How I Approach Building Projects

How I Approach Building Projects#

After completing 50+ projects, I’ve developed a workflow that works for me. Here’s how I take an idea from concept to deployment.

Phase 1: Planning#

Before writing any code, I always ask:

  • What problem are we solving?
  • Who is the target user?
  • What are the must-have features?

Phase 2: Design#

I keep designs simple but effective:

  • Clean UI/UX
  • Mobile-first approach
  • Consistent color schemes

Phase 3: Development#

My typical development flow:

Terminal window
# 1. Initialize the project
npm create vite@latest my-project
cd my-project
# 2. Install dependencies
npm install
# 3. Start coding!
npm run dev

Best Practices I Follow#

  1. Write clean, readable code
  2. Use version control (Git)
  3. Test as you build
  4. Document everything

Phase 4: Deployment#

My favorite platforms:

  • Vercel - For frontend & Next.js
  • Railway - For backends
  • Firebase - For real-time apps

Tips for Fellow Developers#

Start small, iterate fast, and don’t be afraid to break things!

Every project teaches you something new. Keep building!
