- 4. CREATE A TIMELINE • Carefully establish a timeline based on all that stuff • Document your timeline/tasks • For clients, always tell them longer than you think
- 5. WIREFRAMING & MOCKUPS • Know what the final result will look like • Create wireframes or mockups using PS, Sketch, etc • What components will go where? • Send for approval
- 6. START CODING (FINALLY!) • Use everything we have talked about as a guide • Setup your dev environment • Research other projects that are similar • Set up a Git repo with branches • Everyone has their own workflow
- 7. COMMUNICATE • Keep in communication with the client/manager/team • Make sure your on the same page • Project management software may be a good idea • Get feedback
- 8. TESTING • Be thorough with your testing • Test on multiple platforms/OS/browsers • After deployment, test more…
