UNIT-1

2. Planning Process
Planning a website can take a lot of time and effort. The more time that is taken during the first
few steps of planning, the less you will have to do in the long run. Planning is perhaps the
single most important phase of our seven-phase process. This is because the more accurately
we plan out your project, the less time will need to be spent on the rest of phases. There is an
old proverb: measure twice, cut once, and this applies to web development too. A well-planned
project makes for an efficient, cost-effective project.
