Methodology

The Web Information Systems Development Methodology (WISDM) is an ISD methodology, developed by Richard Vidgen, David Avison, Bob Wood and Trevor Wood-Harper (Vidgen 2002). This method adapted the traditional system development methods, web development technology and the hypermedia development methodology.[2] Hypermedia is a mix of rich texts, graphics, audio and video, and uses hyperlink to link to other pages and sections of an application. The main framework of WISDM is extracted from Multitier. Multitier is a methodology with user participative approach that includes many stakeholders like developers who are responsible for developing the Job Portal and users who are using the Job Portal. Therefore, Multitier focuses on both the human and technical aspects of Information System. The framework of the WISDM that helps in the development of a Web-based Information Systems considers two aspects: one relating to the organizations, people and technology; the other relating to the analysis and design. The WISDM mainly focuses on Organizational analysis, Information analysis, Technical design, Human computer interaction and Work design.[5] There is no prior ordering of the five aspects of the said method. Each method has been emphasized alone during the project development. Multitier frame work methodology of WISDM.
