Startup
First principles. Decide where you want to be or you won’t know if you get there. We need to establish exactly what it is that you are looking to achieve and we will work with you to find the best way to achieve your goals.
What Are Your Goals?
When launching something new it’s easy to get overwhelmed with the number of tasks that lie ahead. Therefore it is very advantageous that your wish list is whittled down and prioritised. There will be many things you can reasonably do yourself, and many more where it makes sense to delegate to experts for optimum results. We are here to provide you with all of the technical resource you need to achieve your goals.
To make the most efficient use of your resources we need to work together and ensure that focus is being put into the most important areas and that your project stays on track. This is called Agile Project Management and we will show you how it can help you to focus on the end result rather than getting overwhelmed with the details.
How we help startups
Here is an overview of some of the services we can help you with when creating your new business web site.
Feasibility Study
You have an interesting idea or can see a brilliant opportunity. What needs to happen now is to make sure that it is technically possible to achieve what you are aiming for within the budget you have available. We can examine the facts and provide you with the information you need to successfully plan your new website.
Design Implementation
You have worked with a brilliant designer to put together the concepts for your web site pages. Now you need someone to make those concepts a reality whilst following the latest in web design implementation best practices. This will mean your site looks great, works across all devices and loads quickly.
Server Setup
When launching a new site, you need a server that is not too expensive in terms of hardware costs but you need to squeeze the most out of it in terms of performance so that you won’t have to upgrade any time too soon. We can work with your hosting company to ensure that your hosting environment is secure, version controlled, backed up and well optimised for performance.
Agile Project Management
We have the experience to help you manage your project using Agile practices. Not only for the technical resources we provide but also for any other expertise that is required – continually keeping careful control of the whole project.
Experienced
Revitalising an existing site with the latest technology and design brings the best of both worlds
What are you trying to achieve?
If you are planning a rebuild, we need to get an accurate understanding of exactly what areas you most want to improve upon. A common reason to rebuild is simply to get your web site looking contemporary, running across mobile and desktop browsers and generally keeping you looking up to date so your customers feel confident to do business with you.
The other major reason to rebuild is if your current platform is holding you back technically. Perhaps you are running multiple web sites and you want to consolidate these into a single multistore implementation with a single administration area. Maybe you need to be able to handle complex pricing rules across different customer groups and you are managing this in a cumbersome or manual fashion.
Solution Oriented Agile Projects
Solution Oriented Agile Project Management to Deliver Success
Using Agile, we can ensure that your project stays on track.
Agile is a time-boxed, iterative approach to software delivery that builds software incrementally from the start of the project instead of trying to deliver everything all at once at the end.
Frequent releases of new functionality mean that all stakeholders are fully involved, can intercommunicate issues and conerns, working together to make sure the project is a success
An agile project is broken down into small chunks that are then delivered before moving onto the next one. Any issues that arise when developing a chunk, that warrant a change of strategy for the project as a whole, can be acknowledged and accounted for before moving onto the next chunk.
We will isolate chunks of work that need to be done, a sensible order to do them in and will then work through them. External resources can also deliver their iterations to us and all stakeholders can be concurrently productive.
Agile is focused on successful project delivery through repeated successful iterations. Rather than being fixed up front, planning is adaptive. When reality disagrees with the assumptions formed in the initial plan, it does not derail the project. Instead stakeholders can change the plan to account for the new information. This single aspect is perhaps the most valuable to you as a project owner.
