This stage is the executive stage in the construction of the site and its main purpose is to set up the site in a practical way using the preliminary work we did in the previous chapters. The process of building the website system and the website itself often happens behind the scenes when at the end of the process - the website planning, the content on the website and the graphic design come together into a functional website that works, talks and looks exactly as we intended.
How to begin?
As mentioned, this stage mostly happens behind the scenes when in the end - assuming we have carried out the preliminary planning in an in-depth and accurate manner, according to the details in the previous chapters - your exact website will come to life!
In this chapter we will detail all the significant elements that will affect the programming and construction of your website:
Let's get started?
The establishment of the infrastructure and the website system
Following on from the previous chapters where we built the site map at the concept level and in detail, its visibility and the way we expect it to work, this is the stage where the programmer builds the site step by step, In accordance with the detailed plan we created in the previous chapters, taking into account the functional, visual and textual elements that will actually be put on the website system exactly as we planned.
At this stage it is very important that the planning of the website is perfect and complete including all the important elements,
And it is also worth using references that can illustrate well the general form in which the site is expressed.
Designing banners or sliders
After we have built the visual language, we can design the visual tools on the site accordingly. There are many options for displaying images, graphics and visual content on the website, and this is exactly the time when we will choose the most appropriate options for our website by considering the two previous chapters and the current chapter: We will refer to the structure of the website which we prepared in the first chapter, in combination with the texts and content which we prepared in the second chapter andaccording to the visual language which we built right now - we will be able to choose in the most precise way the visual tools we will present on the site.
HEADER and FOOTER programming
Directly following the previous step, this is the step where the programmer defines the head and tail of your site.
The HEADER and FOOTER are actually the basis of a successful website - the first and last thing that customers and search engine crawlers see.
When you define and program the HEADER and FOOTER in a good and correct way,
We promise that:
- The search engines will see the site as a reliable and valuable site for the search terms relevant to you
- Your customers will be impressed and know exactly what to do - both when they enter the site and when they leave it.
אמנם מדובר בשוליים ולא ב'עיקר', אבל תכנון טוב של הראש והזנב של האתר שלך מאפשר לך להשאיר את הרושם הנכון בצורה הטובה ביותר.
The HEADER Will usually include your logo and site menu. You can also incorporate a quote or image according to the structure and design of the site, but it is important to keep this part of the site narrow and focused, so that it does not take up too much of the screen.
The footer Will usually include a link to the pages the customer specifically wants to find - policy, deliveries, regulations.
You should also include a place for collecting leads in this section, where customers can fill in their details just before they leave the site.
Programming the home page, categories and internal pages
At this stage the programmer will define and express the planning, design and text.
During this phase, the client will receive the website several times to confirm the design and functional direction,
and to confirm the progress.
At this stage, you should make sure that you can reach each page in several ways:
through the menu,
through buttons from the home page,
Through links in different locations on the site.
Development of unique components
At this stage, the programmer defines and programs customized functionality that aims to best serve the purpose of your specific website - both in terms of the branding language and in terms of the actions we want the customer to perform on the site.
Example components to consider:
- Shop and payments
- leads and collecting forms
- Forum and message systems between subscribers
- Automation module for a certain process
- Directories and search/filter/sort options
- Customer portal
- Questions answers and submission forms
- Advanced questionnaires and calculators
- Blog / Articles
- Visualizations and working with layers
- צ'אט ואפשרויות דיוור לקוחות
- Advanced dashboards and control panels
- more and more…
Special components for example for commercial websites:
- Complex coupon systems
- UPSELL / CROSS-SELL deal expansion
- Members club and counting points
- Special offers (buy something get something)
- Connection to advanced payment mechanisms
- Connection to invoice module
- Connection to inventory and orders module
- Advanced shipping module
- Advanced product variations and options
- Customer and sales process automations
Add-on programming and forms
In accordance with the purpose for which we gathered and built the site, which we defined in the first chapter, the programmer will create customized forms and use various and diverse plugins in order to allow the customer to perform the requested action in the easiest way possible.
This step basically defines the relationship between you and the surfer, and allows us to define different ways that will make the communication with the customer personal and productive.
And what am I doing in the meantime?
After working extremely hard in all the previous episodes, the episode definitely allows you to rest a little - but it's still important to be attentive and focused.
During the different stages, you will receive the site to confirm the progress to the next stages and experience your opinion.
If you give the programmer an orderly and accurate plan,
It is important to trust the programmer to do his job in the best way according to the goals and the detailed planning you created.
we recommend:
- Keep the passwords you receive at this stage in an orderly place, you will need them later.
- Stay available and try to keep in constant contact so that the work gets done consistently.
- If there is something you want to change, it is important to comment accurately and on time to avoid double work and frustration.
This is definitely one of the most exciting stages in the website creation process,
This is the stage where your website goes from idea to reality!
