Planning Phase

The purpose of this stage is to confirm the information gathered in the Discovery Stage. We want to integrate and discuss all of the different perspectives in the Discovery Stage so that everyone sees all of the pieces of the puzzle. We will present a Defining Document, also known as a Statement of Work or Requirements Document, for your approval. Your approval will initiate the start of the next phase. Together, we will confirm the:

Business requirements
Functional requirements
Technical requirements
Operational considerations
Marketing considerations
Creative perspectives
Delivery perspectives
Deliverable considerations

Design & Development Phase

This is the phase in which we bring all of the pieces of the puzzle together to develop a blueprint for your e-business or Client/Server solution. The phase involves several sub-phases so that a solid solution can be created that integrates all of the requirements in the Discovery and Plan Phases. Ideas for initial design will be recommended, discussed, and refined. This includes:

Creative Concepts
Logo/Brand Renderings
GUI Design and Prototype
Animation Schematics
Site Map and Content Architecture
Present Systems Architecture
Develop Applications
Apply Content
Integration Testing

Going Live! The final version of your product is released to the World or your enterprise end-users. We perform a validation test to make sure it meets all of the requirements discussed in the Define Phases. Once this is confirmed, we survey your business to make sure your needs were met and to help us grow.
