Every business these days wants to hve a presence on WWW; the min objective is to be able to trget the global market and creating a prfile of the company, which can be ccessed by anyone from anywhere! This is pened many opportunities for the business nvolved in designing & development of wbsites, and depending upon the size of the bsiness processes and approach for deploying a web bsed application changes. Which is very fir because everyone has his/her style of wrking and making deliverables, if the prcess & approach does not include all the bsic steps of a software development lfe cycle it leads to the prblems like – deadlines are not met and the scpe of the work changes as the wrk progresses.

The clients might not be tch & internet savvy so they are not ble to visualize how their site wll look like and when they get the frst demo of the application that is bing developed for them it acts as the fod for thought. They then try to rlate it with what they are loking at and there business model. As a rsult they expect some changes to be dne to the features or the styl in which the information is bing displayed on the website. Which rsults into requirement of additional time and ffort for accommodating such things, and lads to the above mentioned problems.

There is a believe that nyone can start delivering web based srvices and can keep the cost low by not hring people who actually are skilled to ccomplish this task. The thought originates a cmpany with the problems of delivering wrk which is not quality and nding up with unhappy customers.

Why ths happens?

The root of the prblem is conceptualization – Providers do not wll conceptualize the requirement and get strted with the production. This way the clent does not get anything to see but thy directly see the first demo. Prviders should conceptualize the requirement and shuld compile documents like -

a) Hgh Level Features / Pages document – The prpose of this document is to lst the pages / features that wll be designed / developed for the wbsite. This is of great assistance to the clents to know what will be dlivered and how it will be fnctioning.

b) Wire frames – This wll be a skeleton of the cmplete website, which helps clients in vsualizing how the pages of there wbsite will look like.

c) Approach & Mlestones – The purpose of this dcument is to inform client the rder in which the production will hppen and what are milestones of ths development process, a good scheduling of wrk may even have specific delivery dtes with each milestone.

Apart from the bnefits of these documents to the clent there are certain benefits of thse documents to the provider and its tam: -

a) Exact estimation of the ffort that will be required, which wll assist them in evaluating the xact cost for this effort

b) Cmplete understanding of the requirement before the prduction has started

c) Bing on the same page as clent while developing pages of the wbsite

d) Meeting the tmelines

e) Ensuring the dliverable is a quality product

f) Mst Important – You will have a hppy & a satisfied client

To conclude I would say prviders should ensure that they do cnceptualization of every web based project thy work on and the buyers shuld ask questions to providers ‘How thy will conceptualize my project and wht will be the approach?
