Project Manager Assignment: Every project is assigned a dedicated Project Manager (PM) who performs a 24-hour initialization study to map out the flow, technical logic, and business requirements.
-
UI/UX Excellence: A dedicated UI/UX Designer is assigned to ensure the best possible user experience. We provide two (2) initial homepage mockup designs for client collaboration and approval.
-
Written Proposal: Following the 24-hour study, a formal written proposal or Statement of Work (SOW) will be issued to define the project roadmap.
