The success of a website can be measured in different ways. It can be implemented in stages or can be achieved with the attainment of goals.
What is important is that goals, or the intended results are set in advance and are clearly defined at the beginning of your project. Planning is the key to successfully completing a website on time and on budget.
There are many different methodologies, what works for one person may not yield the same results with another. But following a plan will almost always yield better results. The success of a web based project can only be determined when it can be measured. This then allows for a website to be reviewed and improved.
By defining the scope of a project, setting goals and determining how success will be measured you have a far better chance of achievement.
