Website Builders - Spring Digital

The basics

Website builders face challenges on any project they undertake. From simple biography-style pages to complex, multi-page e-commerce sites, website builders require an in-depth understanding of how to deliver their clients the best package for their needs.

Website builders must understand their clients' objectives. Key considerations for website builders are:

* what the client wants and expects from their site * what platform the site will be built on * what technologies are needed to construct the site * what kind of timelines are involved * how design, content and information can be best employed to achieve a client's objectives

Website builders - putting people together

For website builders to work effectively on a project, clear roles need to be established. Website builders working in a small team (or an individual site builder) may need to take on several roles, such as designer, developer and information architect.

Generally, website builders working on multiple professional projects are drawn together as part of an agency. An agency will have teams working together on projects - often divided into design, content, information architecture, project management and development.

Website builders - site under construction

Good project planning is crucial in any kind of build, whether workmen are repairing a road or website builders are constructing a site.

Setting down milestones for the build, ensuring space for dealing with challenges and setting a realistic delivery date allow website builders to work confidently. The construction phase is critical. Just as a poorly built house will let in rain and eventually fall down, a poorly built website will not satisfy its users expectations and lose (or not attract) visitors.
