Steps of web site development

Step 1. Planning of the project

  1. Review project request
  2. Prioritize project request
  3. Allocate resources
  4. Form project development team

1.Review project request: In this stage we were requested to develop a website that falls on different categories like Portal, News, Informational, Business/Marketing, Blog , Wiki, Online social network, Educational, Entertainment, Advocacy, Web application, Content aggregator and Personal.

So, we as a team of five students decided to develop a website based on Educational category. Since we thought of helping other students who want to study abroad to get the same opportunity in an easy, safe and convenient way
