Definition of Good Web Design

We are surrounded by shapes and scapes that stipulate the assimilation of good design and architecture that in turn make up the desired output – based on the need and wants created by the crave of the word called ‘DEMAND’.

So are your software needs too!

A good software design is one that incorporates the latest, but proven technology. It possesses,

* a scalable structure

* facilitates easy integration with other systems, and

*is flexible to allow incorporating changes in requirements.

If the design is suited on par with an older technology, then the system might turn out obsolete within a very short time-frame!

For example, using mainframe technology on balance with other state-of-the-art technologies is not appropriate. Similarly if the design team thinks of employing some new unproven technology, then it could be a great risk that the application after development may become obsolete as soon as the new technology fails.

Businesses are always expanding, and any system deployed should also scale up to the extent that the ‘never compromising’ needs of the customer are incorporated in the application when they arise in the future.

Nowadays, there are too many legacy systems applied to fulfill business needs of different sorts within the customer’s location, as well as the core application that requires integration with the customer’s suppliers, contractors, third parties, and so on.

Ultimately, the application should easily integrate with these myriad of systems.

“Change is the essence of development” and so do requirements keep changing very often. The design you desire should be flexible enough to take care of these changes within the portal of ‘requirements’.
