When you fail to plan, you’re planning to fail

Here’s how we plan, prioritize, execute and maintain a website project build

Web Development Services

1

Scope

A web developer will assess your requirements to develop the appropriate specifications for your project.

2

Plan

We help you identify, develop, and prioritize tasks to form a roadmap of execution for your project.

3

Design

Following approval on the planning phase, we will enter a design phase that might include prototyping.

4

Create

The build phase takes place in a staging environment that allows us to present the prototypes for feedback and approval.

5

Unit and System Tests

The functionality and features are tested against the initial requirements by a web developer.

6

User Acceptance Tests

The User Acceptance Testing (UAT) phase allows you to explore the staging version of your website for final approval.

7

Ready for Launch

Once you are 100% happy with your website, we migrate the site to PRODUCTION from STAGING and you can begin to bring in those conversions.

8

Maintain & Support

Websites require constant maintenance, support & marketing – Our web developers will manage those services for you under a monthly retainer.

All these APIs can be integrated into your website to perform functions specific to your business needs. We also develop custom API integrations using the REST API, which allows you to reach data and functionality in one app.

Website Hosting

We provide reliable, affordable domain transfers and website hosting through Xneelo, WPEngine, Domains and Amazon Web Services (AWS) based on your website’s required functionality and traffic volumes.

We’re also proficient in custom server setups that take advantage of the latest Operating Systems (Ubuntu 18 TLS), PHP 7x and Nginx and MariaDB, to ensure the best performance and maintain code security.

Shared Hosting

Shared hosting is economical and is ideal for a small to a medium website with no custom integrations.

Virtual Private Server (VPS)

Ideal for small, medium, and large scalable websites that require a custom plan. You can control and customize your hardware and software configurations and run your own applications.

Dedicated Hosting

Dedicated hosting provides you with an exclusive web server, and is best suited to a small or a medium site with custom integrations and high traffic volumes.

Scalable Applications

Scalable applications are ideal for large to enterprise websites that see high traffic volumes at certain times of the day or during certain periods of the year. With scalable hosting, you are charged according to how much bandwidth you use each month.
