How to be more organized in web development.

Oops, we used the word “organized” in the title. Time to switch off — is probably what many would think. Being organized is a somewhat dull, though important, subject. Perhaps it would help to give it a bit of context.

Let’s keep it classy, and imagine we’re building a website for a trendy restaurant / café called “bEat”, catering to the arts community. It’s an atmospheric place with 1920’s art on its interior brick walls, live jazz, and rich patrons. But they don’t have a great website, so they’ve called you in to save the day. As a talented designer, you’re confident you’ll be able to pull a fantastic design together that they’ll love, but they’ve got a lot of clever ideas about the website’s functionality, and you’re not quite so confident about how to organize all the files that your website will need.
