GENERAL APPROACH FOR FROM-SCRATCH CODING WEBSITES
For general website design & development projects we employ the following steps:
After quote acceptance/signoff, initiation payment is processed to start the project. As required by the project, the geeks will get in touch with you over your preferred mode of communication to discuss the requirements in detail.
Once we have the Site requirements we will have a mock-up for your review within 10 to 15 working days.
You can review the design and suggest improvements accordingly. Depending upon your project, generally up to 3 to 5 design modifications can be done within the given estimates.
Once the design is finalized and approved, we’ll proceed with the development.
Once the site is ready from our end, we generally hand it over to you for further review, test and/or to upload/change contents as necessary.
At this stage, we can discuss and set a “Go-Live date” for us to make the website/project live.
Your website can be made live within 3 to 5 working days after a Go-Live approval, assuming that the accounts are clear. Kindly note that we require full payment prior to transferring the website to the server.
We encourage you to provide all the necessary details, at the start of the project to ensure that our team’s time is efficiently utilized on your project and you do not incur any unnecessary additional costs.
You will be kept updated via emails and/or telephone calls as the project demands. However, please do not hesitate to contact us at any time you require a project status. Also, please always keep us updated with your relevant email addresses/contact details.
Once the website/application has been made live on the client’s domain, it is their responsibility to take regular full back-ups and to update all components and third-party software unless the Plan or Package offers it.
We consider ourselves to be very flexible and adaptable and approach all requests with a ‘can-do’ attitude. If you require something changed, please feel free to discuss it with us.
