In designing and developing web and e-business applications we use two approaches: use of available commercial models and platforms (Ariba, Siebel, Commerce One, I2, etc.) and use of proprietary home grown technologies. In both the approaches there is substantial amount of interface development, customization, programming and systems integration involved. Selection of method depends on available development and turn-around time, budget, scalability, and future evolution plan. Almost all developments for B2B, B2C, Portal, Auction, or Community sites involve some kind of database design, and development, whether it's a commercial database package or a simple flat file.

Design Methodology We follow a systematic and step-by-step methodology for all our Internet and Web software development. In our development methodology we first follow our clients' defined processes and methods, and then incorporate our own internal process steps where ever they are appropriate, with clients' approval. In absence of clients' defined methodologies, we present a draft of methodology to be followed in a project and get approval from our clients. The main objectives of following a methodology is to make the development cycle as efficient as possible, to complete development within lowest possible cost keeping the highest quality, and to achieve the fastest turn-around. Another important objective is to make future maintenance easier and faster. The development cycle for each and every project is some way unique, depending on clients' requirements and their unique operating environment. Design and development methodology also varies depending on the software, hardware technologies chosen by clients.

Web Development Methodologies
	Discussion & analysis: Objective/ goal analysis, preliminary discussion - E-commerce/ Web-site strategy/ situation analysis, firming up strategy
	Technology, software evaluation
	Cost analysis for development, operations, maintenance
	Design initial layout/ features/ capabilities, prototype, relevant contents
	Design iteration - complete several rounds of revisions/ reviews/ refinements
	Define final design, layout and features
	Develop/implement web site (graphics, back-end software, content, integration with 3rd party/external software)
	User testing, functionality testing, performance testing, acceptance testing
	Client sign-off
	Final launch
	Development Elements
