Quality
as cornerstone
Quality is many things to many people. For large-scale,
high-tech projects, quality is defined by a standard which
prescribes five levels of increasingly organized development
process.
For small business purposes, we encapsulate the above
ponderous statement in a small but just as comprehensive
sentence. Quality is adherence to internal standards and
external expectations.
Using an internal reference, a high degree of quality
will be achieved by setting the right goals and reaching
them. Goals like zero defects, flawless graphics and clear
and simple content. But meeting your own quality goals
is only looking from one end of things. Despite how we
define quality, we know that goals and expectations are
as different as clients are.
The second definition of quality can be stated as "meeting
or exceeding the customers expectations."
At Brightwebsights, we have developed a time-proven core
set of quality goals. Also, prior to commencing any development
job, we will confer with our client to make sure we understand
their requirements and expectations. In addition, at critical
point along the development process, we will re-assess
our understanding in the client's presence.

OUR
Four Flags
Earlier in the history of Brightwebsights, we were searching
for the right words to express our commitment to our clients'
projects. Four ideas sum up the commitment we build into
every job. They are respect, caring, honesty, and responsibility.
These flags we fly in our hearts.
RESPECT
We respect you, our client and the project you bring
to us. We understand that your work is very important
to you. And so it is very important to us. We strive to
understand exactly what your needs, desires, and requirements
are, but also what are your hopes and dreams and long
term goals for your project are. When believe we understand,
we will document it and review it all with you to be certain.
CARING
We care about what is important to you. Our care is demonstrated
in each step of the development of your project. In website
development, for example. the attention to detail, the
fit and finish of your project is scrutinized down to
the pixel. Every link will be tested, every function,
every database record will be reviewed for accuracy. After
development has completed, a full battery of tests are
executed. Once your project is published or turned over
to you, we proactively stand behind our zero-defect unlimited
guarantee. We contact you after delivery to make sure
that you are satisfied, that your expectations are met,
and that there have been no defects that have come to
your attention.
HONESTY
We are up front about our capabilities, our costs, our
schedules. We stand behind every statement we make. Your
job will be completed as scheduled, at cost, as promised.
If we can't develop a requested feature or function, and
can't get the job done by our sub-contractor pool, we'll
tell you up front We know that in the end, it's a lot
easier to promise only what can be delivered.
RESPONSIBILITY
We take responsibility for the state of your project
before, during and after development. As our direct client,
you benefit from our proactive stance in dealing with
third-party vendors and sub-contractors. We become your
web-master advocate, your network maintenance-advocate
and your computer serviceman-advocate. |
METHODOLOGY
We select a development methodology that is appropriate
for the size of the job.
For enterprise-level jobs, we assign a project manager
or PM. The PM is responsible for developing the project
budget and pricing estimate; sizing the job for human
resources; developing the project plan and schedule, and
managing the day-to-day development through each phase
of the development life-cycle. The typical enterprise
project team will include developers, assistants, graphics
designers, testers/QA, and the project manager. Each team
member focuses on different phases of the development
life-cycle.
For enterprise-level contracts, the phases are typically:
- Requirements (definition & analysis)
- Design Phase
- Development (construction)
- Test Phase
- Publishing/Delivery
- Production
Small businesses are necessarily working with smaller
budgets and shorter schedules.
Excellent and Inexpensive
In addition, Brightwebsights creates complete Internet
solutions that are uniquely customized from high quality
templates created by some of the best designers designers
on the web.
Prices vary from just a few hundred to a few thousand,
based on scale of the project, features and functions.
Even if you could find a lower price, it is important
to understand that not everyone can actually do the job
nor do it well. Not everyone will stand 100% behind their
work after it is published and further, act as your advocate
in dealing with third-party vendors, such as web hosting
companies. Brightwebsights does all of this for as the
normal course of business. Please contact using the contact
