:: 8. Preliminary Discovery
This initial idea meeting determines the fundamental objectives of the project and focuses on the client's ultimate business goals.
:: 7. Preliminary Analysis & Recommendations
GravityFree analysts review the Preliminary Discovery notes, perform research, and formulate high-level recommendations for the direction of the project.
:: 6. Proposal for Services
A proposal is submitted for the project in two stages. Stage one is a price proposal to create a working prototype of the project. Stage two is merely an estimate of the actual cost of the project. A fixed cost for the entire project is determined after the working prototype is complete.
:: 5. Full Discovery
In discovery meetings GravityFree analysts document the details and full scope of the proposed solution. This ensures that the strategy and tactics will meet the business goals of the client and the target audience.
:: 4. Functional Prototyping (wireframe model)
Next, the client works with a GravityFree Systems Architect and Creative Team to design a working prototype known as a wireframe model. Upon confirmation of functionality by the client, functional freeze occurs. The end result, complete with written documentation, serves as a three dimensional blueprint for the project lifecycle.
:: 3. Graphical Prototyping (look and feel)
Next, Gravity Free artists will design several versions of the Graphical User Interface (GUI). Upon approval of the general GUI, GravityFree artists create individual page-level graphics. The complete graphical interface is then integrated with the wireframe model.
:: 2. Programming
The completed wireframe prototype next moves to a GravityFree programming team. Using the deliverables from the prototyping process, the production process moves swiftly. Very few changes are made at this point allowing for focused attention on building exactly what the client has approved.
:: 1. Final Testing
With a working "beta" application it's time for final testing and quality assurance. GravityFree ensures that the design and code is completely bug free, holds up to all standards independent of the bandwidth, browser and platform of the user, and is designed with evolving technology in mind.
:: 0. Launch
On time and under budget. Next, projects move to GravityFree maintenance and hosting services for complete, reliable post-production solutions.
