Our development process

Discussion

Initial project dialogue is followed by an in-depth requirements analysis with project stakeholders known as project scoping.

After this, our team can create project specification documents which outline;- project sprints with deliverables, a client contact schedule and a wireframe outline. All of which allow clients to visualise a visitor's journey through the website or software.
