Strategy and Analysis
Every web development process needs a strategy and a set of research. We listen to you trying to figure out what business tasks, who are the end users, and what the main functionalities should be. Our extensive research informs the design of bespoke websites, user-friendly interfaces, and effective features to enhance your Chicago business.
Design and Mockups
When it comes to design and prototyping, you need to be able to turn your website vision into reality. We develop and design layouts and mockups that are at the same time attractive, easily usable, and fit into your brand. We ensure the optimized web design for Chicago businesses so that their website works perfectly on all devices.
Development & Coding
At this stage, the website's graphic design is implemented through the development and the coding. Our developers use the most sophisticated tools, including HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and other qualitative backend frameworks, to create fast, safe, and adaptive websites.
Testing and Launch
All systems are working well; it is the right time to publish the website. All speed, security measures, and performance on every device are checked. It is time to go live with the website and further work together to reach maximum effect for your business.

The Essential Process of Web, App and Software Development
Planning
At the start of each project, we work with our customers to build a solid project plan. The initial scope document can come from the client or a combined process of phone calls and in-person meetings.
Wireframing
Once the project plan and scope have been finalized, our wireframe team takes over to determine the placement of all objects on each page of the application, whether it is a consumer mobile app or a backend business application.
Design
This is an exciting stage of the project where you can see the entire application come to life. We will provide you with clickable versions to fully experience everything the user goes through before we begin coding.
Code
As an Agile development shop, we break down the project into baskets of features called Sprints. This approach allows our customers to regularly review the progress of their software development process and provide feedback at the end of each spring.
Testing
The testing process is a crucial step in ensuring that the product is functional, reliable, and user-friendly. The goal is to detect and correct any issues before the application is released, ultimately improving the user experience and ensuring the success of the product.
Deployment
After the application is completed, approved by our internal QA, project management and the client - we are ready to deploy the code to its final destination. Hosting options vary from client owned servers to web or cloud hosting.
