It is quite hard to map the direction when you create organically. But the two central themes of RD are: Service and Technical brilliance.
Service
- Our services are more in touch with the client
- Our services are more flexible and agile
- It is not expensive to change your ideas
- It is not unknown for us to start again and reinvent badly shaped wheels
Technical Brilliance
- We can adapt our software to add any clients requirement into an option
- We love agile as it keeps the work variety and intensity of technical application very smart
- Change gives us opportunities to refactor
- Smart frameworks make Project level refactors far easier to consider
There is a fit between these objectives.
Therefore are products are:
Intro Site: a one year excercise using WordPress with the Client defining what they want
which then progresses to either:
- CMS Site: a hosted continuation of the Intro site
- Development Site: we either develop to staging for a commercial client OR we extend the WordPress CMS with a sub-domain hosted Laravel instance (or GOlang/NodeJS based server depending on the team).
Development Sites are hosted on a Cloud. CMS sites – we use shared hosting for email and DNS as the support is essentially free. NS point at the CMS host.
The www domain can be switched to point at the Cloud site easily with an A record.
Additional Products
We can add new products by adding new Enquiry types. The proposal can only propose CMS/Dev solutions – so some Enquiry types include an Order form bypassing the proposal system: So an Enquiry->Proposal->Order->Project can be Enquiry->Order->Product instead (i.e. for SSL certs, etc).
