“Websites are built for changes” : Architecture helps us manage
the change better.

Costs vs Time
● Requirements changes
● Technologies Upgrades →
Increasing Complexity
● Costs of change increases over
time
It helps cutting costs and
complexity

Productivity vs Coupling

Principles of Package Design

Principles of Package Design
● Cohesion ?
○ Reuse-Release
○ Common-Reuse
○ Common-Closure
● Coupling ?
○ Acyclic-Dependencies
○ Stable-Dependencies
○ Stable-Abstraction

Habitat
Habitat is a Sitecore solution
example built on a modular
architecture. The architecture and
methodology focuses on:
● Simplicity
● Flexibility
● Extensibility
Habitat 67, or simply Habitat, is a model community and housing complex
in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, designed by Israeli/Canadian architect
Moshe Safdie. Each apartment has a unique design. Each window has a
unique view.
