Towards a new method for the development of Web-based applications

We present a method for the development of Web-based applications within small-size Internet companies, working in Web site and e-commerce developments. We comment on the current trend of development, its drawbacks, and then propose the method to improve the quality of such practice. This method turns out to be very convenient and helpful. A simple case study is provided to illustrate this method. In this case study we used a simple yet powerful Definitional Specification Language (DSL) to formalize the requirements. An overview of DSL is given.
