In QC we
follow six steps in developing the dream web solution for you:
-
Discovery:
Recognizing the target
audience and defining the true purpose of the web site to ensure client return
on investment. By the end of this phase both QC and client should also possess a
clear understanding of the scope of the project. What features and
functionalities should the final solution possess etc..
-
Exploration:
Creating design
prototype. This design usually reflects color themes, imagery, typography; and
ideas about the site structure and navigation. The design also illustrates a
good deal about the site map, which is basically a high-level diagram of the
overall structure of a site.
-
Development:
Developing the full web
solution, complete with code, contents and images in our local server. Entire
codes, graphics, database (if any) and HTML are thoroughly tested, both
individually and as whole unit to ensure the web site is working as flawlessly
as possible and it is loading at optimum speed. All the content is checked for
spelling and grammatical mistakes.
-
Bug and usability testing:
Testing the
system in a production environment and check if all the functionalities are
working as they should. Testing for user friendliness. Client involvement is
most intense in this phase who constantly provides inputs if all the features
matched his/her expectations.
-
Deployment:
Implementing the web site in
the client hosting server and configuring it.
-
Client Interaction:
Wolkgeist is reputed for its extreme and effective
client support and client interaction. As soon as we start the development
process, we assign you a ticket in our Project Tracking System(PTS), where you
can log in any time and follow the progress of your solution. A ticket is
assigned for every project we work on for you. We post updates and status of
your project in the PTS almost everyday.
You can post your reviews and inputs in the ticket
system based on your evaluation from the live testing area. We will then take
necessary actions and post the updates for you to check. The system is super
easy to use and you can follow up everything in one place. No need to send back
and forth or keep track of hundreds of emails. If you have multiple projects
with us, you can log in using same user id and password and track the progress
of all projects in one place.
If necessary, besides the ticket system, we can also
contact you by Phone and of course, email.
Maintenance and Evaluation :
Supporting the existing site, as well as gathering and analyzing metrics of
success. Maintenance includes such things as adding new content, making small
usability improvements, fixing simple bugs, answering customer email, checking
that all links point to valid pages, and making backups of the entire web site.
By evaluation, we mean collecting measurements on how the web site is used,
analyzing and summarizing the metrics collected. Metrics measure the overall
health of a web site. Without metrics, it is impossible to tell which aspects of
a web site are working and which are not. Wolkgeist can provide maintenance and
Evaluation services on hourly payment basis.
