Website planning and development

Website design incorporates various different skills and disciplines in the production and maintenance of the sites. Web site planning and development is a broad term for the work involved in planning and developing a site for the internet or an intranet.

Web development can range from developing the simplest static single page of plain text to the most complex web-based internet applications, businesses running electronically and services related to the social network.

For larger organizations and businesses, web development teams consist of hundreds of people and follow some standardized methods such as agile methodologies while developing a website. In smaller organizations, there is no need for such a big team. Only an individual that can work permanently or as a contractual developer is required by such organizations.

Web site planning and development can be split into many areas, and the typical basic web development hierarchy consists of:

• Client-side coding.
• Server-side coding.
• Database technology.

Following are some coding languages which fall under the aforesaid hierarchy divisions.

Client-side coding:

• Asynchronous JavaScript provides new methods of using JavaScript and other languages to improve the user experience.
• JavaScript is a ubiquitous client-side platform for creating and delivering rich web applications that can also run across a wide variety of devices.

Server-side coding:

• ASP.Net MVC Frameworks.
• Java Servlets, JSP or Web Objects.
• Groovy using the Grails Framework.
• Lotus Domino.

Database Technology:

• Apache derby.
• FileMaker.
• Firebird.
• Hadoop.
• IBM DB2.
• Mark Logic.

Practical aspects of web site planning and development:

• Basics:

  In practice, many developers of websites will perform necessary interdisciplinary skills or roles including graphics or web designing and information architecture and copywriting with web accessibility. Moreover, these can be extended by including all client side and server side coding. The client-side coding covers the aspects of layout and design, and the server-side coding covers the website’s functionality and the back-end system.

• Testing:

  Organizations that create websites typically contain a test site where a new website is tested to make sure that everything works correctly before it goes live on WWW i.e. World Wide Web.

Security:

Security considerations are the most eminent part that need to be taken into account. There are many such factors namely, data entry error checking through forms, filtering results, and encryption.

Keeping a web server safe from foreign intrusion is often called Server Port Hardening. Nowadays, there have been discovered many technologies due to which information remain safe when it is transmitted from one location to another on internet.
