Web Development LifeCycle

The cycle of web development includes 5 phases of the development either if it is web application or any custom software. For successful and satisfactory completion of any app or website, it has to go through these essential phases and every web solution service provider must adopt them to execute the best development practices.

The lifecycle of web development includes;

Planning

Planning is the first phase of the web development lifecycle. It is important to plan first before considering any development in the process. And mostly, every web agency or web service provider has to consider this phase. It establishes the foundation of any website, custom software, and web application development.

The planning has to be made as per the goals and purpose of the project.

Analysis

The second phase includes a pure analysis of the project about what alteration or modification will be required in order to achieve the desired goal. The team will absorb and analyze the demands and then plan for the implementations.

Design & Development

Design & Development is the core phase of the web development lifecycle. Here, the designer and developer work together to build the functionality, purpose, and to improve the user interface of the website or web app.

This phase sometimes could become a little complex if any miscommunication or misunderstanding occurs between the client and the developing team. Due to its complexity and time-consuming property, extra care has to be given here.

Testing

Testing is like a revision to each and every implementation made on the project. This phase outlines the possible errors appearing in content, broken links, loading speed, responsiveness, mobile and desktop view, designing, user interface, and development. The goal of the project must be in alignment with the implemented functionalities.

The smart web agencies devote a particular role to test the development and implementations as the process is time-consuming and may eat the time for other phases.

Maintenance

When all these tasks are done, the last phase left is maintenance. Here, the website or web app turns to live. This phase hardly bothers anyone until the mentioned phases above haven’t taken seriously.

This includes future support to the client even after handing over the project. Not only a sudden occurrence or a crash of server will fall under this phase but also post support come under it.

These are the major phases of a web development lifecycle. For a successful web project, these phases should not be compromised.
