FAQs

• What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

  I offer both hourly and fixed cost pricing systems.

• What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

  My delivery process is based on agile scrum. In the start, projects are usually initiated by the client with Request for Proposal (RFP). I submit proposals containing project scopes, cost estimates, deliverable deadlines, terms and conditions etc. In the second stage, project scoping starts when client agrees with the terms and conditions, and gives me the green signal to kick start the project. I prepare the detailed document containing functional, non-functional, and technical requirements of the project. In the second step, I develop a skeletal framework and translate the project scope into a user interface architecture. The purpose of this is to arrange layouts, interface elements, and navigational systems to help depict how well they work together. In the fourth step, I start styling the application or website. It helps me in creating the various components that will end up as each screen of the app, and also to determine key aesthetics like typography and colouring. UI/UX designs of the app or website are done by the end of this step. It usually involves preparing various mock-ups and sketches for client’s review and approval. In the fifth step, I develop all the required graphics from scratch, ensuring that the graphics of client’s app or website stand out and are creative enough to catch the attention of their users, customers and visitors. In the sixth step, I start writing magical code following my own coding conventions and client’s specific code requirements. I keep my coding as simple as possible to ensure the scalability and quality performance of the app or website. In the seventh step, I seek client approval for the finished product. This involves either directly sharing the .apk or .ipa file with the client, or uploading it on third party testing websites like TestFlight, whichever is best suitable and feasible for the client. In the eighth step, I publish clients' applications on the app stores for public viewing. After launching the app, I provide the client with 30-day period of free support, ending with the transfer of ownership of the source code to them with minor additional charges applied. In the ninth step, I provide training to the users of the application at client end so that they can deploy the minor changes in the project on their own. In the tenth step, I sign the Annual Maintenance Contract AMC with my clients, ensuring that I am always there to help them in all of their future development needs.
