Introduction

When a client approaches us asking for a website, we make sure to prove to them that they have made the correct decision. We have a strategy in place to develop websites for the clients that are branded & suitable for their specific niche. Ensuring that every step along the development journey, starting with defining the website purpose, passing through the design & development stages from the sitemap to the launch, using the best testing methods along the way.

Web development is an art as it is a science.

Let us walk you through the web development journey.

The Development Process

01.

Website Purpose Discovery

We start with listening to our client to identify the three main pillars:

 

  • The purpose of the website
  • The goals it’s built to achieve
  • The Target audience it aims to attract

 

This initial step is not taken for conceptualization purposes only. It is actually a crucial step to determine the software & coding languages to be used, and to avoid any extra cost or resources that might occur along the way.

Creating The Sitemap

Then we move on to creating an optimized website architecture.

Building the sitemap is like drawing a blueprint for the planned website, using the needed types of XML to cover the types of content which will fill your website. This is essential to make it easy for future visitors to navigate the website and equally important to make crawling & indexing your website content smoother for search engines.

This is of prime importance, because it falls also under the Search Engine Optimization process. So, we make sure that we create a sitemap with well-linked pages, and this is as important as the content quality on the pages themselves.

We make sure when your website’s sitemap is submitted to Google, that we check the feedback report so the needed enhancements get made, and detected errors get fixed.

If the client’s website is a huge project with a lot of pages & subpages, we divide the load to still make the site SEO & browsing friendly, breaking up the sitemap into several smaller sitemap.

The clearer the XML sitemap is, the more organized the HTML sitemap is going to be for the users.

Creating The Wireframe

If the client needs to have a preview on how his/her website will look like. We prepare a mockup for him/her, creating a wireframe to visually depict the user interface to be built.

This kind of sketching provides a full representation with no design elements and no coding, to save time & achieve client satisfaction. We use front-end languages like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to perform this task, producing information, navigation & interface designs that are able to give the client a clear skeletal portrayal of the website he is looking forward to.

During this stage, our client is able to see what can be called the skeleton of his website. And it is all about what will happen on the pages, not how they would look like. So, the client can review the functionality of the webpages, the placing of the elements and the relationship between them from the navigation & content prioritization side.

UI/UX Design

We have the deep knowledge on how to create a user experience that is both aesthetically & functionally pleasing. Our goal all throughout the development stages is to ultimately create a user experience that is visually attractive on one hand, and practically responsive on the other.

UI Design

Then we initiate the UI design stage, by creating your website layout, which is the pattern that illustrates the site structure & content hierarchy as it begins to take shape, and manifests the functionality of the website. This includes colors, logos, menus, images, animations, banners, videos & text, whether they are the exact final content or just placeholders.

In this phase, we utilize all the information gathered in the discovery, sitemap & wireframe stages, with the future website visitors in mind regarding website visuals & utility.

At this stage, you as a client will begin to see what was imagined & communicated starting to materialize into a “User Interface”, with more room for review, feedback & alterations. We will not stop until you as our client is satisfied with what you see.

To reach this point, our in-house team of web designers, web developers & graphic designers collaborate to create & assemble the visual layers following the approved wireframe created earlier.

UX Design

Our focus during this stage is on the user experience. We make it our goal to create an organized, efficient, relevant, consistent and engaging experience for the future website visitors.

Our UX Designers get laser-focused on how to make the users feel at ease, have a good impression while carrying out the tasks they are performing on the website.

From the users’ point of view, they are not dealing with a website, they perceive it as dealing with a company. This is why it is vital to make every interaction the user has with the company’s web portal to be top-notch. And this is exactly what our web development approach ensures.

It is important for us to make the client feel good about the website, as it is when it comes to the experience of the future users of the website, and we do not stop until we achieve this goal.

Design Testing

We do more than just giving the design for the client to test & review. We follow the most effective testing methods:

Hallway Usability Testing

Development View
This is where we assign professional developers to whom we share links to the website pages, where they can detect almost all the design & usability coding problems so we resolve them promptly. We provide the participating developers with a preview of the pages where all the details are available upon click on any of the elements included on each webpage.

Design view
This view is provided to our client, with no developer coding complications, so they can preview the design and usability interface of the webpages of their website. Our clients at this stage can see a full preview of the pages, so they can visually test the feel & look of what the future users will be experiencing

Unmoderated Remote Usability Testing

To ensure that we did not miss any errors or interface functionality issues during the hallway moderated testing phase, we add yet another layer of testing.

This is where we ask either professional developers or interested participants from the client side to perform specific tasks on the website, then ask for their review and measure the satisfaction level about the interface and operability of the pages.

Content Writing

Now here comes the suitable time for us to provide our client with the content that is going to fill the pages of his fresh website. After all, he/she is building a website to communicate to potential visitors through, and that part we also provide Our in-house content writers are going to be always ready to receive briefs, research the market, study the client’s services & products to create well-formed relative content that is informative & SEO/NLP friendly for the website pages to have the full potential to rank highly on Search engines.

Development

Now that we have created the visuals of the client’s website, it’s time for some coding. We implement the most professional Frameworks & Content Management Systems that suits the nature of the website, to make sure that the installation is managed fluently by the server.

Our web developers start turning all the previously created layout is coded into functional existence to eventually be tested and reviewed by the client. And our family of coders have the needed knowledge to build into existence all the proper features, including special requests made by our valued client.

Front End

Using the most updated technologies like HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript & jQuery, we develop the most convenient interfaces for the client’s websites, that match their niche market and the nature & purpose of the website.

Our web developers utilize the best tools & techniques to ensure that the final product, would achieve the performance goals. As our goal is for the final website to render & load quickly for the users, maintaining the same goal in our development process, which is ensuring that it is time-saving.

Keeping accessibility as one of the priorities, we make sure that we create a responsive web design benefiting from the incorporation of stylesheets in CSS.

Eventually, we ensure that we give the client a website that is ready for seamless browsing on all types of desktops, mobile devices, smart phones, tablets, and also suitable for all web browsing software.

Back End

If your website is a stage, then back-end development is the tool that develops of what is happening backstage. Our Back-End programmers take full control & responsibility of the coding of that backstage. They take care of things we bet the client is not so keen on touching. Things like servers, libraries, applications, data architecture, databases & everything in between.

Rest assured that our web developers have the needed skills, when they take the helm using the most advanced frameworks such as Laravel, Codeigniter, Django & ASP.NET and others, writing in languages like Python, PHP, C# & Java, our web development team is capable to code your website to perfection.

CMS

Solid coding is as important for SEO & search engine ranking potential as the content of the website pages. We make sure to use the proper CMS technologies during this phase, such as WordPress, WooCommerce, Magento, Drupal, Joomla, Shopify & OpenCart.

But adhering to our extra mile approach, we use Custom CMS Solutions exclusively built for your company. Giving our clients a platform tailored to suit their specific needs. And this is where we and our cherished clients get full control of the workflow including interface, functions, design & updates.

Code-Based Testing

Any website has to be entirely checked & tested before it can be launched for the online users.

And that is exactly what we do, after code development works are done, we move on to the code inspection phase. And we make sure to perform this task to the teeth, following the proper methods of structural & static testing, as well as testing the code complexity, checking for any potential bugs that might exist.

Using the relevant testing tools like PHP Unit, Unit Testing Class to assert that all the databases of the website’s coded functions are working properly, ensuring the integrity of the data by checking if all the database queries are accurately executed, and that retrieval & update of data in done successfully & correctly.

Final Review

After checking the approved website through two stages of testing, we still go the extra mile for more assurance for the client.

So, after we use the file transfer protocol to upload the website and all of its components to the server, we put the website through yet another final test.

And if everything looks & works fine, this means it is time for the big moment.
