Our approach

We use web technology to further our clients’ goals.

We select suitable technology for each application. Our depth of experience allows us to align our processes with your culture and project. Here is our modified waterfall process for a straightforward web application.

STRATEGY

The starting point for any engagement is to understand your needs, both immediate and longer term. Depending on the scope, a casual conversation may be enough to get clarity, but we’re well-prepared to develop a business plan to justify a technology investment, if desired.

DISCOVERY

During the project kick-off meeting, we will establish the success criteria and a mutually-agreeable methodology. We have proven skills ranging from agile to waterfall methodologies.

REQUIREMENTS

Next, we will next elicit the functional and non-functional requirements, which play a large part in determining the optimal technical solution and project scope. We’re also skilled in iterative development, when appropriate.

DESIGN

Once we have a solid understanding of the project scope and user needs, our team of designers start with a sitemap, wireframing and creating mockups. In this phase, we focus on the aesthetic and usability aspects of the design, ensuring that it aligns with your brand and user expectations.

DEVELOPMENT

Our team of developers take the requirements and mockups and convert them into a functional website. Throughout the process, we perform quality assurance, then present the work regularly for your input. We provide you with access to a copy of the site to review and interact with. Content creation is undertaken in parallel and added to the work in progress.

USER ACCEPTANCE

Once the site is complete, we ask you to undertake a thorough review with your stakeholders. We remain on hand to make any additions or revisions you request. Upon receiving sign off, we make the site available on the internet.

SUPPORT

A successful website is never complete. After the website has been launched, we’re more than happy to provide ongoing maintenance and support, from ensuring the site remains functioning as intended, to participating in ongoing development.
