Our Process

Over the years, we've refined a process for building web sites. We've worked for large companies with more process than output and for small companies with total anarchy. We think we've arrived at a methodology that provides just the right amount of planning, development and testing time for large and small projects alike.

Planning
There's a reason that every process starts with planning. It works. Some projects require a couple hours of planning, some require a couple months.

Nearly every web development project we engage starts with a Statement of Work. This easy-to-read document details the tasks required to successfully reach your goals. The framework that this document provides guides the entire project.

Web development projects often require a site map and content matrix. These documents guide Kieva and our clients in gathering and developing content that will populate the site.

Development
Once all planning is complete and the planning documents are accepted, Kieva moves into the development phase of the project. Depending on the project requirements, the development phase might include:

Testing
Kieva executes a customized test plan for each site project. We use standard testing methodologies to ensure that the web site content and software that is released to your customers is as bug-free as possible. Once our testing is complete, we release the project to you for your testing.

Launch
Launching a web site can be tricky. We work with our clients to ensure that the launch is a success from all aspects - marketing, techincal and organizational.

Support
Once the site is launched, we don't disappear. We stand behind our work and help to transition from the development to the management phase of the life of your site. Sometimes we're involved in ongoing management; sometimes our clients have the resources to handle that on their own.
