Site and Application Features
I plan, most of times develop and implement each new feature for the application and the website. The application features are easier to plan, as I bind features and new versions, releasing them from time to time. But the website is kind of harder. When to make a new design? Or to rewrite sections of the site?
The Abassis website does not have a schedule of features. Sometimes I browse the website and think up new content. Or when I visit other websites of other applications, I find some feature that could fit well on our own site. How and when I implement these changes depend on what the feature needs and what our website supports. As an example, I liked the idea of a forum for our users. Our host provider had an easy setup of forum, so I was able to implement this feature within a few hours.
New features of the application must appear on the website, but they are two separated entities, an one of my responsabilities is to decide which features will be added to each one, and how much time to invest on each feature.
