
Front-end tööd ehk disaini etapis valminud disaini vaadete kodeerimine.
Back-end tööd on tegelike funktsioonide väljatöötamine ehk siis analüüsidokumendis kirjeldatud funktsionaalsuste kodeerimine ja dokumenteerimine. Kui kasutajaliidese kujundavad visuaalsed elemendid, siis taustaprogrammis kodeeritakse juhiseid, et panna iga element täitma vajalikke funktsioone.
Kodulehe Testimis etapp
Testimis etapis toimub valminud kodulehe testimine automaat testide ja ka eelnevate test gruppidega. Arendaja kontrollib kodulehe kõikide elementide funktsionaalsust. Eesmärk on tuvastada kõik probleemid, nagu katkised lingid, mitte töötavad funktsionaalsused ja disaini toimivus erinevates seadmetes, et tagada kõik toimiks õigesti. Koodi kontrollimiseks kasutame validaatoreid, veendudes, et kirjutatud kood järgib parimaid praktikaid ja kehtivaid standardeid, testime kodulehe kiirust erinevatel seadmetel ja erinevates asukohtades. Kui kõik testid on edukalt läbitud, on koduleht valmis avaldamiseks.
Kodulehe arenduse lõpp ehk avaldamine, järel- ja tugi teenuste etapp
Selles etapis avaldatakse ettevõte Koduleht. Kodulehe arendamise viimane ja kestev etapp on hooldus- ja tugi teenused. Kui Teie koduleht avaldatakse, võite edaspidi siiski vajada abi ja tuge. Ettevõtte kasvades peate võib-olla suurendama sisulehtede arvu, lisama uusi funktsionaalsusi ja kohandama disaini elemente. Regulaarselt tuleb tegeleda kodulehe uuendamise, vigade ja probleemide parandamise, kodulehe varundamise ja andmebaasi optimeerimisega. Kuna digitaalsed trendid muutuvad pidevalt, peate ka oma kodulehte hoidma ajakohasena nii kasutajakogemuse kui ka SEO osas.
