Methodology


Centek has a well-defined model for its outsourced project development process using a combination of onsite and offsite processes. This combination offers high quality, cost-effective service to clients who also benefit from the significantly lower costs of offshore services combined with local project management. The success of your web design project is our focus.

Following our time tested methodology allows us to pinpoint the requirements that will ensure your project delivers your goals.

Our website methodology has four distinct phases:

  • Define

Our first action is to discover why you, our client, want this work done. What is driving this need? From this simple question we work with you to develop a strategy and direction for your web site or application. The Centek project leader documents the general requirements for the web application, critical success factors, and a general plan for completion that becomes our basis of understanding moving forward.

Using this information we will put together a tactical plan of how best to acheive you goals and produce a full proposal to proceed with the project.

  • Design

Information gained from the definition stage is used to begin the design phase and the creative juices are turned on!

From our define documentation, Centek creates a plan to further define business requirements, layout and design, and the technical foundation for the project. This plan becomes our design document (with your approval) that allows us to begin building.

  • Develop

Concepts, designs, strategy, and blueprints become a reality in the development phase. Using the tools, platform, and resources outlined in the design document, the project team acts on the plan detailed in the design phase. This phase is considered complete when an Alpha version of the product is posted for review. Testing is the emphasis in this phase of the project. We review feedback from the Alpha version posting and make necessary modifications. The modifications result in the Beta version. Next, the Beta version is reviewed, tested, and further modified.

  • Deploy
    The final phase of our methodology is deployment...Your web site is now almost complete!

Once extensive testing is completed and final approval is obtained from both the project team and the client sponsor, the web site or tool is brought online. During the deployment phase, Centek includes not only a description of the system, but also the knowledge transfer necessary for support and maintenance moving forward.
