Design Methodology:

We follow a systematic and step-by-step methodology for all our Internet and Web software development. In our development methodology we first follow our clients' defined processes and methods, and then incorporate our own internal process steps where ever they are appropriate, with clients' approval. In absence of clients' defined methodologies, we present a draft of methodology to be followed in a project and get approval from our clients.

The main objectives of following a methodology is to make the development cycle as efficient as possible, to complete development within lowest possible cost keeping the highest quality, and to achieve the fastest turn-around. Another important objective is to make future maintenance easier and faster. The development cycle for each and every project is some way unique, depending on clients' requirements and their unique operating environment. Design and development methodology also varies depending on the software, hardware technologies chosen by clients.

Web Development Methodologies

• Discussion & analysis: Objective/ goal analysis, preliminary discussion - E-commerce/ Web-site strategy/ situation analysis, firming up strategy
• Technology, software evaluation
• Cost analysis for development, operations, maintenance
• Design initial layout/ features/ capabilities, prototype, relevant contents
• Design iteration - complete several rounds of revisions/ reviews/ refinements
• Define final design, layout and features
• Develop/implement web site (graphics,back-end software,content,integration with 3^rd party/external software)
• User testing, functionality testing, performance testing, acceptance testing
• Client sign-off
• Final launch

Development Elements
