Each project has different requirements but in general our process is:
1) Consultation
We will discuss your project requirements with you and we might raise additional ideas for the project that you may not have considered yet. After agreeing what features you want, we will create a proposal document showing our proposed solution along with an quotation of the costs involved and expected project duration.

2) Agreement
Once both parties are happy with the proposal and costs we will draw up an agreement of services (this will protect both sides) and start the project.

3) Plan the work
We will produce an appropriate technical foundation document (wireframes, site map, functional spec, etc) and a project plan with milestones set out and agreed upon.

4) Work the plan
If it’s a web based solution we will create 3 different site template styles for your site. You pick which style you think is best and we make any required tweaks. Meanwhile, the project team will have been implementing the technical features as outlined in the technical foundation document created in the previous phase. We work in iterations as like to show you our progress at regular intervals for your feedback.

5) Test
The solution is tested both for functional and non-functional requirements (performance testing). Once we believe that the solution is ready for you to test and approve we give you access to a secure test version of your site. During this test phase you can raise issues using our transparent web based issue tracking tool.

8) Support
In the unlikely event that you find any coding errors with the site once it is live we will fix them free of charge. Should you require any further enhancements once the site is live, however big or small, we can carry out this work for you.
