1) Initial contact - you approach us with a more or less detailed outline of your project.
2) Clarification - we respond with questions and suggestions.
3) Initial proposal - once the main issues have been clarified, we provide an outline describing how we would develop your system, and indicate a price range.
4) Preliminary contract - if our proposal is satisfactory, we ask you to sign a non-disclosure agreement and make an initial payment.
5) Detailed specification - we in turn prepare a first draft of the detailed specification of the project. This is refined between us until we are all satisfied that it describes the final project exactly as you want it.
6) Final contract and price - we provide the final price for the project and, if you agree to it, the development contract is signed.
7) Development - during programming, we ask you to test the modules as they are completed to confirm that the specification is
congruent with the purpose of the project. It is inevitable that small refinements will be required on a project of any size. In the case of a very large project, we request payment as the various milestones are passed, as specified in the contract.
8) Deployment - the software is deployed, followed by a period of final refinements and debugging, as provided for in the final contract.
9) Hosting and maintenance - we are always happy to provide hosting and long term maintenance and support for projects that we have developed.
