Website development generally describes the somewhat technical process of writing the code and organising the infrastructure required to support a website. Often web development and web design are used interchangeably, to cover the entire process of creating a website. However there are important differences that we need to be aware of to ensure that the end result is all it can be.
Generally when a website needs to be interactive or to carry out specific functions (rather than just look nice) the quantity of development work as a percentage of the project is higher and will take precedence. Sometimes (e.g. if the website is for brand promotion only) very little development work is needed.
When developing websites for non-profit organisations we have found that there is a need to facilitate a number of interactions with website visitors, these include:
When these types of functions are required, usually development work is required.
At LCubed we have been delivering websites for non-profits since inception in 2002. Over this time we have learned much about how non-profits operate and how those operations be supported via websites and more widely the web itself.
These learnings have allowed us to identify a variety of online tools and systems that can be used during website development to reduce time, expense and risk associated with them.
Each web development project for our non-profit clients is unique, but many common themes exist. If you are about to undertake a website re-development project, please contact us to see how we can help.
