Have you ever considered how the words on a website appear to be there? Who put them there and how does it work? Well, in this blog, we are discussing website website development and each step.
Website development involves several steps and processes for creating a functional and visually appealing website. Here are some of Hand Up WebDev’s key components of website development:
- Planning
This involves defining the website’s purpose, target audience, and goals. It also includes creating a sitemap, wireframes, and prototypes. - Design
This involves creating the visual design of the website, including selecting colors, typography, images, and other graphics. This stage also includes creating a user interface (UI) and user experience (UX) design. - Content Creation
This involves developing the content that will be published on the website, such as text, images, and videos. - Development
