Website development by HM Inside

Progress of work

The customer contacted us with a request to create a modern information portal covering the latest news of the Khmelnytsky region. The main requirement was to create a fast and convenient site that can be easily updated and scaled in the future. The customer noted the importance of adaptive design, integration with social networks, as well as ease of use for site editors.

Development stages:

1. Research and analysis
Before starting development, we analyzed the news portal market, examining the strengths and weaknesses of competitors. We identified the key audience of the site, behavioral factors and expectations from the resource. Based on this, we drew up a technical task containing clear requirements for the functionality and design of the site.

2. Prototyping and design
To ensure an intuitive user experience, we created an interactive prototype of the site, which allowed the customer to get acquainted with the structure of the resource even before the start of development. The main emphasis in the design was on the convenience of viewing content: a block structure, a clear hierarchy of headings and accent colors were used to highlight important elements. The adaptability of the site was provided with flexible networks and media queries, which allows you to comfortably view the news both from a PC and from mobile devices.

3. Development and implementation

1. The WordPress CMS was chosen for content management, which provides flexibility in filling and editing articles. We created custom page and section templates, which allows editors to quickly publish news without the need to involve developers.
2. Integration with social networks is implemented through built-in widgets and the ability to automatically distribute news on Facebook.
3. Loading speed optimization has been implemented: caching, image optimization, and code minification have been used for fast website operation.
4. Platform security is ensured using an SSL certificate, protection from DDoS attacks, and regular CMS updates.

4. Testing and Launch
Before launch, we conducted comprehensive testing of the site, including testing on various browsers and devices, loading and security testing. After successful testing, the site was officially launched, and the client was provided with instructions on how to administer it.
