What the terms of reference for website development looks like<\/h2>\n\n

This is a detailed document<\/strong> that gives an idea of what the site will do<\/strong>. Basically, TORs consist of phrases that tell us what to do. In this case, the TOR for the site describes only the primary level of quality of the solution to the task<\/strong> at hand. The finished client (website) should not just meet the TOR, but also be user-friendly. UX design is responsible for this.<\/p>\n\n

Why the TOR for the creation of the site is developed<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

The main purpose of writing the terms of reference for the development of the site – to minimize the difference <\/strong>between the representations of the project in the imagination of the customer and the performers. The more detailed the TOR, the more likely you are to get exactly what you expect. Terms of reference writing – 1-2 days.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

You will not have to compose the TOR for the site yourself. We’ll take care of it ourselves and put together a tech. task based on your wishes and expectations<\/strong> from the functionality of the site.\"Terms<\/p>\n\n

Who draws up the terms of reference for the creation of the site?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

The specification must be prepared by the customer<\/strong>. And this is logical, since only he knows what his project is and what results to expect from it. When the company-customer does not cope with composing the TOR for the site, it can be helped by the performer, both for a fee and on a free basis.<\/p>\n\n

It is common practice among customers to transfer the technical task for<\/strong> the development of the site to another firm. In this case, the technical documentation of another contractor is used as a basis for the project.<\/p>\n\n

Writing the terms of reference for website development: main sections<\/h2>\n\n

General information about the project<\/h3>\n\n

This section explains what the site will be about<\/strong>, what its target audience is, and gives an idea of their needs.<\/p>\n\n

Operational purpose of the site<\/h3>\n\n

Helps in determining the main goals and objectives of <\/strong>the resource, in other words, answers the question: what problems can the site solve.<\/p>\n\n

Functional purpose<\/h3>\n\n

The section that deals with the technical capabilities of<\/strong> the resource, namely:<\/p>\n\n

    \n
  • Availability of adaptive or need to develop a separate mobile app.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Cross-browserability of the site, that is, its correct display on the oldest browsers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • CMS, or website management system, such as 1C-Bitrix or WordPress.\"HowSite structure<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

    Here are the basic requirements for the arrangement of elements<\/strong> in the hierarchy of the site. The modules and the logic of interaction between them are described.<\/p>\n\n

    Through elements<\/h3>\n\n

    It is about the constructions present on every page of the resource, they include:<\/p>\n\n

      \n
    • A header<\/strong>, i.e. a block on the website containing the company logo, navigation and contacts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • The footer<\/strong> is the part at the bottom of the page that usually duplicates the header information.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Sidebars<\/strong>, or sidebars<\/strong> in the form of vertical blocks with widgets. For example, a sidebar is a panel in an online store where filters and categories are placed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Pop-up elements<\/strong> that appear on the page, for example, when you perform some targeted action.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

      Unique pages<\/h3>\n\n

      Unique pages are templates<\/strong> from which subsequent pages will be created. The development of each such layout should be clearly outlined in the ToR for the designer and programmers.<\/p>\n\n

      \"Development<\/figure>\n\n

      Examples of unique page descriptions:<\/p>\n\n

        \n
      • The news should consist of a header, footer, title blocks, images, date, text and comments.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • The page in the catalog includes a header, footer, side filter, list of products and promotions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

        Other pages<\/h3>\n\n

        Many people forget about this type of pages and do not prescribe them in the terms of reference for the site. We recommend paying attention to these pages, though, as their functionality is necessary for any good website.<\/p>\n\n

          \n
        • The typical text page<\/strong>will be the basis for developing new pages that are different from the unique pages. It is better at the prototyping stage to put in it all the necessary design: text headings, paragraphs, lists, images, videos and so on.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Error pages<\/strong> were seen by every internet user when the site refused to work. If you think back to a similar page on Google, you’ll realize that creative design can attract new audiences and retain a loyal audience.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Search page<\/strong>. The convenience of the organization of the search engine and output results significantly affect the conversion rate of the resource.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Registration pages<\/strong> should be user-friendly, concise and not annoying for site visitors.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

          General points<\/h3>\n\n

          Each ToR also includes a description of a number of organizational issues such as:<\/p>\n\n

            \n
          • site security requirements;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • hosting requirements;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • content format;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Control and delivery procedures. Terms of reference for the development of an online store, corporate website or corporate resource necessarily includes the procedure for monitoring the implementation<\/strong>, mechanisms for determining the compliance of the result with the stated requirements and terms of completion of the project.\"Составление<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

            What gives the terms of reference for the creation of the site to the customer?<\/h2>\n\n

            Let’s list the main advantages of TOR for the customer:<\/h3>\n\n
              \n
            • The TOR protects the <\/strong> customer<\/strong>‘s side. If unscrupulous performers take on the development, the ToR may be the main argument for the poor quality of the agreed services.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • The TOR structures the concepts<\/strong>. Every third customer turns to developers without a clear plan and vision of the future project. The Terms of Reference clarifies and structures all input information to produce the desired result.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • TK keeps the finances<\/strong> in place. Properly drafted TOR will protect the customer from problems and additional costs in the creation of the site.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

              What gives the terms of reference for the development of the site to the performer?<\/h2>\n\n

              Correct specification is especially important for the developer at the stage of agreeing on the project details. A good TOR will clarify the tasks and goals of the project to the contractor, as well as save their time and morale.<\/p>\n\n

                \n
              • The specification protects the developer’s side<\/strong>. If a situation arises where the customer requires something that was not originally indicated, you can always refer to the documents.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • The tech briefing instructs<\/strong>. A clear description of all requirements for the design of the site or its functionality will speed up the creation of the resource and reduce the number of questions from the participants.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
                \"Writing<\/figure>\n\n

                To compose the terms of reference for a website you need:<\/h2>\n\n
                  \n
                • clearly articulate the design objective<\/strong>;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                • Describe the goals of the site<\/strong> with a list of functionalities;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                • divide the work into stages<\/strong> and specify deadlines for completing the tasks;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                • establish a procedure for control<\/strong> and acceptance of works.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

                  Are there TORs for website design?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

                  The development of technical specifications for the creation of the site because technical, because it describes the functional aspects of the work of the site. In design development, sketches of the website are created and then different layouts are rendered. For this purpose, we collect different references that will help you better understand in what style the work should be done.<\/p>\n\n

                  Can everything be taken into account when creating the TOR for a website?<\/h2>\n\n

                  No, that’s impossible. A website development specification should simply describe the project well<\/strong>. Therefore, we provide 1 month of support to make edits.<\/p>\n\n
