Step One
Step One
The biggest question I always get is, “How is this going to work?” Every client is interested in learning how the process works. How do we get from a need, to a product? How do we take all of your specifications, unmet needs, requirements, and future opportunities - then pull them into a three step process? Well, with this brief three step overview, you’ll hopefully be able to learn either before or after contacting us.
Our process PDF that you can download at the bottom of every page, describes more in depth about how things work. It also describes in depth, our business model, our business goals, and the requirements we need from you to begin.
Let’s get started!
Step Number One - The details
The first contact happens, either an e-mail or a phone call. If you e-mailed us, we’ll e-mail you back. If you called us, we’ll call you back. We’ll start off by describing your project together, possibly giving some scenario’s on what kind of features your Web site will have. It maybe a tedious task, but we’ll ask you personalized questions that will help us gather the exact type of product you are looking for, and how we can help expand your goals. We’ll start by assessing what the Web site will be used for and what the demographic will be. Approximately this could take anywhere from one week exchanging e-mails or conference calls to three weeks planning and reassessing. We’ll agree upon a deadline at this point, if you have one. It’s okay for the project to be on-going, or to not be a priority at the moment. Remember, the more time that you give us, the better your product will be.
We’ll start to put everything together and give you either a brief or detailed proposal with our price (brief or detailed is upon your request). Putting together a proposal can take some period of time, as listing features on a piece of paper seems easy enough, but we have to make sure everything you and your company wants to do is possible. We’ll send you the proposal, then start discussing the price.
Once we agree upon a price and the preferred payment type (usually incremental payments, or being paid in full), then we’ll send you over our contract. The contract will legally bind together the price, project, preferred payment type, and deadline.
