Website Design, Redesign, Development & Management
Onswaziline Investments will manage the whole process from designing an appropriate website, to developing the website to updating & maintaining a live website.
There are various stages of developing a fully functional website :
- Conceptualisation is the process of thinking about the website, its purpose and the target audience (website users/visitors).A crucial part of the website development process is establishing the Target Market. The target market is primarily the people the organisation is trying to reach through the internet.
- Domain name registration is the process of identifying an appropriate domain name (website name) and then buying the rights to use that name.
- Design and development is the process of creating the website and its features including text, images and other.
- Website host identification - is the process of finding where the website will be hosted (stored). There are several factors to consider:
- the size of the website (MB)
- the amount of traffic you anticipate
- the location of your website users/visitors (target audience).
- Uploading is the process of actually storing the website data in the location (webhost server) that people will be able to access via the internet when they visit the website.
- Live website update and management - is the process of managing the website when it is 'up and running', This process is very important because updating the content and keeping the content relevant and interesting to the target audience is crucial in keeping the audience interested.
- Webstats analysis is the process of analysing the amount of traffic coming from and going to your website, where (geographically) people are browsing your website from, how long they stay on the website, which pages are most viewed; using which browsers, search phrases they have used to get to your website and so on. This provides cheap market research.
