Phase 1: Planning & Research

Duration: 1-2 Weeks(to be adjusted)


1. Define Goals & Audience
o Target audience: Businesses needing data solutions (e.g.,
dashboards, analytics, web apps).
o Core message: Highlight expertise in data science, analytics, and
responsive development.
2. Competitor Analysis( Arthur and Xavier can be our competitors,
with active websites that we can use to compare with the tools
and services we can possibly provide. Unfortunately its mainly
webapp development. Ill look for an analytics one so that we
understand all sides)
o Study websites of competitors (e.g., data analytics firms, web dev
agencies).
o Identify gaps (e.g., lack of live demos, poor responsiveness).

3. Content Strategy(here we can start small and incorporate an agile


process where we made additions and adjustments with time)
o Pages: Home, Services, Portfolio, About, Contact.

o Services to showcase:

 Responsive Website Development


 Data Analytics & Dashboarding
 Web App Development
 Consultation
 AI integration
4. Wireframing & Design
o Use Figma/Adobe XD to design:

 Mobile-first, responsive layouts.


 Interactive sections for live demos (e.g., embedded
dashboards).
o Ensure consistent branding (colors, fonts, data-centric visuals).

Phase 2: Development Setup


Duration: 1 Week(subject to change)
1. Tech Stack Setup
o Frontend: React (Create React App or Vite) + JavaScript.
o Backend: Node.js/Express for APIs (contact forms, demo data
fetching).
o Styling: Tailwind CSS/Bootstrap for responsiveness + CSS
Grid/Flexbox.
o Version Control: Git/GitHub.

2. Project Structure

├── client/ # React frontend


│ ├── public/
│ └── src/
│ ├── components/
│ ├── pages/
│ └── assets/
└── server/ # Node.js backend
├── routes/
└── models/

Phase 3: Frontend Development


Duration: 3-4 Weeks(adjustable too)
1. Core Components
o Responsive navbar/footer.

o Hero section with animated data visualizations (e.g., D3.js/Chart.js).

2. Services Page
o Interactive Demos:

 Dashboard Demo: Embed a live React dashboard (e.g., using


Recharts/ApexCharts) that resizes with screen.
 Web App Demo: Show a mini CRUD app (e.g., task manager)
with React state management.
 Analytics Demo: Interactive chart filtering real-time data
(mock data via API).
3. Portfolio Section
o Case studies with:

 Before/after snapshots.
 Code snippets (e.g., GitHub embeds).
 Live demo links (hosted on Netlify/Vercel).
4. Contact Form
o React form with validation + integration to backend
(Node.js/Express).

Phase 4: Backend Development


Duration: 1-2 Weeks(these also take time…can be adjustable)
1. APIs
o Create endpoints for:

 Contact form submissions (Nodemailer for emails).


 Fetching mock data for dashboards (e.g., JSON datasets).
2. Database (Optional)
o MongoDB/PostgreSQL for storing client inquiries or demo data.

3. Authentication (Optional)
o JWT for client portals (if offering login-based services).

Phase 5: Integration & Testing


Duration: 1-2 Weeks
1. Connect Frontend & Backend
o Use Axios/Fetch API to link React frontend to Node.js APIs.

o Test endpoints with Postman.

2. Responsiveness Testing
o Test demos on devices (Chrome DevTools).

o Ensure dashboards adapt to screen sizes (CSS media queries).

3. Performance Optimization
o Lazy-load images/demos.

o Minify JS/CSS.

Phase 6: Deployment & Maintenance


Duration: 1 Week
1. Hosting
o Frontend: Netlify/Vercel.
o Backend: Heroku/Render.

2. CI/CD Pipeline
o Automate deployments with GitHub Actions.

3. Post-Launch
o Monitor with Google Analytics.

o Update demos/portfolio quarterly.

Tools & Libraries


 Frontend: React, D3.js, Recharts, React Bootstrap, Formik.
 Backend: Node.js, Express, MongoDB, Nodemailer.
 Testing: Jest, Cypress, Lighthouse.

Example: Live Dashboard Implementation


1. React Component:
jsx

const Dashboard = () => {


const [data, setData] = useState([]);

useEffect(() => {
// Fetch data from Node.js API
axios.get('/api/dashboard-data').then(res => setData(res.data));
}, []);

return (
<div className="responsive-grid">
<LineChart data={data} />
<BarChart data={data} />
</div>
);
};
2. Responsive Styling:
css
.responsive-grid {
display: grid;
grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fit, minmax(300px, 1fr));
}
