PHP Services
Given that PHP is a development platform a project can take many forms. As a PHP web development company, our project typically involve a customer coming to us with a requirement. This requirement can be for a web site, a web application or even the deployment of opensource solutions.
We often fix price the project work for them, although we also on occasion provide a PHP developer for them on a monthly basis and they direct their activities. Web development in PHP is the same as any development project and consists of the same set of stages (Requirements definition, development work, testing/verification, and deployment into production). These stages vary from methodology to methodology slightly and can be broken down many ways but in the end the stages are substantially the same. In our experience from the hundreds projects we have done, the keys to a successful project lie in good communications between all parties. This can be evidenced by the existence of a clear specification document, ongoing dialog between the parties, and well set (leading to well met) expectations.
If you look at a PHP developer resume from someone on our team you can easily see many projects and all them would serve as a good example, but there’s a recent project we have completed for a customer (another PHP web development company!) that was complex and interesting. The other company sold a set of services and was overwhelmed with work and needed another PHP web development company to subcontract some of the work to. We were fortunate to have been selected and we began work immediately. The reason this was a great project is that was a really clear well-written specification document that we were working from. We held a clarification call with the client early on and then began work. We had regular status meetings where we had direct access to the customer and we progressed well. We were on time and on budget and we attribute most of this success to the excellent level of communications that flowed throughout the project.
The stages for this deal were;
1) Sales Cycle
- this was short as we had an established relationship with the PHP web development company
2) Requirements gathering
- this was also short as the document had already been created. We asked for clarifications and made a round of revisions, and had the client sign off on it
3) Development
- this took the 4 weeks we had originally estimated and since we had fix priced our php programmer for hire, we were especially glad to be on time
4) Testing
- the client performed user acceptance testing (we had already performed unit testing and system testing as part of the development stage). We remediated the bugs found by the customer and delivered a clean build.
5) Deployment into production
- after a clean test cycle we deployed the code into production and monitored it for a couple of days as it began to be heavily trafficked. All was well!
