Commissioning

A commissioning, in the context of web design, refers to the set of activities required to make a web site accessible and functional for users. It involves preparing the site for deployment, configuring it on the hosting server and making it operational.

Here are the main steps generally included in the commissioning of a website:

1. Server configuration: This involves preparing the hosting server by installing the required software, such as the web server (Apache, Nginx), the programming language (PHP, Python, etc.) and the database (MySQL, PostgreSQL, etc.).

2. File Transfer: Website files, including HTML, CSS, JavaScript, images and other resources, are transferred to the hosting server.

3. Domain configuration: If the website has a custom domain name, it is necessary to configure the DNS records to point to the hosting server. This will link the domain name to the website.

4. Database configuration: If the website uses a database, it must be configured on the hosting server. This involves creating the database, tables and users with the appropriate permissions.

5. Testing and debugging: Once the files and database are configured, tests are performed to ensure that the website is functioning properly. This includes checking links, forms, functionality and overall site performance.

6. Performance Optimization: Optimization measures are taken to improve website performance, such as caching, file compression, database query optimization, etc.
