The experience of creating and developing social networks has formed the main stages of the process, which are better not to go beyond if we want the future social network to be successful, profitable and in demand. The development of a social network is fundamentally different from the development of conventional sites, because for this, technologies are used that are very different from conventional ones - for example, scale-out data storage, aggressive caching technologies, artificial intelligence required to evaluate and rank content, and much more ...

The process of developing a social network can be broken down into several main stages:

1. Writing a preliminary concept of the social network. It is important here to formulate the project paradigm, its unique value qualities, and segment the audience.

2. Market research. It is necessary to evaluate the closest competitors, their pluses and minuses, promotion channels.

3. Final approval of the concept. Based on the results of market research, studying similar projects, we are finalizing our concept, adding additional features and unique features of our upcoming project before starting to develop it.

4. Creation of mockups and design. Yes, yes, this stage follows immediately before the development of the functional part of the project, because the functionality often directly depends on the interface features of the social network. Before we start developing the main design, we will develop interface prototypes and coordinate them with you.

5. Installing Qwerty Social Network Engine. We allocate the server infrastructure and proceed with the installation of the basic software necessary for the development of a social network and its functioning.

6. Development of additional functionality in accordance with the previously agreed concept of the project. This stage, in turn, can be divided into several sub-stages, depending on the number of customizations and the complexity of the social network functionality, as well as on the logical dependence of the social network elements from each other.

7. Testing the finished project and connecting billing systems. Registration of a legal entity. Of course, a social network is a highly profitable project that should include the functionality of accepting payments (for example, for advertising, for using a marketplace or other paid options). An internal payment system is an important component of the project. At the same time, a legal entity is registered (the future operator of the project) and external payment gates are connected. At the same time, testing of all functionalities and preparation of the project for a public announcement is underway.

8. Start of the project and the beginning of the marketing phase. Our social network is ready to start. Press releases and announcements of the project for the media are being prepared, the marketing of the project is being coordinated.

Our many years of experience in creating social networks and highly loaded web projects allows us to develop successful international projects. The technologies used by X Networks in the development of social networks remain beyond the reach of their closest competitors. In particular, the powerful functionality of translating user publications into other languages of the network users, the sophisticated functionality of protecting the project from all sorts of attacks and interaction with communication service providers to prevent them, and much more ...

Undoubtedly, Qwerty Social Network Engine is a unique solution that allows you to develop social networks of any complexity.
