Project Methodology

his section outlines the key elements ABD Insights' process - proven to deliver on time, to specification and within budget.

Project Analysis Phase
Every project and client is unique. In this phase, we will sit down with your team to get to know your business and to determine the scope and breadth of the project. We will provide suggestions and explanations every step of the way. Depending on the size and complexity of the project, we may recommend an exhaustive project analysis to fully analyze your organization.

Creating a Stage Environment
After the signing of the contract by the client team, ABD Insights creates on our own server, a staging environment, where the new pages will reside while being worked on and until development has been completed. This allows work to be viewed, tested, and approved before being posted live to the Internet public.

Design Phase
This phase begins with a meeting with the client team to identify preferred URLs, graphics available, specific colors, fonts, Website designs to avoid, and key aspects of client branding that are to be maintained throughout the site. ABD Insights incorporates into these designs specific tools to ensure functional usability and user satisfaction, such as a logical user interface, ample navigational support, support for printing, and a clean uncluttered design that makes it easy to find information. The look and feel would be in keeping with the expectations expressed by the client team.

Development Phase
Once the design has been frozen and all content received from the client, ABD Insights commences the actual development. As soon as site development reaches the final stages, ABD Insights will conduct testing to ensure that all elements are working correctly. For this reason, ABD Insights maintains a testing facility, consisting of several computers loaded with multiple combinations of operating systems and browsers. Once the application passes this testing phase, it is loaded onto the Web server and re-tested. At that point the client team will be given the opportunity to make corrections that will be implemented before the pages go live. The pages are then launched and become live.
