The Process

Web Applications

We'll need to know:

• What is your target audience?
• What purposes will the application serve for you?
• What purposes will the application serve for your end users?
• What general page layout do you envision?
  • How will users navigate the site?
• Which pages have extensive graphical elements?
  • How many compositions would you like for each one?
• What kinds of interactivity will the application support?
• What kinds of dynamic content will the application provide?
  • Web 2.0 user-generated content
  • Content from a database (3-tier architecture)
  • Content from web services (n-tier archecture)

If you can't answer all these questions yet, no worries!

The design decisions can come from a dialogue--a process of iterative refinement. We'll suggest design elements (such as a menu hierachy or page layout) and ask for your input. Once we have a spec you are happy with, we'll give you a quote.

Web Services

Our process for developing a web service is similar to our process for developing applications. Graphic and user-interface elements won't apply, of course.

Service-specific design questions:

• What business needs does the web service fulfill?
• What usage patterns do we expect from client services and applications?
• What kinds of future extensibility does it need to support?

We can work with you and/or your managers and developers to come up with an elegant, extensible API that meets your needs.
