Development Process

A Detailed Look At What Goes Into My Websites

Speed

Users crave speed. I deliver that through rigorous testing, highly optimized code, and image compression.

Responsive

My website designs work well on any screen and device, whether big, small, or Tamagotchi!


Modern

People desire more than bland pesto. They want fun, easy to navigate, awesome sauce, that I deliver.

Secure

Over a decade of experience in making scammers squirm, my websites are Pentagon level safe.


Initial Concepts

The journey begins with a spark of creativity. I sketch, brainstorm, and dream up what could be, visualizing how users will interact with the site. It's here that I lay the groundwork for something that's not just functional but genuinely innovative.


First Drafts & Database Design

Once the vision is clear, I dive into creating drafts and mock-ups, including the database structure. This phase is crucial for aligning the backend logic with the front-end experience, ensuring that the foundation is solid and scalable.


Building Out the Majority of Pages

With the blueprint in hand, I start coding, bringing the site to life. Here, I'm not just building; I'm experimenting and pushing the boundaries of what's possible with vanilla HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Every page is crafted with an eye for detail and user engagement.


Ensuring Clean URLs and Security

I believe in a secure web. That's why I ensure clean, SEO-friendly URLs from the start and implement robust security measures like HTTPS, secure headers, and input validation to protect both the site and its users.


Performance Optimization

Performance is my passion. I compress images, minify code, and optimize every asset to ensure your site loads swiftly. This not only improves user experience but also boosts search engine rankings.


Social Media Integration & SEO

At this stage, I focus on how your site will appear when shared across platforms. I set up custom social media thumbnails, meta descriptions, and ensure that your SEO is spot-on, making your site not just visible but shareable.


Responsive Design & Compatibility Checks

I test across a spectrum of devices and browsers, ensuring your site is a pleasure to use regardless of how users access it. Responsive design isn't just about fitting on screens; it's about delivering a consistent experience.


Accessibility Checks

I run your site through accessibility tools like WAVE and Lighthouse, ensuring it's inclusive for all users. This step is about making sure everyone, regardless of ability, can enjoy what we've created together.


Continuous Testing

I utilize a plethora of testing tools to push our site towards perfection. This isn't just about fixing what's broken; it's about enhancing what's working, making sure every interaction is intuitive and delightful.


Bug Fixing and Data Integration

With the site behaving as intended, I focus on the details. Bugs are noted and addressed, and the remaining data is integrated. This meticulous approach ensures we're not just launching; we're launching something exceptional.


Post-Launch Monitoring

Once live, I don't just walk away. I use Google Analytics and performance monitoring tools to keep an eye on the site, ensuring it continues to perform at its best and making adjustments based on real user data.


Documentation for Future Maintenance

I document my work, especially the unique solutions I've implemented. This ensures that the site can be maintained or expanded upon by anyone in the future, keeping your investment safeguarded.


Legal Compliance & Data Protection

I ensure your site complies with legal requirements like GDPR or CCPA, where applicable, providing peace of mind in an era where data privacy is paramount.


Backup and Disaster Recovery

I set up robust backup solutions and disaster recovery plans, because in the digital world, being prepared means being professional.
