As a full service web development group, we are able to work with you from your original conception to execution to maintenance of your site. in particular, we do..
Requirements gathering
We sit down with you and figure out what you want you want the site to do for you -- communicate information, sell something, manage information in a database, etc. Depending on complexity and budget, we can do this informally -- back of a napkin sketches -- or formally -- user stories, performance requirements and so forth.
Conceptualization and design
Once we have requirements, we can start figuring out how we will implement the required functionality and how the site will look and feel. We'll either work wuth your graphics person or do the graphics in-house. We usually go through several mock-ups in an effort to make sure theat everyone is happy.
Coding and testing
With the requirements and a design in-hand, we can start developing your site. Although we are technology agnostic, most of our sites are built to be deployed on a LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) platform. As the need arises, we can and do use other technologies including Windows, IIS, Oracle, MS SQL and Ruby. During and after developing the code, we use a combination of automated and manual test tools to verify our sites.
Domain registration
Since domain registration is critical to your branding and can be a difficult road to navigate, we can manage your registration for you.
Hosting and email
We offer site hosting and email management for all sites developed by us.
Site and database backups
The source code used to build your site is backed up in redundant systems. A backup service is available for database-driven sites.
