Project Management

Collaboration and Technical Expertise

Modern digital projects are sizeable in scope and complex, requiring co-ordination of a wide-range of industry specialists to deliver. So many suppliers under-estimate the work involved in producing a world-class destination web presence and everyone has heard of horror stories where projects end up taking far longer and costing far more than originally intended.

Simpleview however has been doing this for over 20 years and we pride ourselves on leading our clients through the entire process in as painless a way as possible. Based on collaboration and technology expertise, and carefully reviewed-over time, our design and build process has evolved into a refined, 12-step method, meticulously designed to provide the best experience for our clients and streamline internal workflow.

This proven design process reduced turnaround time from the project kick-off to design approval by more than 60%, and over 30% of the website designs presented were approved as is. Some recent design presentations even received client approval on the spot, an impressive accomplishment for all involved and a testament to prudent planning and communication.

Website development is an intensely collaborative process, with deliverables and deadlines on both sides. We are aware that you would like the site to be live as soon as possible and will work with you to confirm a project schedule that is achievable for you. The lynchpin in any site development is the design phase, the length of which hinges on how much time clients need for review. In most cases, when designs meet quick approval, we can complete the entire process in as little as 4 months.
