Our Web Development Process — From Problem to Solution, No Guesswork

We've built custom applications for over a decade. Our process is designed to minimize risk, maximize collaboration, and deliver results that actually work for your business.

Not every project is the same, and our process reflects that. Some projects need a tight scope and fixed budgets. Others need flexibility to evolve. Either way, you'll always know where things stand — what's done, what's next, and whether we're tracking to plan.

AI tools accelerate the mechanical work — code generation, testing, documentation — while our team focuses on the strategic decisions and creative problem-solving that make each project unique.

Two approaches, one commitment to transparency

Fixed price and scope

For well-defined projects with clear requirements, timelines, and budget boundaries. We define the scope together, agree on deliverables, and execute within those parameters. Best for projects where you know what you need and want predictable costs

Agile / Flex-Time

For projects where requirements are still emerging, priorities shift, or you need to start building while the picture gets clearer. We work in sprints, deliver incrementally, and adjust based on feedback. Best for complex or evolving projects where flexibility matters more than a fixed price.

Good for well-defined, detailed scope of work.

Requirements analysis

This is our requirements analysis phase. We’ll take the time to learn as much about your business, market, and goals as possible — from you as well as our own research. In the end, we’ll have sorted out:

The value proposition
The list of features (necessary and nice-to-have)
A competitor analysis
A risk assessment

For highly specialized products, we may also have one of our business analysts with domain knowledge weigh in. We’ll need their expertise to properly analyze and document things like:

Product vision
Project scope
Functional and non-functional requirements
UI components
Data flows

Estimated costs

Once we’ve defined the parameters of the project, we’ll put together a Statement of Work (SOW) that details the job in its entirety:

Scope of the project
Stages and timeline
Final costs

Both you and Convergine will need to approve and sign this agreement before we move on.

UX and UI Design

Although we want to help you achieve your business goals, the user must always come first.

That’s why we dedicate an entire stage to user experience (UX) and user interface (UI) strategy and design techniques. This allows us to test and fine-tune not only the aesthetics of your solution, but the intuitiveness of the user journey itself.

Development and quality assurance 

At this stage, we translate design into code, taking your solution from working model to operational product.

However, this isn’t just about coding. We go through multiple rounds of quality assurance testing and updates to ensure that all the original requirements have been met. These will be done in short iterations to allow for a frequent feedback loop.

User acceptance testing 

Prior to deployment, we’ll conduct a rigorous process of user acceptance testing. By putting the solution into the hands of real users, we’ll find out if there are any further improvements needed. These tests may include functionality, security, content, and usability testing.

Deployment

With all requirements met and approvals in hand, it’s time to deploy your solution. We won’t just hit the “Publish” button though. We’ll prepare a launch strategy, run it by you, and then implement when you’re ready.

Agile / flex time estimates

Good for projects with undefined scope of work (agile) or upmost urgency.

Discovery

This is our requirements gathering phase. We’ll take the time to learn as much about your business, market, and goals as possible — from you as well as our own research. In the end, we’ll have sorted out:

The value proposition
The list of features (necessary
and nice-to-have)
A competitor analysis
A risk assessment

MVP requirements analysis

If we’re going to release your product while it’s still in production, we need to know what that minimum viable product (or MVP) is. Essentially, we need to establish the baseline features and functionality that will satisfy early users.

Project planning

At this stage, we create app specifications, wireframes, and working prototypes to start collecting early feedback on the solution. This will allow us to test the viability of the solution while also assessing the feasibility and cost of the features outlined.

This is when we start to work out the kinks.

Although we want to help you achieve your business goals, the user must always come first.

Iterative development

We break this stage into two- to three-week sprints. This allows us to build the MVP based on which features are the highest priority. We’ll chip away at each of the features, making time to test them with users and collect feedback to ensure that every piece of the application is rock-solid.

Validation

At this point, we want you to fully review the solution and provide us with feedback. Did we build all of the required features? Do they work as hoped? Have we met your objectives?

Because we’re often working without a scope in these kinds of projects, it’s critical to get your validation on what we’ve built. If there are issues or gaps in the product, we’ll go back to the product, revise, test, and validate again and again until you’re 100% satisfied.

Have a project to discuss?

Whether you have detailed requirements or just a problem that needs solving, our process is designed to get from here to a working solution efficiently and transparently.
