There is no better way of assuring the quality of a website than by incurring a financial penalty for failing to do so. We undertake all website development work on a fixed price basis, so if we get it wrong, we have to put it right at our cost. This gives us a considerable incentive to get it right first time.
Our customers are not exposed to any risk, either technical or financial, because we take full responsibility for both managing the entire project and running the website on one of our web servers.
We start by specifying the website requirement in detail in our initial proposal, at which stage many customers have not fully thought through their requirements, so we offer a suggested solution without tying the customer down to an exact specification.
For example, the customer may decide in the course of the website development to replace, say a news page with a gallery page. We would normally accommodate such a change at no extra cost, because both types of page require a similar amount of development work. This level of flexibility on our part has proved to be an essential ingredient in the successful development of websites for our customers.
All modern websites are all data driven, even the simplest, if only to provide easy to use online content management facilities, so they are also programmable.
As programmable entities, every aspect of our customers' websites can be tailored to the customer's precise requirements. We do not use any standard packages, templates, such for online shopping, because they place unacceptable constraints on the operation of a website operation and conflict with its intrinsic graphic design.
The quality of the development work demanded by this approach can only be assured through adherence to best practices in the design, development and testing of the website.
We adopt the same approach regardless of the level of sophistication of the website, from simple brochure websites through to full eCommerce websites with large product databases and online purchasing.
