Abstract
The main goal of Web application design is to facilitate the understanding of the solution that is going to be developed (i.e., the Web application), as opposed to the understanding of the users and the context in which the solution is deployed, which is addressed by requirements engineering. Web application design can be regarded as the set of activities that refine the abstractions identified during requirements analysis with the aim of specifying the organization of the application data, navigation, presentation, and architecture.
Note that not necessarily all the requirements need to be collected and analyzed before the design starts. In case of incomplete requirements, the development cycle can proceed by addressing those requirements that are already well understood. The uncovered requirements will be elaborated in follow-up iterations.
