Coding Your Idea

Taking the design and bringing it to life is the responsibility of the developer.

The attributes that make a developer great are: technical knowledge, exceptional troubleshooting skill, attention to detail, a strong sense of logical process, as well as organizing the code for future considerations.

The Process of Web Development

  • Define requirements.
  • Build a skeleton of the website.
  • Add functionality.
  • Fill in the pieces.

Defining the Requirements

The developer takes into consideration the set objectives and the design in order to choose which languages and techniques need to be incorporated in order to construct the website. For instance, if a complex relational database is needed to facilitate the user base of the website, then the developer will chose to use a programming language with a solid library of database functions. Otherwise, if no special functionality is required, the developer will chose to build the site only using basic XHTML and CSS. Defining the requirements is setting the parameters of which the site is to be built within.

Creating the Skeleton

Upon defining the requirements, the developer will use the design and build the elements that are consistent throughout the website. These elements typically include the header and the footer of the page, as well as the shell for the menus. Our developers construct the sites based on XHTML transitional and use appropriate CSS techniques.

Adding the Muscle

With the template in place, the developer will then construct the complex elements of the site. This could include a blog, gallery, form validation or any other aspect that requires conditional code.

Filling in the Pieces

The final step is for the developer to test and ensure that the website works as expected in all of the different available web browsers.
