Joomla Development in Kenya

Work Process

• Initial consultation

  Beginning with an initial consultation, we will help you form the brief, while taking some time to understand your business. This first meeting is a great time to brainstorm opportunities which previously may not have been considered by you, and we will also take this time to set initial expectations.

  We usually introduce clients to the myriad of options available to joomla sites, such as e-commerce opportunities, plugins, and blogs, and discuss their hosting and operational options.

  We love the initial meeting, as it often helps you really focus and start thinking about their goals..

• Briefing and Concepts

  After the initial meeting, we ask you to start building your formal brief, normally allowing a good couple of days for you to mull over your options in your own time.

  Upon receiving a brief, we mock up some concepts and develop a statement of work. A statement of work is a list of deliverables, generally broken down into tasks and time components, and usually accompanied by a quote with different budget options.

• Work Begins

  If you are happy with the concepts, budget, and the work involved, the green light is given, and we formally begin work on your project. By this stage, there would have been enough feedback given from the initial meeting, mock-ups and brief to begin work. It’s at this stage that we ask you to begin thinking about the copy and content you want to see on your site.

• Testing

  When it comes to the testing and refinement part of the process, we develop the site in a test environment, which allows you to test the site as the features are built. We give access to the test environment as early as the main skeleton of the site is ready.

  This allows feedback to be gained incrementally, as opposed to you testing all features at once at the end of development. By doing this, costly rework is avoided and changes to requirements can be identified early.

  The client can also start sending their copy and content over to be included at this time.

• Production

  Once the client is happy at the end of the development process, the site is ready to be productionised. This involves transferring the code and database to your production web hosting.

• Handover

  At this point the site is developed and you are ready to take ownership, so we set up user accounts and hand over the keys. Depending on the client’s level of existing experience and knowledge, we spend some time helping educate you on how to best use the site, and if needed, give tutorials and lessons to your key staff members.
