”Word of mouth”
WWDC:
Describe how you manage projects from the initial client contact to completion and handover.
YellowHawk Ltd:
”Depending on the size of the project we follow an initial discussion (phone or face-to-face) with:
+ Technical requirements agreement (if the client is non-technical and doesn't provide this themselves).
+ Proposal with fixed pricing
+ Prototype development for comment
+ Live site available on a temporary URL for client to add additional copy
+ Live
We provide a 'full solution' including hosting and support so generally our projects don't "end" at the handover.”
