Project Methodology
We follow a standard project methodology for all the projects we take up. Further on we customize a few things for different clients to suit their requirements.
- Project implementation Team
- Scope of work.
- Implementation
1. Project implementation Team
The project team would consist of:
- Project Manager: to manage the team and interact with the client office for continuous feedback & have overview of website design, content & manage flow.
- Programmer/Content Editors/Sub-Editors: to add, edit and update the website content. In short the content developers would be used for content management system.
- Graphic Designer: to visualize and create homepage, internal pages and the entire look and feel of the website/web module.
- Server Manager: to manage and monitor the website to ensure the maximum uptime, creation of email ids and other server related issues.
- Search Engine optimizer/Database designer: to design and access control of the database.
2. Scope of the work
The following functions (Front End as well as back Office) would be implemented to ensure timely and successful implementation of the entire project
- Complete ‘look and feel’ designing by creating Home page & internal page templates.
- Home page and internal page development with contents and images.
- Customer detail capturing module and password management.
- Payment Gateway
- CMS driven contents
- Administrative back office

3. Project Implementation
The project implementation would involve a sequence of steps to be executed as given by:
- Creating a Project implementation Plan.
- Finalizing the implementation Duration.
- Executing the plan in coordination with Quality control & Time Management.
- Monitoring the Progress of project Execution with plans & timely status reviews
Proposed Implementation Plan
Whenever any project is started it goes through various phases. At each stage certain tasks are accomplished from conceptualization to implementation & control. The detailed description of each phase is given as follows:
1. Conceptualization
A team of Software professionals will carry out the process of conceptualization of the project. After a detailed analysis and reality check, a project line will be developed. This also includes gathering primary information from the client organization through question and answer sessions, personal interviews and observations.
2. Visualization & Designing
Layout templates, color scheme, embedded graphics, target audience, access speed are some of the issues that the team will tackle, Zeroing down on the focus, a set of prototypes will be developed and weighed against their practicality on the Internet. Prototype will be sent to the client for views and approval.
3. Development
Issues pertaining to platform for development, static or dynamic, database, content, photography and graphics, programming languages and skill sets to be deployed are addressed. A matrix is developed to resolve optimum versus ideal paradox for achieving best results. Subsequent to necessary approvals, development is done on a modular approach basis.
Each module is put through internal and client approval at each stage. Total Development is completed within the stipulated timeframe without discounting quality and compatibility parameters.
......4. Testing & Quality Control
The quality team does an independent quality analysis separately and jointly for each component and the project on the whole. Client feedback is included at every stage and if required radical decisions are taken to ensure optimized usage of the project.
5. Hosting
The site will be hosted on live servers under test environment for internal and client approvals. Load testing, database integrity testing, data recovery testing and other processes are carried out before taking the site live.
6. Security
The site will have high security features including storage of sensitive information like password in 128-bit encrypted format.
7. SEO and Monitoring
Vision versus actuality matrix is developed and the site is continuously monitored on the same. Success and failures are explicitly marked. Successes are protected and strengthened and failures are dissected and deliberated upon to evolve a success paradigm for them.
8. Evolution
A successful site is always on evolution. It has to be serially pregnant to enthuse user interest at every stage and deliver a bundle of pleasant surprises to the end customer.
