Skip the Requirements
Sunday, July 31st, 2011Did you notice? The world’s a different place. Rules for doing business have changed-there’s new ways of getting hired, finding employees, reaching new customers, and (shudder) for them to reach you. Economies of scale have flipped-it’s getting more expensive to do things on a huge scale, and far cheaper to do them at a micro scale. Mass market items have lost their appeal, and people yearn for authentic, individual connections in a world of franchise same-ness.
As customers, we want it all. We want to know what your products are, how much they cost, and what benefit we get from purchasing them. We want to know what others have experienced, we may go see what people are saying about you on Facebook, Google, or Twitter, or Yelp, or any of a thousand other sites. Oh yeah, and we don’t want to pay more, either. Are you listening?
We’ve been listening to our clients, and have a created a whole new way of helping them succeed on the web. And we’ve had a bit of an epiphany by doing so-web development has been broken for quite a while! It’s a wonder any sites get done at all. Here are 10 problems with the way web projects are typically done. We’ve experienced all of these problems, but more importantly, we’ve figured out how to solve them.Skip Hire Cheshire
Problem 1: Everybody wants to know what it’s going to cost.
The way we used to work, we couldn’t tell you what any given project would cost. One part of the problem is that we don’t know what you want to buy, or how much detail work would be necessary before declaring victory and calling the project complete. Skip hire Didsbury
Solution 1: Agree to a budget up front.
We can tell you if a budget is reasonable for what you’re trying to accomplish. If it’s tight, we can help you prioritize features, and make sure the critical ones are done first before the budget is exhausted. Skip Hire Wilmslow
