Just like website design, the development of web applications is seldom simple. In both, web design and application development, thorough planning is crucial in determining the success of the project. Unlike short scenarios used in website design and development, web application development involves several processes of coding. The application development project should undergo the process of planning to the same extent as in web design.
In the absence of proper planning, there can be several factors that may threaten the success of your web application development process. Thus, to minimise the risk of project failure, you need to follow the below discussed steps:
1. Identify the objectives of the project and have a vision: The first step in planning the application development process is to identify the purpose and objectives of the application. Through clear interaction with your clients can help you in identifying and understanding the purpose of the development process. Be it web design or any other process, the reason behind its development has to be ascertained. Moreover, having a vision about how the final product would look like also helps you in the long term. The vision would help in giving the developer the right direction towards application development.
2. Create a functional specification and project plan: The specifications regarding the application development must be organised by means of a map or blueprint so that you have a standard to match up to with your final product. The blueprint should be created with respect to the vision and helps in ascertaining how the finished web application will look like and what would be the user experiences. Once the functional specification is created, the actual planning process begins. The project plan basically involves the timeline of the tasks and events that will take place during the course of the project.
3. Bring the application model into play: Once the project plan has been created, it is important to choose the application model that is crucial in determining the success of the real application. In this stage you need to implement the data and business objectives into scripting and programming language. You also need to choose the scripting and programming language so that it can handle all in the functional specifications. Some examples of scripting languages used in application development include ASP, XML, PHP, JSP and CGI.
4. Develop a support scheme: A support scheme is also crucial in order to have a fool proof web application. In this stage, you need to plan all the possible failures and unfavourable outcomes because of certain scenarios. Create a support system that can be put into use in case of emergency or downtime.
For a business to achieve online success and enhance user experience, the company must invest in proper planning in website design and web application development and establish a strong online presence. Once you have the framework, you can develop the web application in a much better manner and at a higher success rate.
