maintainable, and rapid applications.
➢ Define project scope: Determine the boundaries and limitations of the project to
establish clear goals and deliverables.
➢ Develop a visual style guide: Establish a consistent design language that will be
applied throughout the application.
➢ Design the user interface: Create the layout and visual design of the application,
ensuring that it is user-friendly and intuitive.
3. Information Architecture:

components or modules.
➢ Integration testing: Test the interaction between different modules to ensure they
work together seamlessly.
➢ User acceptance testing: Involve end users to evaluate the application's usability,
identify bugs, and gather feedback for improvements.

to protect the application from potential threats.
9. Scalability:
➢ Cache frequently accessed data: Cache frequently accessed data to reduce the
load on the database.
11. Documentation:
➢ Analyse and optimize code: Identify areas where the application can be
optimized for better performance, such as reducing database queries, optimizing
algorithms, and improving caching strategies.
➢ Optimize assets: Minify and compress CSS and JavaScript files, optimize image
sizes, and leverage browser caching to reduce page load times.
➢ Implement security best practices: Follow secure coding practices, such as input
validation, output encoding, and protection against common security threats like
SQL injection and cross-site scripting (XSS).
➢ Gather user feedback: Solicit user feedback through surveys, feedback forms, and
user testing to understand their needs and identify areas for improvement.
