Many website projects fail because of the failure to plan the website design as a Project and at the end of it all, the website project neither meets its objectives nor solves the intended problem of the organization.

What then is a Project?

A Project as defined by the Association of Project Management is a unique, transient endeavor, undertaken to achieve planned objectives, which could be defined in terms of outputs, outcomes or benefits. A project is usually deemed to be a success if it achieves the objectives according to their acceptance criteria, within an agreed timescale and budget. Time, cost and quality are the building blocks of every project. (APM, 2022)
