Web site development

We start our process by learning about your needs. We have to know the goals you are trying to accomplish so we can develop an effective customised solution for you. You can think of us as your personal Internet business consultant.

If your project involves website development, we ask you (and help you to answer) questions like these:

We give you recommendations regarding your future site's content, structure, functionality, usability and search engine optimization strategy. We help you to make your users feel comfortable. We help you make a good first impression and provide a memorable experience for them. We want your visitors to become your loyal customers or returning readers. If you give them what they want, they will be back, just like you go repeatedly to your favorite restaurant or online store.

If you need help with purchasing a domain name, finding a qualified hosting company or appropriate ecommerce package, we assist you with pleasure.

We have a high-speed broadband connection, so we can easily receive files from you: scans, digital photos, PowerPoint presentations, spreadsheets and Word documents of any size. Sometimes you may need to send us graphics or other materials via regular mail. We develop designs and email them to you or upload them for your review to your private work folder at our website. We give you time to look at the drafts before we discuss them with you. We listen to you carefully, answer your questions and make necessary changes. Two-three revisions are included in our standard web design package, but we are flexible. We want you to be happy with the final product.

We consult with you throughout the process, sharing current web trends and what we have learned from our own extensive experience on the web and from our clients' experiences. We are interested in your success: we want to be part of your success story and we would love to work with people you refer to us.

When work is basically done and you are happy with the results, we test your site on the most popular Internet browsers and platforms, debug it, upload it and voila! IT'S LIVE! We submit your website to top search engines and directories. We let our friends and colleagues know and we celebrate the birth of new website.

...And it's often just a beginning. Unlike a print job, your website is an ongoing project, it's live. The more care you put in your site, updating it, testing it, trying new things, the better the outcome.

Maintenance

Software development process

1. Software Requirements Analysis and Management

After the initial step of team formation, we do a thorough needs analysis of customer requirements including determining needs (elicitation), addressing how those needs need to be addressed (triage) and documenting the desired external behavior of the systems (specification)

2. Software Project Planning

Planning is a critical phase which involves creating high-level architecture, delivery and deployment schedules for software development, information and capacity architecture, and third-party integration.

3. Software Project Tracking and Oversight

4. Software Quality Assurance

5. Software Configuration Management

6. Testing

After the various components are developed, they are integrated and rigorously tested as a complete solution. Application behavior is compared with the initial specifications and any deviations are identified and corrected.

7. Implementation

After the project is completed, it is deployed across an enterprise by working closely with its internal IT team and training is imparted to the end-users of the system.

8. Maintenance

Our maintenance phase covers system health maintenance including database, application and network maintenance. Required application feature enhancements are planned at this stage, and are developed and executed as and when appropriate.

Our Customer Fulfillment Process

Our customer fulfillment process begins with initiating the project once the estimates are given to the Client engagement team.

Plan and Elaborate

Once the project is confirmed, an enhanced feature list is prepared. The project and its associated tasks are then assigned to the respective leads in the Design and Development team. The Use cases and the Software Requirements documents are created here. The design architecture is then communicated to the organization. The work on prototypes then begins.

Design and Development

We follow the iterative model of development. In this methodology, once the preliminary requirements are clarified, the next step is to quickly build the prototype of the website/web application. From then on, the prototype will go through continuous evolutions until it becomes the final product, exact to specifications. Our design and development processes are well defined. These processes are strictly adhered to through all cycles of evolution in the product life cycle.

Some of the notable features are:

Visibility of Work in Progress-

This is a revolutionary, new approach to software development and extremely suited to offshore development and outsourced services. When you outsource your web solutions to us, we are sensitive to the fact that you require high visibility of the WIP (work in progress). This is the reason why we have adapted this methodology to our web development process. At each stage along the development, the website/web application evolves before your own eyes. Here are the broad milestones in this process:

Prototype

The most crucial phase that gives you an idea of the shape of things to come. Keeping in mind the customer requirements, a more than visual representation of the same is displayed in the prototype. The client evaluates this and we deliver the final product from the final "evolutionary prototype".

A prototype ensures smooth communication between user and developer with different backgrounds. Vague requirements can be given a clear definition while risks and costs are reduced in development.

The Proof of Concept

The prototype evolves to its more complex level of existence. Many parts of the prototype spring to life. This is an intermediate delivery stage before the final delivery that aims to establish the proof of concept. The client can now almost feel the solution that he/she had entrusted us to develop. Our production engine then hauls the project to completion.

Functional specifications document

This is a blueprint for how a particular web project or application looks and works. It details what the finished product will do, how a user will interact with it and what it will look like. This enables easy management of client expectations and saves time on productivity. The development process is streamlined here.

This document marries user experience with the various departments, business and technology required for the project. The application being developed is defined and its purpose is stated clearly here. Information models that help convey the concepts of the application like the user model, the designer model and the programming models are developed here.

The flow chart showing the Customer fulfillment process lists out the various deliverables and documents that are created and delivered during the development and deployment phase.
Processes are measured at every stage and detailed reports elucidating the same are submitted at every stage of our work. Our processes also take into account change and risk management functions.

Final delivery

A QC (Quality control) resource is assigned to every project at the very beginning and proposes a Software Test Plan (SFT) for the project. This prescribes the scope of the testing involved and ensures that all the functional and design specifications are implemented. The QC representative ensures that Unit testing of all the phases in a project beginning from the requirements capture through the design, development and the final product are completed. Future recommendations are also made here.

Site Promotion

Our site promotion process is an effort towards getting a website the visibility that it needs on the Web. Our process includes optimizing the head content of a site for better ranking in search engines for particular keywords/phrases and then submitting these pages to search engines so as to get them indexed. We follow different approaches for this - for Directories like Yahoo, we drill down to the exact category and submit the site; for Search Engines like Google, we submit the URL with the perfect Description containing the keywords that are being targeted. We even try other techniques like Linking to other specific interest sites (which helps in increasing Link Popularity), paying for inclusion, Banner Ad Advertising, Keyword Ad Targeting, etc.
