# Web App Development

As a software development company with an extensive range of
technical skills, Not **Just** Code has a wealth of
experience and expertise in bringing to market Web App projects
of all sizes.

Through these projects, we have developed a reliable and
efficient process for turning your idea into a reality.

## Design

In this phase, we take the requirements specification from
the previous stage and prescribe exactly how we're going to
meet every part of it. Once we've finished this stage, we
deliver a Design Specification, which gives a full, detailed
breakdown of exactly how the proposed implementation will
work, including a project plan with timelines for delivery.

## Interface Design

We believe in consistent and intuitive user interfaces. A
good user interface lowers barriers for the adoption of
systems and reduces the need for upfront training and ongoing
support calls. This allows a system to scale in terms of
customers and users without creating an additional support
burden.

## Implementation

With the technical and aesthetic designs in hand, we're able
to work through each one, writing the code and connecting the
technologies that we decided on during the design phase. In
this way, we are able to reliably deliver on the project plan
to bring you the results we agreed.

On completion of this stage, we deliver full source code for
the project, with complete build and installation
instructions, even if the project's scope includes Not
**Just** Code deploying the system to a
production server.

### Documentation

All code is fully documented at the time of writing (rather
than being a task tagged onto the end of the project as an
afterthought). This means it’s clear to any qualified
technical expert how the system was implemented and how to
alter it safely and quickly.

### Coding Standard

The Not **Just** Code coding standard
documents the rules which must be adhered to when writing
code. The standard facilitates the development of high
quality, reliable, readable code. This eradicates quirky or
personal coding styles and ensures that delivered code is
consistent and therefore easier to maintain.

### Peer Review

Every part of the implementation is subject to full peer
review. This means that another engineer looks over each part
of the implementation and signs off on it before it is added
to the code base.

### Testing

Before submitting a code review all code is tested locally by
the responsible developer. Depending on the project’s chosen
methodology this can include automated unit tests,
integration tests, regression tests and deployment tests in
addition to manual tests.

## Deployment

The use of automated deployment scripts means that manual
interaction with servers is kept to a minimum and lowers the
risks associated with human error. This process dovetails
nicely into a full backup and disaster recovery strategy so
that in the highly unlikely event of a full server failure
the system can be back up and running in the shortest
possible time. Automated deployment also provides a safe
method for updates and modifications to be made in the
future.

## Training & Support

We are more than happy to provide training for our clients,
and this is usually carried out during the final stages of
the implementation phase. That way, you're ready to take full
advantage of the new technology as soon as it goes live.

In terms of ongoing support, we are happy to negotiate a
structure for this as the project moves forward. From
hourly-rate, no-commitment arrangements to fixed-price
all-inclusive deals, we can provide you with the best fit for
how you operate.

## Changes

While the process that we've outlined does a great job of
making sure everything is right the first time, we understand
that sometimes change is unavoidable. After all, there are
times when some aspects of a project only become apparent
once it's started. For this reason, we work with you to
minimise the impact of changes on both cost and lead times by
bringing to bear our full engineering expertise.
