How We BuildYour Success

 

  • Client Consultation and Requirement Gathering

    First things first, we meet with your team to understand your specific needs and objectives for the Magento 2 extension. This involves gathering detailed requirements, identifying pain points, and defining the desired features and functionalities. It's essential to clarify the expectations and establish a clear project scope.

  • Proposal and Scope Definition

    Based on the gathered requirements, we create a comprehensive project proposal. This document outlines the project scope, objectives, timelines, budget, and deliverables. This helps everyone involved have a shared understanding of what will be developed.

  • Design and Architecture Planning

    Time to plan extension's design and architecture. This phase involves defining the database structure, system architecture, and user interface. It's crucial to design the extension with scalability and maintainability in mind, considering Magento 2 best practices.

  • Development and Coding

    With the design in place, the development team can start writing the code for the Magento 2 extension. This step includes coding the backend functionality, creating user interfaces, and implementing any custom features. Code reviews and testing are critical at this stage to ensure the extension works as intended and adheres to Magento 2 coding standards.

  • Quality Assurance and Testing

    Our team will perform thorough testing to identify and rectify any bugs, errors, or performance issues. This includes unit testing, integration testing, and user acceptance testing. Test cases should cover all aspects of the extension, including compatibility with different Magento versions and third-party modules. Then your team performs testing in a staging/development environment to make sure the functionality meets your expectations.

  • Documentation

    Proper documentation is essential for the project and any future admin users who may need to use the extension. Proper documentation explains the extension's features, installation process, configuration, and any custom code or APIs used.

  • Deployment and Integration

    Time to go Live! This step involves integrating the extension with your existing website, ensuring that it functions seamlessly and doesn't disrupt the site's overall performance.

  • Client Training and Handover

    We provide training to your team on how to use and manage the extension effectively. This includes demonstrating the configuration options, explaining best practices, and addressing any questions.

  • Ongoing Support and Maintenance

    What if you think of new features you want to add? No worries! Post-launch, we provide ongoing support and maintenance services to address any issues that may arise, provide updates, and ensure the extension remains compatible with new Magento releases and/or add any new functionality you request.

  • Final Review and Feedback

    Often called 'After Action Review'. We conduct a final review with your team to gather feedback and assess whether the extension meets their expectations and business goals. And maybe have a pizza party to celebrate!
