Best Practices for Custom Web Development

  • Proper Planning Prevents Poor Performance – It is really important to properly spec out your custom programming project. The details matter. Make sure you clearly discuss all functionality requirements with your web developer upfront to avoid surprises.
  • Identify the Framework that will be used to Build Your Application – IDP is a team of LAMP developers (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP). We like to develop custom websites using the WordPress framework. When we are building custom functionality on a project we have to decide if we will utilize WordPress plugins or custom program features utilizing PHP and Javascript.
  • Weekly Meetings with your Web Development Team – Complicated custom programming requires a lot of communication and planning with the client. The client needs to be involved in the project weekly in order to succeed. Identify functionality requirements early. Identify challenges and find solutions.
  • Rigorous Quality Assurance and Testing – There is no such thing as too much testing. Web developers need to test their work. Project managers need to test web developers work. The client team needs to test the work. It is a true team effort to develop, build and launch a custom website project.
  • GIT Code Repository – Custom PHP and Javascript programming needs to be organized and maintained in a code respository. Make sure your web developers create a code repository for your project. Developers should be checking in their changes to a repo. The code repository helps document and organize the code, it is a backup of the source code and allows a team of developers to work together.
