How do we do it?

The SDLC of web projects are different than that of traditional windows projects. Because a web projects is more, lot more than a traditional software system, it is the most cost effective and advertising media too. It does not limit itself to  a limited number of users.   It requires right contents to be written to present to the right set of people and that may need further modification at any moment of time. Considering all these we have formulated the following unique steps for making custom web application development. 

1.     Concept development:  This is generally done by you and tells us your concept and requirement. We can help you to this for some web oriented business but at additional cost.

2.     Feasibility Study: We will analyze the concept from both business and technical point of view and prepare a report whether it is going to provide expected result subject to some limitations (on time/budget etc)   set by you.

3.     Prepare URP (User Requirement Plan): This will describe the scope of the project in non-technical terms. This is likely to be done from the client end. We can help too.

4.      Agree on the price and time: Finalize the price of the projects and expected delivery time for the features in the URP. Finalizing the price is only required when the project is done on assignment basis.

5.     Create final SRS (Software Requirements and Specifications) and Page-Plan document:   we will discuss with you in more details, send some template documents for information and finalize the requirements and web page names / sections / menu and flow. You don't need to provide content of all the pages at this stage (It may not be possible for you)

6.     Development time SEO specification given to the programmer and designer (by SEO local expert): Certain SEO aspects must be taken care at the development time, otherwise total loss.

7.      Create a complete prototype site :  Quickly  we will create a site will all initial set of  pages, sections, folders and upload it in your server such that you can  have a visual overview of all proposed pages and sections with exact page flow. This site will also help you to write the content at the site itself.

b.      Ensure all sections  are correctly set

      We must agree before we move forward. Necessary changes in SRS/URP will be made.
 

8.     Write the Content for pages: Client or content writer writes the page contents. We will continue with programming work but graphics design is best to be done after main page content is written. This content must be completed before the programming completed.

9.      Finalize the database and the system:  Design the database, finalize classes, modules, configuration files, base templates, architecture etc decisions, coding standard, standard test plan. Mark the sensitive areas in terms of performance, SEO, user friendliness etc and formulate proactive solutions.

12.  Implement the graphics and contents:  It is assumed that by this time graphics and contents has been ready.
 

13.  Write the testing plan and do formal testing from different standard and site specific angle.     

a.      Test for programming error

b.      Test for design/html in menus, forms, messages.

c.      Test for language mistakes  

d.      Business logic testing

How do we charge?

We charge on the basis estimated hours to be spent. It is true at the very outset it is never possible to tell exactly how many hours will be required. Any deviation will not affect the price until the project scope is changed.

If you hire dedicated programmer to do your projects then we will only send you monthly billing for the hired employees.
