Web development and design myths busted

Yes, misconception and myths shroud web development. It is indeed important to understand before any conclusions are made.

Here are some common web development myths busted

Myth: Increase the number of programmers to the project or fast completion

Honestly; this is not true. The fact of the matter is; adding more programmers to a project will definitely not make it finish faster on the contrary it may actually delay the project.

Myth: Programmers that are working for long hours are good coders

This is again another myth. Working long hours does not mean productivity. Of course it may happen that programmers may have to put some extra effort to meet deadlines however often it may be because project milestones are not clearly defined. Often there are last minute changes from the client. Even some new requirements are added midway hence programmers have to wait long hours and thus make up for the delays chasing unrealistic goals. This means putting extra effort does not always mean that the project is progressing

Myth: Only cutting edge technology can produces good software

Of course technology is important because it decides the cross platform functionality and compatibility of the application however it is not the only thing. As a matter of fact; web development is more about making the right choices and decisions with clear vision and focus. Quite ideally therefore selecting the right technology as well as the right team with the necessary  skill set is required. Moreover; having clear time estimate would lead to a well-built product.

Myth: when it comes to web design, look is more important than other aspects

Design and look is definitely important however they are not everything. In fact you may impress first time users with the design and looks but then what? Functional properties are equally important.

 Myth: Homepage design is the most important part than anything else

It’s just a myth and thus it can be safely concluded that designing the entire website consistently is more important. In fact; each of the page should have enough consistency and the functional element should also be in sync.
