The development phase: turning planning into action
During the development phase, planning turns to action. This is the stage at which program components, create templates, customize and integrate third-party software and populate content.
A technology-neutral approach
At RealDecoy we take a technology-neutral approach to web development. We recommend the technologies that best suit each client’s specific requirements. Our expertise span many types of web technologies and various solutions, including content management, enterprise search and faceted navigation.
Standards-based development
We follow best practices and standards for web development to produce systems that are scalable, extensible, accessible and usable. We follow the standards that are most relevant to your project, whether they’re global (like those defined by W3C or ISO) or unique to your organization (such as the Government of Canada’s Common Look and Feel). The end result is a project that integrates seamlessly with the rest of your organization.
Choosing the right development methodology
Development methodologies aren’t all the same. Whether your project requires an agile approach or a more structured linear process, we choose the right methodology to suit. As part of our investigation and planning phase we recommend the approach that best suits your project, budget and timelines.
A customized approach
We develop custom functional components that can integrate with existing third-party systems. We incorporate new systems or tie into existing applications and databases containing your legacy data. In addition, we often customize elements of third-party applications to improve how they work for your project.
Migrating content
We have deep content migration experience. Our expert team transitions both English and French content to new sites and systems accurately and efficiently.
