Development Process
From the first discussion to launch: we define the structure, agree on the visual direction, and build a working interface. These stages show how I organize work on a custom website.
01. Introduction & Individual Brief
We start by getting to know your project: its goals, audience, requirements, and preferences. These discussions form the basis of an individual brief.
We define the tasks, required functionality, and scope of work. This gives us a shared understanding of the result before moving on to the website structure.
02. Structure & Logic
At this stage, the logic of the future website takes shape:
- the list of pages is defined;
- the sequence of blocks is planned;
- a convenient user journey is mapped out;
- the placement of key elements is determined.
The main goal is to make the site not just attractive, but also clear, convenient, and logical for the visitor.
03. Project Materials
Before development begins, we gather all the materials the project needs. This helps get started faster and build a website that matches your expectations.
- texts (if available);
- photos, images, or other visual content;
- logo and brand identity (if any);
- examples of websites you like;
- additional information about the company, services, or products.
04. Visual Concept
I develop the visual direction of the website: colors, typography, and the styling of key interface elements, drawing on your goals, preferences, and references.
I may use AI to create a preliminary visualization of the idea. This sketch helps us agree on the overall direction. Interface details are refined during development, taking the content, functionality, and different screen sizes into account.
05. Interface Development
Once the structure and visual direction are agreed, I build the interface using HTML, SCSS, and JavaScript.
This includes responsive markup, animations, interactive elements, and any functionality the project requires.
06. Device Checks
The website is checked and optimized for various devices and modern browsers:
- smartphones;
- tablets;
- laptops;
- large monitors.
Responsiveness is built in from the development stage, not added on after the project is finished.
07. Testing & Review
Before publishing, the project undergoes a comprehensive review:
- correct display;
- forms and links working properly;
- loading speed;
- consistency with the agreed structure and visual direction.
After reviewing it, you can provide a list of revisions within the agreed scope of work, after which the project is prepared for publishing.
08. Website Publishing
Once development is complete, the website is deployed to your chosen hosting and connected to your domain name.
If you haven't chosen a domain or hosting yet, I'll help you pick a suitable option and provide recommendations. Before publishing, basic SEO setup is performed: meta tags, page titles, favicon, Open Graph, and other parameters needed for the site to display and get indexed correctly.
09. Project Handover
Once the work is complete, you receive:
- a link to the finished website;
- the project's source files (if agreed upon in advance).
Further development, new changes, code-related training, or project support are not included in the development cost and are handled separately, by agreement. If needed, you can reach out to me or any other specialist.
