10. Final Production
Yeah baby! This is the final "Look, see? It
works!" You'll clean up the code from the Working
Production, sharpen up design elements, turn JPEGs
into GIFs and vice versa, and ensure that your
final output is as standards-compliant as
possible. You'll also write a list of the current
weaknesses in the system which need to be
addressed before you can release the system:
things like removing useless code, ensuring there
are no server memory leaks, etc.
11. Testing & Final Approval
The word of the day is "hammer". Get tonnes of
people to use your site and make sure they enjoy
it. Take their comments into consideration, but
unless they are extreme, don't rush out and do a
redesign -- just tweak the site where necessary.
This is also the stage in which you nail down your
final codebase, make the code modular so you can
reuse it later, and give each other bruises from
too much patting on the back.
