Development
Once the design is in place, what we need to do next is to proceed to the development stage. The latter includes both front-end and back-end work.
What’s done, specifically: Front-end development: Writing the visual part of the website in a programming language i.e., (HTML, CSS, JavaScript).
Front-end development: Writing the visual part of the website in a programming language like (HTML, CSS, JavaScript).
Back-end development (if applicable): Storing data in the databases and doing server-side coding as well as the use of APIs (Example , PHP, Node.js, etc.)
CMS setup (if using WordPress or another platform): A necessary part of planning is selecting the themes, installing the plugins, and developing the functionality that is tailored to the specific site.
Responsive design: Checking the site design to ensure it fits different devices like smartphones, tablets, and computers.
Time Factors: This is the lengthiest phase as it requires the clerical work and the development of all features. A simple information website can take 3-4 weeks while an e-commerce site or a custom web app may take 6-8 weeks or more.
