Website Discovery Project
I offer a Website Discovery project as a low-cost, flat-rate service that allows me to explore a deliverable in-depth and see what it would take to accomplish it.
I helped a skydiving company recover from some bad coding practices of a previous developer. My client couldn't perform security and feature updates without breaking their online store! The discovery project allowed me to analyze their codebase and determine the scope, impact, duration, and cost to get them safe & secure, and able to perform regular updates in the future. Their clear understanding allowed them to budget appropriately and schedule the work in a way that had a minimal downtime.
A website discovery project includes the following:
- A discussion to review the task and lay out a clear deliverable.
- A timeline so that you know when to expect your results.
- A list of anything that we might need from you.
- A detailed review of the deliverable, usually via a screen sharing (Zoom, Skype, etc.) session.
I helped an author understand what it would take to add some advanced animations and transitions to the deeply immersive website they created for fans of their books. I was able to do it in a way that allowed us to try things out (and sometimes break things) without any impact to the existing website.
