web development process

These are the standard phases in the development of a new website. Your input and feedback is integral to each phase of the project.

1. Initial Consultation — Discuss goals, site scope and target audience.
2. Wireframe — A low-tech outline of website structure, illustrating site sections, page hierarchy, and a navigational plan that anticipates future growth in site.
3. Site Mock-up — Beginning with online mock-up of home-page only, develop layout, colour-scheme, "look & feel" for site. Mock-up includes developing any necessary graphical elements.
4. Content Development — Client develops site content; mousetrap web development provides recommendations on how to streamline content for online delivery.
5. Build Site — Apply design and structural designs from Wireframe and Mock-up phases to a development version of full-scale site. Convert all content into web format.
6. Test Site — Validate site code against current W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) standards, ensuring site meets accessibility requirements.
7. Go Live — Configure host server & domain name; optimize site for search engines.
