02. Steps

Our Development Steps

A structured approach from concept to launch

01

Discovery & Planning

We start by understanding your business goals, target audience, and technical requirements. Through detailed discussions and requirements gathering, we create a comprehensive project plan, timeline, and scope document. This phase ensures we're aligned on objectives before any code is written.

  • Requirements gathering and analysis
  • Technical architecture planning
  • Project timeline and milestone definition
  • Budget and resource allocation
02

Design & Prototyping

Our design team creates wireframes, mockups, and interactive prototypes that bring your vision to life. You'll review and provide feedback at each stage, ensuring the final design meets your expectations and user needs before development begins.

  • User experience (UX) design
  • User interface (UI) mockups
  • Interactive prototypes
  • Design system and style guide
03

Development Sprints

We build your project in agile sprints, typically 1-2 weeks each. After each sprint, you'll see working features, provide feedback, and we'll adjust as needed. This iterative approach ensures we stay aligned with your vision and can adapt to changing requirements.

  • Agile sprint planning and execution
  • Feature development and integration
  • Regular code reviews and quality checks
  • Sprint demos and feedback sessions
04

Testing & Quality Assurance

Every feature undergoes rigorous testing before it's considered complete. We perform unit tests, integration tests, user acceptance testing, and performance testing to ensure your application is reliable, secure, and performs well under load.

  • Automated and manual testing
  • Security and performance audits
  • Cross-browser and device compatibility
  • User acceptance testing (UAT)
05

Deployment & Launch

We handle the entire deployment process, from staging environment setup to production launch. Our DevOps practices ensure smooth, zero-downtime deployments with automated rollback capabilities if needed.

  • Staging environment setup
  • Production deployment
  • Performance monitoring setup
  • Launch support and troubleshooting
06

Maintenance & Support

After launch, we provide ongoing maintenance, updates, and support. Your dedicated representative remains available for questions, feature enhancements, and technical support. We monitor your application's performance and proactively address any issues.

  • Ongoing bug fixes and updates
  • Performance monitoring and optimization
  • Security updates and patches
  • Feature enhancements and improvements
03. Methodology

Agile Development Practices

Modern methodologies for modern results

Sprint-Based Development

We work in 1-2 week sprints, delivering working features at the end of each sprint. This allows for continuous feedback, early problem detection, and the flexibility to adjust priorities as your needs evolve.

Collaborative Planning

You're involved in sprint planning and prioritization. We discuss what features to build next, review progress together, and make decisions collaboratively. Your input directly shapes the development roadmap.

Iterative Improvement

After each sprint, we review what went well and what can be improved. This continuous improvement mindset ensures we're always refining our process and delivering better results with each iteration.

Backlog Management

We maintain a prioritized backlog of features, enhancements, and fixes. As priorities change or new requirements emerge, we adjust the backlog and plan upcoming sprints accordingly.

04. Communication

Communication Cadence

Stay informed and engaged throughout your project

Clear, consistent communication is fundamental to our process. We've designed our communication cadence to keep you informed without overwhelming you, and to ensure you can reach us when you need us.

Daily Updates

Your dedicated representative provides daily progress updates via your preferred communication channel (email, Slack, or project management tool). You'll know what was completed, what's in progress, and any blockers we've encountered.

Weekly Reviews

Every week, we schedule a brief review call to discuss progress, answer questions, gather feedback, and plan the upcoming week. These calls are typically 30 minutes and focus on alignment and next steps.

Sprint Demos

At the end of each sprint, we demonstrate the completed features and gather your feedback. This is your opportunity to see the work in action, request adjustments, and approve features before they're considered complete.

12-Hour Availability

Your dedicated representative is available 12 hours per day, answering calls on the first ring or calling back within 15 minutes. We're here when you need us, ensuring urgent questions and issues are addressed promptly.

05. Tools

Project Management & Reporting

Transparency through modern tools and clear reporting

We use modern project management tools to track progress, manage tasks, and provide visibility into your project. You'll have access to real-time dashboards, progress reports, and detailed documentation.

Project Dashboards

Real-time dashboards show project progress, completed tasks, active work, and upcoming milestones. You can see at a glance where your project stands and what's coming next.

Task Tracking

Every feature, bug fix, and enhancement is tracked as a task with clear descriptions, status, assignee, and due dates. You can see exactly what's being worked on and by whom.

Progress Reports

Weekly progress reports summarize completed work, upcoming milestones, budget status, and any risks or blockers. These reports provide a comprehensive view of project health.

Documentation

All project documentation, including requirements, technical specs, API documentation, and deployment guides, is maintained in a central, accessible location for your reference.

06. Milestones

Milestone-Based Delivery

Clear checkpoints and deliverables throughout your project

We break every project into clear milestones with defined deliverables. Each milestone represents a significant achievement and provides an opportunity to review progress, adjust course if needed, and celebrate wins together.

Project Kickoff: Requirements finalized, project plan approved, team assigned, and development environment set up.
Design Approval: Wireframes, mockups, and prototypes reviewed and approved, ready for development.
Core Features Complete: Primary functionality implemented, tested, and ready for review.
QA Complete: All features tested, bugs fixed, and quality assurance sign-off received.
Launch: Application deployed to production, monitoring active, and launch support provided.
07. Quality

Quality Assurance & Testing

Rigorous testing practices that build trust and ensure reliability

Quality isn't an afterthought — it's built into every stage of our development process. We employ comprehensive testing strategies to ensure your application is reliable, secure, performant, and user-friendly.

Automated Testing

We write automated unit tests, integration tests, and end-to-end tests that run with every code change. This ensures existing functionality continues to work as we add new features, catching bugs early in the development cycle.

Security Testing

Every application undergoes security audits, vulnerability scanning, and penetration testing. We follow OWASP best practices and ensure your data and your users' data are protected against common threats.

Performance Testing

We test application performance under load, ensuring your application can handle expected traffic volumes. We optimize database queries, implement caching strategies, and monitor performance metrics throughout development.

Cross-Platform Testing

We test across multiple browsers, devices, and screen sizes to ensure your application works consistently everywhere. Responsive design is tested on real devices, not just in browser developer tools.

User Acceptance Testing

Before launch, you'll have the opportunity to test the application in a staging environment. We gather your feedback, make necessary adjustments, and ensure the application meets your expectations and business requirements.

Code Reviews

Every piece of code is reviewed by at least one other developer before it's merged. Code reviews ensure quality, catch bugs, share knowledge, and maintain consistent coding standards across the project.
