Kevin KrögerWebentwicklungPublished on 2026-03-17

Every successful web project starts with good planning. Without clear requirements, a solid technology decision, and a realistic timeline, many projects fail. This guide walks you through all phases of web project planning.

Phase 1: Requirements Analysis

Business Requirements: Primary goal, target audience, KPIs, integrations needed. Technical Requirements: Expected traffic, Core Web Vitals, accessibility, SEO, security. Content Requirements: Existing content, new content needed, responsibilities. A good briefing saves weeks of development time.

Phase 2: Technology Selection

Frontend: Next.js recommended, Tailwind CSS, TypeScript. Backend: Node.js with API design, database, headless CMS. Infrastructure: Hosting, CI/CD, monitoring. At AXIS/PORT., we advise technology-neutrally.

Phase 3: Timeline and Budget

Typical timelines: Landing page 2-4 weeks, corporate website 6-12 weeks, e-commerce 12-20 weeks, web app 16-40 weeks. Budget ranges: Landing page 3,000-8,000 EUR, corporate website 15,000-40,000 EUR, web app 50,000-250,000 EUR. Important: Plan 20% buffer, work iteratively (MVP first), regular milestones for feedback.

Phase 4: Development and QA

Agile Development: 2-week sprints, regular demos, retrospectives. Quality Assurance: Automated tests, code reviews, security testing, performance tests. Go-Live: Relaunch checklist, staging tests, rollback plan, analytics. At AXIS/PORT., we use proven agile methods and automated quality assurance.
