Most Important things to consider while building a Web application

While building a new Web application many thing we need to consider, but there are few things which are are key for a successful web application:

Why we are building this application? This question is the first key point, answer of this question brings goal clarity and confidence within the team. If we are building application for a customer then before deciding the development strategy we need to collect and understand customer demand, or if we are going to build a generalize application product then we need to understand our targeted audience, current market scenarios, its feasibility and technical and business challenges along with requirements.

What should be our Budget? According to requirements we should be decide our estimated budget first so that every thing can be manged accordingly. It is a very important decision which need to be taken very carefully because it can affect projects financial success.

How and what we should build? It is also an important question we need to answer before starting the development. We need to consider few things as:
  • Site Structure: Site structure need to be well planned and should be simple otherwise we need to spend big money for further customization.
  • Technology selection: According to the requirement we need to take decision that which type of technology will be good for the project. We can choose open source technology available because it can reduce our budget, but if there are security concerns and development time concern then we need to go for certified and commercial technical platforms.
  • Design and interface: Today's scenario peoples plays with internet with there PCs, Laptops, Tablets and mobiles also, so now days it is required that our front end design should be responsive (adjustable according to device's dimensions) and also it should be user friendly and visually appealing in all devices. If we see that responsive design is not user friendly for small devices like mobiles then we need to create mobile version of application too.
SEO (Search engine optimization): It is required that user can find your website easily, hence it is required that website will be recognized in various search engines like Google, Bing, Yahoo etc. A good SEO can bring website in top list in search engines.

What are the Contents? Contents can be pictures, Videos and well-written words show your product and brand personality. It is an important step to load good contents it should not be overlooked. Good contents keeps users on your site and bad contents and make them away.

Is it Secure? Our application should be secure, mainly if there are financial transactions are involve then it should be highly secured. Otherwise it can be a big panic for you along with the users as well.
