How we work
01
Receiving Your Inquiry
During our call, we want you to feel comfortable sharing every idea and consideration that led you to conceive the project. No detail is too small at this stage. We'll ask questions to ensure we capture your full vision. Receiving proper insight early on helps lay the foundation for a successful collaboration.
02
Exploring Your Vision
We ask about your specific objectives, pain points, target audiences, and desired outcomes. It's also helpful for us to understand any timeline pressures or budget constraints. Feel free to bring visual aids, as seeing renderings or mockups can aid explanation. Our goal is to absorb as clear an understanding as possible before moving ahead.
03
Planning and Preparation
With your goals now clear, our team gets to researching. We study factors like market conditions, technological requirements, project scoping, and regulatory needs. This due diligence informs timelines and identifies potential risks to preempt. It's also a chance to tap our network for expert perspectives if a specialty is required. Compiling these insights helps us craft a comprehensive plan tailored for success.
04
Agreeing on a Budget
No project launches without defining costs. We'll estimate expenses like development, design, hosting and support. Transparency is key, so we'll explain each line item. But numbers are just a starting point. Collaboration and compromise allow properly balancing feasibility, timelines and quality. Revisions are welcome if anything feels misaligned with your priorities. Together, we'll find an equitable solution.
05
Getting ready for launch
As launch approaches, we'll help get everything all prepped and polished. That means testing, guides for your team, suggested marketing materials - anything to set you up for success on your big day!
06
Evaluating Requirements
Once budgets and contracts are set, it's time to outline technical specifications in detail. Working through desired features, integrations, workflows and more ensures a shared understanding from the start. As experts, we'll also propose optimized approaches or suggest cautious alternatives when needed. The goal at this point is having documented requirements to guide building the right solution.
07
Continued Communication
Even after launch, we see partnerships as ongoing. Changes often arise, so we remain available as long-term advisors. Whether adjustments, improvements or new projects, maintaining an open line invites further collaboration down the road. Our experience also allows supporting optimizations that expand capabilities or help scale over the lifetime of what was created.
08
POC Analysis
With requirements set, we may create a basic "proof of concept" (POC) to demonstrate feasibility. This Prototype tests key functions and flows before full development. Your evaluation lets refine designs or recommit resources efficiently. POCs remove uncertainties that could otherwise cause costly revisions late in the process.
09
PRODUCT ANALYSIS
As project scoping is refined, a product analysis examines all variables affecting the solution’s viability and success factors. Reviews cover items like the target user, tech capabilities, market competitors and maintenance needs. This crucial process helps prioritize efforts to satisfy requirements while achieving high usability, adoption and return on investment.
10
ui/ux development
Designs lay the foundation for superior user experiences. We'll invite you to participate in reviews as multiple concepts are sketched, wired and iterated. Your input ensures interface and interaction patterns will intuitively support the ways end-users need to achieve their goals through the product. Several rounds of refinement optimize ease, efficiency and delight.
11
development plan audit
Based on estimates, we formally present timelines, dependencies and the overall development plan. This stage allows evaluating obligations to determine if goals remain aligned as factors change. Constructive discussion helps reach agreement while considering unforeseen circumstances to future proof approaches.
12
mvp development
It's now time for coding! We get to work building out the minimum viable product (MVP) based on agreed specifications. Regular demos track progress against the roadmap while allowing course corrections. The MVP proves core benefits to end-users and sets the stage for future capabilities.
13
qa and devops
Quality assurance testing identifies bugs to fix before launch. Meanwhile, preparations are made to deploy the product via the chosen hosting, distribution and maintenance strategies. Successful rollout depends on robust, scalable and secure infrastructure. Post-launch support ensures a smooth transition to end-user adoption and feedback.
