The following is a guide for building a new website.

STEP 1- Discovery

The first phase involves determining the scope of the project, the timeline and scheduling parameters, everyone's expectations, and your current human and technical resources.

STEP 2- Concept & Planning

The next step is to determine site requirements, business goals, types of functionality, site features, and a timeline and due date. You'll need to determine who your site audience is, the demographics and psychographics of your visitors.

In this phase the architecture or organization of the information that will be included on the site needs to be planned as well. The most important part of this step is determining your goals for the site. You need to ask yourself and any other stake holders exactly what the new site ought to yield when completed. What do you expect the site to do? What do you want to get out of it? What messages do you want to convey to all the people who will eventually view it? What are the priorities of the site in terms of your business and making money? What types of people will be using the site and what will they want to accomplish while there?

STEP 3 - Design Specifications

This is when the look & feel and a visual design specification are created. Here you'll determine the fonts, colors and size and layouts, always trying to keep consistency paramount. You'll want to write specifications for the images you'll be using on the site as well. It's also the time to decide upon and design the technical infrastructure and architecture of the site, server, environment and platform. You'll determine what programming languages and databases will be used, if any, and any other technical features your site will need.

One of the secondary benefits of following Step 3 is that you'll have a document to refer back to later on when adding to the site. If you hire a new Web person of company, you can give them this design specification document for them to follow whenever they work on your site

STEP 4 - Production

Before this phase begins, everyone who is involved in this project, including people who give the final 'ok', need to know that there will be a technical and look and feel design freeze at this point. If any changes are needed during this point, then those changes will be done in the next redesign.

The production phase can be broken down into three areas and will include:

STEP 4a - The Design Production

The artistic look and feel design production, usability designing, the navigation production, and image and button creation. The homepage of the site and the inner page template both need the new design applied to them. The homepage design may use the same template the rest of the site uses, or it may be unique. If it differs from the rest of the site, then make sure its look and feel is very similar to the look and feel of the inner page template(s). Also, if it differs, consider applying this entire step-by-step guide to the homepage as well, treating it as a separate, but related entity.

STEP 4b - The technical Production

This entails the html coding, any other coding to contribute to the functionality and the configuration of the server's environment. The technical aspects could also include any server side coding in a major programming language, database design and development, and site security measures.

STEP 4c - The Marketing Production

This area includes creating the homepage and pre-determined inner pages to be search engine and index friendly. It also includes the copy writing for every page. Any mechanisms for interacting with the visitors will be produced here. For example, forms on your site that asks users to give information are ways for a user to interact with your site. Although the look & feel of the form falls under 'design', and the actual mechanisms that make the form work falls under 'technology', the purpose of the forms will be very marketing-centric. What you ask, how you store the data, and how you retrieve it and use it later are all marketing issues that should be addressed in this step.

STEP 5 - Testing

The produced site now must be loaded onto a staging area that is exactly like the production environment, or made accessible to testers only. During this phase, various people will test all aspects of site, including functionality, spelling and grammar, hyperlinks, and all other elements. This is often called the Quality Assurance phase.

STEP 6 - Publishing

This phase is the push of the new site from staging to production. Here the site is made live and is now on the World Wide Web. led the Quality Assurance phase.
