Getting started <\/strong><\/p>\n

The first step is to register<\/a> and then you can access our services immediately.<\/p>\n

Once registered as a client you see this screen:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Here is an illustrative example of our user-friendly introduction form so we know the name of your business and whatever you want to tell us about your objectives:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Some clients have to get a website before they want development services, and we can get you setup usually rapidly. \u00a0We then provide support services to help make you independently able to extend your business, your art, your creativity on the web medium more easily. \u00a0And then leave you to it. \u00a0Yes, we can extend support services but each has a term and a desired set of goals.<\/p>\n

Corporate Clients often will have a\u00a0requirement that is more detailed and which is evolving as each Department may have an input. \u00a0They may have approached the market and found they either had to build and staff up a team, budgeting up to five or six figures to resource a project. There are usually holes, contractors may simply not be available. Or it is just too great a risk to contemplate starting, yet.<\/p>\n

Our services are used by IT departments, Agencies, and IT Managers to keep a project on target. \u00a0You want good developers: some of the hard-working skilled contractors who can win in the tough London market now live remotely. \u00a0We offer a structure for subcontracting to add effective workers to existing projects as well as assemble teams for whole projects. \u00a0You want people who understand what you need and are good at delivering and understanding client requirements.<\/p>\n

Developers<\/h4>\n

We offer a structure for developers to join who are skilled in delivering software modules to contribute to a sprint and to win a “fair share” of the fee. \u00a0Most of our developers are full-stack so they can claim 100% but some may wish to invite other developers to join in.<\/p>\n

We only accept payment claims that meet the high level of performance we expect from developers. \u00a0We do not employ developers, they may wish to contribute to a project to develop a relationship with a client. We provide an infrastructure to the client and manage projects.<\/p>\n

A combination of old-school fundamentals and state of the art frameworks and online service integration means that Developers can leverage our infrastructure to manage remote work for clients more easily.<\/p>\n

Client Homepage<\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Our client home page provides a quick method to understand services and to send your enquiry. For example, you may initially ask us to build a new website so you can blog about the project. Or you may have a defined project you wish to talk about.<\/p>\n

We then respond with a proposal by email. This is not<\/strong> a quote but an estimate of how many 2-week sprint iterations are possibly required to get your project working. \u00a0 New projects can take the MVP approach – what is the core purpose of your project, and develop that, and extend it with other services, or applications. \u00a0That way your existing services continue to work without interruption.<\/p>\n

New projects can take the MVP approach – what is the core purpose of your project, and develop that, and extend it with other services, or applications. \u00a0That way your existing services continue to work without interruption.<\/p>\n

We have looked at your requirement and estimate about how long that may take, and how many developers we need to achieve the results we are proposing.<\/p>\n

We send the Client a proposal with two links, one is to place an order on account, and the other is to take advantage of a prepayment discount for the first Sprint and\/or a down-payment for new clients.<\/p>\n

The Client can now order or inquire about additional projects, collecting estimates to on-ramp projects easily.<\/p>\n

When an order is placed, the work is scheduled and one of our team of developers will be in touch to commence the first Sprint. In two weeks, results are published on our Staging Server, ready for Client acceptance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
