Standards of Website Application Development
The internet is a vital part of society and business in today's world.
Businesses and consumers are commonly using the internet for everyday tasks
including shopping, financial services, research, and day-to-day
operations. For a business to develop a successful website application that
will meet the needs of its customers and employees, while remaining
profitable, there are certain criteria that must be met.
A successful
website will exhibit the following standards:
* Present a professional and reputable appearance
* Simplicity, with ease of navigation and use
* Accessible regardless of browser platform or device
* Utilize secure, reliable and open-source technologies
Whether starting from scratch, or re-designing an existing website or
website application, it is important to discuss how the above standards may
or may not impact your website application and online business. Each
company should develop a website application that compliments the company's
employees skills while benefitting the customers. As online business grows,
the website should be able to accommodate future improvements with simple
programming from a reputable development firm.
Presentation
A successful website will have a welcoming appeal that appears to be
professionally laid out and maintained. The visitor will receive a sense of
safety and security in knowing this is a professional website that is safe
to browse without fear of malicious intent. The site should present itself
as crisp, clean and easy on the eyes. Text should be well-written and
optimized for both customers and search engines alike.
Accessibility
Above all else, a website must be accessible and functional. Special
requirements that require users to download special software should be
avoided. Users browse the internet from many locations on various
platforms. Therefore, the website should be easily accessed whether the
user is on high-speed, dial-up, Wi-Fi or on a cellular phone or palm
hand-held computer. Graphics should be optimized for quick and easy loading
on any browser platform.
Simplicity
Simplicity and easy of navigation and use are important for user
interaction. The website navigation should clearly direct users as to where
to find information within three clicks or less. As well, the navigation
should not move but remain stationary. The overall goal of the website
should be to make the user experience as easy and painless as possible. A
user should not have to search for the main navigation, nor should they
have to guess how to use website features. Any day-to-day employee
maintenance or operations should be easily accomplished without
professional programming assistance.
Technology
The technology used to build a website application should be secure,
reliable and based on popular open-source specifications. The most widely
accepted technologies for building website applications today are FreeBSD, Apache, MySQL, and PHP. These tools provide the highest quality solutions
available in terms of security, usability, expandability, and do not
require additional licensing fees. Those familiar with Coldfusion,
Microsoft ASP and .Net are familiar with the high-cost associated with
updates and licensing.
