Process

How It Works

Our proven 5-phase approach ensures transparency, quality deliverables, and manageable cash flow. Payment is due only when each deliverable is completed and approved by you.

1
Down Payment

Project Kickoff

We begin every project with a formal kickoff to align expectations, establish clear communication channels, and assign your dedicated project team. This initial payment secures your spot in our development queue and demonstrates mutual commitment to project success. You'll receive immediate access to our project portal where you can track progress in real-time.

What You Receive:

Detailed project charter with scope and objectives
Final timeline with key milestones
Access to project management portal
2
Discovery

Understanding Your Business

This phase is all about understanding exactly how your business operates today and where you want to go tomorrow. We conduct stakeholder interviews, analyze your current processes, and identify integration points with existing systems. By the end of discovery, we have a complete technical roadmap that eliminates surprises during development.

What You Receive:

Comprehensive business requirements document
User journey mapping for all user types
Data migration and integration strategy
Data risk assessment and mitigation plan
3
Design

Creating the Blueprint

Design goes far beyond making things look good. We create the complete user experience, design your database architecture, and plan every API endpoint. You'll see exactly what your users will experience before we write a single line of code. This phase ensures development moves quickly because every decision has already been made.

What You Receive:

Complete UI/UX mockups and interactive prototypes if applicable
Database schema with relationships and constraints
Technical specification with detailed architecture
Security architecture and compliance framework
4
Develop

Note: For longer-scoped projects, development may be split into 2 phases with payment due at each milestone.

Building Your Solution

This is where your custom solution comes to life. We build according to the exact specifications from discovery and design, with regular check-ins and demo sessions to ensure we're on track. You'll see working features as they're completed, not just at the end. For larger projects, this phase may be split into two milestone payments to maintain healthy cash flow for both parties.

What You Receive:

Fully functional web application
Administrative dashboard with reporting
Client-facing portal or interface
All specified API integrations and automations
Comprehensive testing and quality assurance
Staging environment for your review
5
Deploy

Going Live

The final phase focuses on a smooth transition from development to daily operations. We handle the technical deployment, train your team, provide comprehensive documentation, and ensure you're confident running your new system. This isn't just a handoff - it's the beginning of your 90-day support period where we're available for any questions or adjustments.

What You Receive:

Production deployment with monitoring setup
Comprehensive team training sessions
Complete documentation and user guides
90-day support period activation
Emergency contact procedures
