Me and my friend started working together as partners , we have decided to make Kick-as* website after website.
We have the ideas written down like 100’s of them (yes we are choosing best and easy among them first).

My friend does the layout design and arranging things , and my part is coding and server management.

The little problem i am facing is lack of experience in planing a project. What i do is, I just start the code straight away and along with code I make DB, like when i need a table i make it.

I know this is very bad approach for a medium sized project.

Here at stackoverflow i saw lots of experienced coders. Need to learn a lot from you guys 🙂 .

So can you plese help me on how to plan a project and what coding standard/structure/frameworks to be used (I do PHP code).

Thanks in advance.

    Start by defining the scope. Write a paragraph to a page and try to describe your website. A top-down approach would be to start thinking of functionality you’d like to implement and refining it by adding more detail.

    A top-down approach (is also known as step-wise design) is essentially the breaking down of a system to gain insight into its compositional sub-systems. In a top-down approach an overview of the system is first formulated, specifying but not detailing any first-level subsystems. Each subsystem is then refined in yet greater detail, sometimes in many additional subsystem levels, until the entire specification is reduced to base elements. A top-down model is often specified with the assistance of “black boxes”, these make it easier to manipulate. However, black boxes may fail to elucidate elementary mechanisms or be detailed enough to realistically validate the model.

    There are many other approaches, however.

    Again, the most important step is to be able to put your idea in words; before you can adequately do that, I wouldn’t even consider starting to write one line of code.
