Web Development Phases The first thing you must do is determine the objectives for the site you are creating and how you will go about accomplishing those objectives. Vision statements should contain values and goals for your upcoming Web site. The objectives will be your vision and you must determine the strategy you will use to accomplish these objectives. This process is known as conceptualization. The second phase is preparing how transactions will be done, how users will navigate throughout your site and the order or hierarchy of the content on your site. This process is known as design visualization. The look and feel of your site will be determined based on what users need from your site. The functionality of the site will be built based upon what you determine that customers need to obtain from your site. Once this has been determined you can then begin to build the functionality required to fulfill the needs of your customers. This approach is called the "bottom-up approach." In a project analysis you will determine who you need on your team to accomplish the desired goal and value. Three Generations of Web Sites *
