Ready. Set. Let’s Grow.
Learning & Discovering
First things first, we’ll give you a chance to tell us what you’ve been up to. What makes you unique? What’s your vision for the future? What solutions have you been struggling to bring to life?
Then, we’ll work with you to clearly define the requirements necessary to make your vision a reality. We’ll dig deep to get aligned with your goals and determine the solutions you need to meet and exceed those goals.
From complex B2B2C hybrid enterprises all the way down to newly funded start ups, we have a wide range of experience in just about every industry you could imagine. We’ll use this experience to show you what you can expect from a partnership with us.
Planning & Creating
Leveraging all the details we’ve gathered, in this stage, you’ll get a roadmap of what your future will look like as well as what we’d recommend and why.
We’ll put together a blueprint for exactly how your new web store or application will work. We’ll think through all the functionality, integrations, and tiny details together to ensure a flawless product.
We’ll focus on your users’ experience so that your customers are happy to convert time and time again. It’s no secret that when your customers are happy, your bottom line is happy.
You will also have a timeline of how long each phase will take. We leave out no details when we create our project plans so you know exactly what to expect.
Building & Growing
Now, it’s time to get to get to work!
We utilize industry leading tools and time tracking methodology so that you know where we stand at any point in the project. We’ll also stay in frequent communication to track progress, budget, and any challenges that have arisen so we can talk through solutions with you.
You’ll have the opportunity to test each phase of the project and make sure you love it before we move on to the next. You get to see all the pieces come together throughout the duration of the project, so there won’t be any surprises at the end. Except for maybe just how much you love it.
Our work doesn’t end there. We’re with you for the long haul to support you and cheer you on as you grow.
Exactly What You Need. Nothing You Don’t
It’s easy to get lost and confused by all the opinions of the armchair experts out there. The truth is, without knowing your specific business and your specific clients, it’s all just noise.
We’re in the business of creating only what you need without pushing you for any extras. During our learning and discovery phase, we’ll get a strong sense for you and your customers needs.
Since we have an intimate knowledge of each platform we work with, we’ll make sure we max out native capabilities before moving on to custom development. Saving you money, and dramatically decreasing time to live.
We’ve been doing this a long time, so we’ll be able to help you figure out exactly the products or customizations that will fit you better than those jeans you love so much. You know the ones.
Our technical abilities know no bounds. So, if you can dream it, we can bring it to life.
If you have no idea what you need, we’ll help with that too!
You might come to us asking for a whole new website, when in reality, you may only need proper setup and configurations, a marketplace feature, or an integration to a 3rd party service. We’ll let you know when you’re asking for more than you truly need.
We’ll be sure to work backwards from your budgetary requirements, identifying the best way to get the most out of every dollar. The solution we build together will fit your needs today, while allowing you to scale and grow tomorrow.
We’ll walk you through the pros and cons of the options we suggest and make absolutely sure that the final product will fit your goals and best serve you and your customers.
