PLANNING, SCOPING AND SPECIFICATION

Good planning and scoping is essential to any successful IT project.

Be wary of any company or freelancer who wants to get started on your project right away. In order to get what you want and stay within budget, planning is absolutely essential.

  • Discuss the idea.
  • Work out aims and goals.
  • Describe processes.

Ensure that you and your developers are on the same wavelength and know what the expected outcome is.

SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE AND WIREFRAMES

See plans of your system to make sure you're on the right track.

Wireframes are very rough sketches that show you how the system or website will look when it is finished. They do not go in to much design detail, but show information such as:

  • Where buttons and links will go.
  • How the screens will be laid out.
  • Available functions and processes.
  • Display "rules".

Wireframes ensure both you and your developers have a blueprint for the development. They can be used to spot potential issues early, rather than developing the entire system and then making changes.

DESIGN

Make sure your site or system looks good.

How a site or system looks is paramount to it's success, but design doesn't stop there. Designing a custom site or system should take into account how easy it is to use, not just how pretty it looks.

  • Custom bespoke designs.
  • Clean look and feel.
  • Easy-to-use navigation.
  • Clarity.
  • Consistent approach.

Working with an experienced developer ensures your custom project will come out easy-to-use, while looking great!

DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION

The processes that make your idea tick.

Development and implementation is key to a great custom project. Now that the design is sorted, it's time to do the work that will populate that design with the right data at the right time.

We ensure the development is:

  • Project-managed properly.
  • Delivered on-time.
  • Delivered in-budget.

Quality, experienced developers are ready to make your ideas come to life!

TECHNICAL SUPPORT

Once your project is developed, it needs to be put in an environment that works and supported by a dedicated, experienced team.

Our dedicated account managers and support desk cover:

  • Hosting.
  • Emails.
  • Analytics.
  • Ongoing technical support.

Six Ticks: Supporting your project, once the job is done.

We've played around with Google Adwords in the past with a few different companies, and never really found it work. I hesitated, but shouldn't have worried, within three months with Six Ticks at the helm we have a great campaign, with easy to understand reporting of what was going on. Six Ticks are easy to work with, and understand our target market perfectly.

Six Ticks have created a great website for us. We are super chuffed! I really enjoyed working with Six Ticks. They created the website I was hoping for. One that impresses and exceeds the expectations of my clients. They allowed me creative control, meaning I adjusted and added all sorts of personal aspects into the design that they weren't used to. Professionals in their field. I wouldn't have wanted to go with anyone else.
