Web Development Stages: 7 Key Steps

What is a Website and What is it For?

Simply put, a website is a digital platform accessible via the internet. Depending on your goals, it can present various information, services, or products.

Main functions of a website:

  • Information sharing: Provide customers with details about your company, products, or services.

  • Sales and orders: Enable online sales through e-commerce functionality.

  • Brand image: Build a professional presence in the digital space.

  • Communication: Stay connected with your customers (forms, chatbots, contact pages, etc.).

  • Marketing: Reach a wider audience through SEO, advertising campaigns, and analytics.

In short, a well-designed website is your digital employee working 24/7.

Website Development Process with Crocusoft Experience

Building a website is not just about writing code. It’s a systematic process that involves proper planning, visual design, functionality, and technical support.
Our process consists of 7 main stages:

Information Gathering — Target, Purpose, Benefits
This stage is the foundation of the project. First, we determine:

  • The purpose of the website

  • Target audience

  • Expected benefits

  • Desired outcomes

For example, an entertainment platform targeting young people will require a completely different approach compared to a corporate B2B service website. Accurate data collection at this stage minimizes later changes and helps define the project’s budget and timeline.

Planning — Sitemap and Wireframe

Based on the collected information, the site’s sitemap is created:

  • Pages and sections are defined

  • Navigation structure is established

Then, a wireframe/mockup is prepared — a colorless prototype that shows the layout before moving into design. The goal is to clarify the design direction and placement of elements.

UI/UX Design — Appearance and User Experience
In this stage, the site takes shape:

  • UX (User Experience): Navigation ease, placement of elements

  • UI (User Interface): Color palette, fonts, images, icons, and visual style

At Crocusoft, all designs are created specifically for the project. The approved design is then passed on to the front-end stage.

Front-End — Coding the design

The design is coded using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. This stage includes:

  • Making all visual elements functional

  • Ensuring responsive design for mobile and desktop devices

  • Adding main interactive elements

If the site is only informational, the process can move to delivery after this stage. However, features like registration, e-commerce, or comments require back-end development.

Back-End — The Brain of Functionality

The back-end is the invisible part of the site that makes it work. Here we:

  • Build the optimal system architecture

  • Create a CMS so you can update content anytime

  • Integrate SEO tracking and analytics tools

  • Code interactive features such as payment, registration, and user management

Testing, Delivery, Launch

Once the site is fully functional, testing begins:

  • Reviewed by both the team and the client

  • Bugs and issues are resolved

  • The site is officially launched

Technical Support — We’re with You After Launch

At Crocusoft, we offer the first 3 months of technical support for free.
After that, any required updates or changes are delivered promptly under a mutual agreement.

Conclusion

Creating a website is not just design and coding — it’s a process that requires strategy, technical precision, and ongoing support.
A well-managed project:

  • Is completed faster

  • Stays within budget

  • Brings real value to your business

At Crocusoft, we manage this process clearly, flexibly, and professionally, turning your project into a digital success.
