Research & Planning

It all starts with developing a clear plan for your particulars. I strive to align with your business goals using relevant technology, a solid timeline and an affordable budget

UI/UX

Next I start working on designing the application user interface (UI). I create interfaces that ensure a positive and intuitive user experience (UX).

Front-end

You never get a second chance to make a first impression. So I will develop a responsive and adaptive application using bleeding-edge tools and technologies. In alignment with your brand, I’ll create a fresh, bespoke design that helps your business to stand out.

Back-end

The core of a web application must be powerful and stable. I create high-performance applications with a rock-solid architecture. And I guarantee high-security standards, scalability, and consistent business logic execution.

Testing

As I progress I will extensively test your application and separate features throughout the development cycle. This ensures that the project remains solid and keeps moving forward. Only after passing acceptance tests will completed applications get released.

Release

As we reach the logical conclusion, I will continue to sharpen the application adjusting to your feedback and that of your users. And quite often, clients decide to augment their in-house team by retaining me for on-going maintenance.
