Hiring a web design outsourcing company is just the start of your web development project. People consider this as if this is all that they have to do as if it was a wand that would take away all their digital troubles instantaneously.
In reality however it's totally on the contrary. Having clarity on your requirements and awareness of every element that is supposed to be a part of your web project is important for a seamless experience.
Knowing your project
It is important to know as much as you can about your project. If it's just going to be a brochure website, a blog, forum or a Web 2.0 application with features that you would want to be replicated from an existing project or an entirely new concept and an idea that is required to be custom developed.
Knowing about your project enables you to better explain your projects features to your web developer which helps them in analyzing the project evaluating an optimum development strategy for it.
Identifying the technology
Once your project's features have been carefully laid down and documented your next round is to determine the optimum technology that should be used to develop your project. Usually for web projects there are three variables, interim, that needs to be considered:
1. Front End / User Interface / Client side
2. Back End / Content Management System (CMS)
3. Database (if/when required)
User Interface / Front End / Client side
The best way to go would be to have the front end of your website as responsive using the latest technologies of HTML, CSS3 and Bootstrap so it renders with pixel perfect quality across all device types and is cross browser compatible. With over 61% of visitors accessing the web using their mobile phones, it's good to have your website optimized for different mobile devices.
Backend / Content Management System / Server side
This is what runs your website or web application. If your website is just a blog or a brochure website you can get it integrated with a Content Management System like Wordpress that let's you manage your website's content and publish it as per your requirements. For e-commerce websites development you have a choice of selecting a simple but powerful CMS like Opencart or Magento if you require extensive features and functionality.
For more complex and custom projects requires a custom back end application, content management system and an admin panel to administer and manage your web application's core features and functionality. This can be developed using a wide range of programming languages like ASP.NET, Ruby on Rails, PHP and its associated frameworks like CakePHP, Zend, Yii, Codeigniter, Kohana etc. depending upon your requirements, preferences, core features and functionality.
Java Server Pages (JSP) is the preferred choice for large scale and complex enterprise applications due to it's inherent performance capabilities where as node.js and it's stacks are actively being used to develop event driven real-time web applications.
Database Management System
There is a huge choice of databases, commercial and opensource, available to you. MySQL is what everyone goes about and it somewhat suits 95% of the web development projects, however as your web application gets more complex, data / user / content intensive it will require a high performance database.
