Processes
Architecture
Before building your site or system, plans are required for both the back and front ends.
Installation & configuration
As well as smarts, what really makes a successful implementation likely is experience.
Ongoing support & development
Launch is probably just the first of many phases.
nce everything’s built and running silky smooth at a web site or system built to your specifications on a robust platform, you can start cashing in on the benefits of such a setup by having us add new functionality and features.
In fact, in the spirit of software’s “release early, release often” mantra, we generally divide projects into phases from the get go, building out each part to completion before starting on the next. That way, ongoing support and development is simply a continuation of the initial working style.
