Building our first (in-house) web start-up
I thought a great way to get this blog started would be a series of posts about building a web start-up from concept to launch. The team has recently begun this process for our first in-house venture, JustRosters.com, and I feel our experiences in all aspects of the project are most useful when shared.
I want to keep the guide short and fast, much like the concept to launch cycle. I will try to specify costs and hours where possible and keep the plugs for our web development services down to a minimum
At this stage, I plan to document our experience in 8 parts that consists of:
- Part 1 – Brainstorming and research.
- Part 2 – Sketches and feature refinement.
- Part 3 – Setting up the project.
- Part 4 – Building the HTML mock-ups and design.
- Part 5 – Writing the code and testing.
- Part 6 – Building the front-end website.
- Part 7 – Launch!
- Part 8 – Post launch results.
We are already up to stage 4 of the launch cycle, so I will try and write the first few parts from memory ASAP.
Disclaimer: While I have every confidence in our ability to build and launch an awesome, user friendly web application; I cannot profess to being a veteran at selecting the right business idea/model just yet
But hey, you got to be in it to win it!
