Development of the forum website

The purpose of creating a forum site

Do you think that the forum website cannot generate income? Using the example of our case, we can convince you of the opposite in a few minutes! We received a request to create a forum site about cooking. Before starting work, we set ourselves the following goals:

Add a convenient sorting of topics, as well as implement a site search so that the user can quickly find the answer to his question.
In addition to the discussions themselves, place a list of recipes and a dictionary of terms on the site.
Add the ability to share themes and recipes on various social networks.

The reason for going online: Cookbooks are outdated for a long time, and mom will not tell you anything more interesting than the recipe for borscht. The Internet is a great way to share your culinary experience and get new ideas from others. And we can teach you how to monetize your web portal if you order website promotion from us!

The structure of the forum site

Such a site should be simple and understandable for any user to easily attract his attention and encourage communication. While working on the structure, we decided that the site would consist of such pages:

Main.
Recipes.
Dictionary.
Rules.
Frequently asked questions.
Search.

Must-have functions

Recipes.

A page with a list of recipes for various dishes that are added by the site administration or ordinary users.

Dictionary.

A list of culinary terms with definitions. Made to help visitors better understand the recipes.

Rules for using the forum.

Here are described such prohibitions of the forum as: spam, obscene language, posting adult materials and so on.

Rating of topics.

Each registered user can rate the topic, from one to five stars. It serves as an additional filtering of useless messages posted by forum participants.

Reposts.

The ability to share topics and comments on social networks has been added.

Frequently asked questions.

A section with answers to questions from site visitors.

Stages of development of the forum site

Technical task

First of all, we establish maximum contact with the client in order to draw up a thorough technical task for which work will be carried out.

Work on the appearance.

Designers make a detailed layout of the site with a well-thought-out structure and functionality.

Writing code.

The layouts are transferred to the layout designers, who transfer it to a digital form.

Moderation and content management.

In order to avoid difficulties when further editing information on the site, we are implementing a CMS system.

Production and optimization of texts.

In order for the site not to be empty, it is necessary to fill it with basic content, which is what our copywriters do.

Conducting tests and transferring to hosting.

In order to eliminate all possible shortcomings, we test the functionality of the site, after which we pour it into the hosting with a calm soul.
