Stage 2 :: Project Specification

This covers each and every item needed for the website including web server hosting, site plans, web applications, licences and bespoke coding to name but a few.

Also at this stage, timescales and a target launch date are planned and calculated. Accurate planning at this early stage can very often highlight a potential problem weeks or months in advance. You know what they say about failing to plan...

For larger projects a timescale plan is produced, sent to you and updated regularly. This lists all tasks of the project with time, some with milestones and each with a deadline.

It's also worth mentioning that your tasks and resource requirements are included on this plan. For the website to launch on schedule and to budget, we will need key items from you - images perhaps, pdf documents etc. This will take your resources and inclusions of your resource requirements which will assist with your own planning.

Good project planning is undertaken for one key reason - to work to deliver your project on time and on budget in an open and transparent way.

Site Plans

One or more site plans will be created for your website before any programming or designing is undertaken.

A site plan outlines the structure of the website, or sections of it, in a quick and easy to follow format. Items likely to be displayed on the site-plan are:

» Homepage
» Main Navigation
» Sub Pages
» Database interactivity
» Secure, password protected areas

Site plans will be submitted to you for approval and amended as necessary before progressing.

Now that we have a good idea of the website structure, navigation elements, etc. we can move on to the next stage.
