Service variations
Upgrade Joomla! website
For those, who use Joomla! CMS we offer a full package service to get your current website to the most up-to-date state with a new, freshly looking design.
Apart from functional and design parts, we offer responsiveness, SEO and security check. This service allow you to make sure that your website has the latest software used, has a better new design, responsive on any device, secure and has basic SEO correctly configured.
Re-design website
We have a great designer in our team and suggest everyone to get a new design done at least every 8 months. Depends on website traffic and how often visitors come back to it.
Design is not only the means of visual identity, but a usability tool too. Working on the website's separate forms and pages on the website to improve a sales or a service process helps to simplify them and increase a conversion as a result.

Development process
Discuss the scope
It is important to make sure all details are discussed before a project starts. There is no limit to anything in terms of design or functionality. Leave it to us to use our experience and creativity to find the best viable options for your needs.

After the scope was discussed and fixed, we go through possible known solutions and custom options to develop exactly what is requested.
Pay and provide the access
After the invoice is paid (full or 50%, depending on a budget) we need the access to the live account to copy the environment and start the development process.
Development and testing
These 2 processes always go concurrently after the key functions or design changes were implemented. The more changes the project includes, the longer and more thorough the testing will be.
Presenting a beta
After all changes are made and tested, we upload a copy of the clients' environment onto our server for a demo. It is a safe sandbox to test a customization and see how it will look and work on live.
Approval and going live
When a client reviews the scope and make sure all is up to specification discussed, we sync all the changes to a live account and make sure all work the same as on our sandbox server.
Before you start
Clarify the scope, time frame and technologies used on this project. By default, we can choose any solution or option if it was not clearly specified before a project starts.
Provide full (cPanel, FTP, Super Admin) access to live/staging hosting account where eventually results must be installed and tested. If 3rd party service is involved, we need either developer or live access beforehand.
Pay 50% advance if a project costs more than $1000 USD or full sum, if less. This is our standard approach to all projects, which proved its efficiency and shows seriousness of client's intetions.
