Project Flow

Our client-friendly project process

Project Flow explained

When we get things right first time we save you time and money. So we believe in consulting with you throughout our work on any assignment you place with us. A vital aid to this process is our innovative 'Project Flow' system.

Project Flow is the name we've given to the process we apply to every project we undertake, no matter its size. This process ensures that we are always aware of your thoughts and ideas throughout the entire project.

We love to keep you informed

Your own Project Homepage

Project Homepage is another reason Qsoft excels at customer service. All our clients are assigned a secure Project Homepage from which you can keep track of our progress with your website. Use it to remotely check and approve the status of briefs, designs and development.

It's simple, efficient and 100% transparent, and we'll keep you up to date with regular email notifications, too

The full process

Project Flow in action

First contact

Typically a phone call or meeting to discuss the project and your exact requirements. We take a preliminary brief, outlining the main objectives of the project. We discuss project timescales and take your contact details.

Feedback

At every stage of the project we take your feedback and act upon it. We do not move onto the next stage without your approval.

Capture functional & design specification

The functional and design specification elaborates on the information taken in the brief. Proposed functionality is planned out in more detail at this stage. It also captures information relating to the look and feel of the website.
The specification is then sent to you for feedback & approval »

Feedback

You view and approve the functional and design specification online via your Project Homepage. If changes to the spec are required we can amend it accordingly.

Developmentexact

We take the designs and start to develop your website; the part you see on screen (front-end) is developed first. We then start work on the administration area (back-end) and any relevant bespoke development/integration you may require. A link to the developed website is then sent to you for feedback & approval »

Feedback

You view and approve the website development via your Project Homepage. If minor-changes to the development are required we can amend it accordingly.

We value your input

We consult you at each stage of the project

Create proposal

We create a detailed proposal from the information in the brief. This outlines the project objectives and includes details of proposed functionality. A quotation for the work described in the proposal will also be sent to you at this stage. The proposal is then sent to you for feedback & approval »

Feedback

You view and approve the proposal via email; we create your Project Homepage. If changes to the proposal are required we can discuss amending it accordingly.

Design layouts

We produce bespoke designs for the various pages in your site using the information you provided us in the functional and design specification. Depending on the scale of the project multiple layouts may be produced. The designs are then sent to you for feedback & approval »

Feedback

You view and approve the layouts from your Project Homepage. If changes to the design are required we can amend it accordingly.

Launch website

Your website is now ready to go live. We set up your hosting, domain and email and final quality control checks are made. We contact you to make sure everthing is ready before we launch your new website.
We contact you after 30 days for a checkup »

Feedback

We do not forget you once your site is launched, we will call you after 30 days to check everthing is running smoothly. You can of course always contact us before should you wish to.
