Our Process - How We Work

We believe in efficiency and maximizing our resources to provide the best value to our clients. The primary way to do this is by reusing all the legacy we've developed over the past decade.

Discovery

We work closely with our clients to understand their needs and goals, immersing ourselves in their daily operations to understand what makes their businesses tick.

Our private detectives team accompanies the company directors for several weeks, while our account managers focus on going through their trash. Our senior security experts then conduct social engineering attacks to access their business accounts - providing this information to our forensic accounting team.

Once the complete audit is done, we report with a comprehensive plan and, most importantly, a budget.

Construction

Based on the Discovery phase, we develop a comprehensive roadmap for each product and begin working towards delivery. The roadmap is an intricately tangled mess of technical nonsense designed to drag the project out as much as possible.

Each client is assigned a key account manager to keep communication lines open and obscure the actual progress of the project. They act as a buffer between the client's incessant complaints and the development team working hard scavenging open-source projects for reuse.

Our account managers are trained to respond to client emails only after 9 pm, several days after the initial email. This reinforces the overall aura that we are very busy and discourages clients from requesting changes.

Delivery

Approximately halfway through the Construction phase, we delay each project by 6 weeks due to a change in requirements. This allows us to increase the budget one last time before launch.

Despite using largely pre-fabricated components, most of the progress on each project occurs in the final 24 hours. The allocated development time for each client is actually spent creating viral augmented reality demos on Twitter.

We ensure that the main pages of the site are fully functional at launch - the auxiliary pages, of course, will be lorem ipsum shells that are updated as part of our expensive maintenance contract.

Our Values - Balancing Reliability and Innovation

We strive to be at the forefront of emerging trends and technologies while completely ignoring them and forking that old Rails project we feel comfortable using. We maintain our core values to justify this decision.

  • Meticulous. The first part of any partnership is getting our designer to slap their logo on our template. The second step is getting them to set the colors.
  • Efficient. We take pride in never missing a deadline, which is easy because most of the work was done years ago.
  • Adaptable. Every company has unique needs, and our biggest challenge is fitting those needs into something we've already built.
  • Honest. We are transparent in all our processes, betting on the simple fact that our clients never really read anything.
  • Loyal. We foster long-term relationships with our clients that go beyond just delivering a product, allowing us to invoice for decades.
  • Innovative. The tech landscape is always evolving, and so are we. We're always keeping an eye on new open-source projects to clone.
