Editing Web development (section)

=== Design and layout ===
Following the analysis phase, the development process moves on to the [[Web design|design]] phase, which is guided by the objectives document. Recognizing the incremental growth of websites and the potential lack of good design architecture, the methodology includes iteration to account for changes and additions over the life of the site. The design phase, which is divided into [[Information design|Information Design]] and [[Graphic design|Graphic Design]], results in a detailed Design Document that details the structure of the website, [[Data structure|database data structures]], and [[Common Gateway Interface|CGI]] scripts.*

The following step, design testing, focuses on early, low-cost testing to identify inconsistencies or flaws in the design. This entails comparing the website's design to the goals and objectives outlined in the first three steps. Phases One and Two involve an iterative loop in which objectives in the Objectives Document are revisited to ensure alignment with the design. Any objectives that are removed are added to the Wish List for future consideration.<ref name="Howcroft-2000" />

Key aspects in this step are:
* [[Page layout]]s
* Review
* Approval
