Discovery
During the discovery phase, Kimaweb confers with the client to better understand
their business, customer needs, existing relationships and goals. By working through
the client discovery survey, performing competitive analysis and conducting market research,
Kimaweb shares a learning environment. By combining our client's
industry expertise with our experience and knowledge of new media development we use
the discovery period to finalize budgets, build a project timeline, agree upon
deliverables, and assess creative requirements.
Definition
Next, Kimaweb applies knowledge gathered during the discovery phase to implement
a site framework that will serve as a blue print for the duration of the project.
During the definition phase Kimaweb presents three rounds of creative concepts
to the client while working to specify the design and functionality of the application.
The definition phase integrates creative strategy with technical components to
arrive at one cohesive plan.
Development
The development period allows Kimaweb to finalize the placement of content while
developing the user interface and navigation structures. The success of this process
requires an open dialogue between Kimaweb and the client. We have attempted to
make the exchange of ideas as convenient as possible by working face-to-face or
using our web based client extranet consultation approach to present ideas and designs
for approval. Completion of a running prototype that can enter into product testing
is the final goal of the development phase.
Implementation
To guarantee your product delivers superior performance, Kimaweb engages in extensive
prototype testing during the assurance phase. Application-based analyses aimed
at optimizing the user experience are an integral component of our quality assessment.
If the application passes the quality assurance cycle, Kimaweb presents the final
product to the client. Once everyone agrees the application performs flawlessly,
Kimaweb will prepare the client to handle the management and maintenance involved
in day-to-day operation.
