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.
