The Lifecycle of a Web Project

 

Web development involves two main stages:

Development
Deployment

 

 

Development

Most of a web developer’s time is spent in this phase.

Writing code
Designing layouts
Connecting databases
Building features.

It’s a creative and technical process that evolves as the project takes shape. 
At this stage, the project is not available to any live users.

 

 

Deployment

Once the project is finished and ready to go live,
we move to the deployment stage,
making the project accessible on the internet. 
 

 

Domain registrars

These are services where we purchase and manage domain names,
such as www.jaimedcsilva.com
Typical prices: around $10–15 per year. Popular domain registrars:

GoDaddy
Namecheap
Google Domains


 

Web hosts

These are services where we upload and run our code.
The server handles requests and serves the application to users.
Typical prices: around $5–10 per month. Popular web servers:

AWS
DigitalOcean
pythonanywhere
