In this episode of Domainvestors.tv I discuss the development process I follow for building full-scale websites. While I have discussed mini-site development previously on my blog it is important to understand the time and energy that goes-into developing a full-scale website on a domain.
I recently purchased Translate.co.in through Bido.com and will be developing this domain as a translation service and resource for India.
When I embark on a new development project I like to make-sure I have a solid plan of when I plan to finish the site and how much time I expect the development process to take. It is absolutely essential that you set goals and deadlines if you really want to finish a project.
The main components of this development project are:
- Adding the translation interface to the site. For this I will be using the Google Translate API and AJAX.
- Writing the content. I plan to offer roughly ten articles on the site that I will write myself. I use the Google Adwords Keyword tool to determine which keywords related to “translate” are the most popular. This will help me provide content that people are looking for.
- Designing the headers, logos, etc.
- Writing the HTML, CSS, and PHP code for the site.
I will continue to include my readers in this development project and show you the site as it evolves.

Do you do the website design yourself?
Thanks for the question Alex. Yes – I do all of my own web design, content writing, PHP scripting, etc. The only thing I do contract out from time-to-time is Logo design as I'm not much of an artist!
I look forward to seeing the final website!
Thanks Jeff!
