Development Process and Milestones

Involve your ASPA Digital contact from the beginning of the development process to ensure your web project is successful and meets all HHS standards.  Sharing the deliverables below at each phase will allow DCD to identify potential problems and keep your project moving forward.

Your liaison will work with you to make sure your site will:

  • Meet your business needs and goals
  • Meet the needs of your target audiences
  • Comply with best practices and standards for plain writing, usability, 508 compliance, and design

Use this checklist to guide your Web development efforts. All websites will be reviewed by your liaison against this document.
