How We Charge
At the start of each project we provide a work breakdown. Our estimates are based on the number of hours required to complete a project. Clients are given the facility to track our chargeable hours on our online project management website.
How We Develop
Our development method is based on best practices. Which is why we deliver our products on time and in budget. We implement an eight phase lifecycle model tailored to your specific need:
- Research - We aim to thoroughly understand your business, competition, and client base.
- Requirements Specification - We prepare documentation outlining the essential technical requirements for your project.
- Prototype - We provide you with an opportunity to make actual observations and necessary adjustments to a full scale test model.
