How Do We Develop a CMS?

We’ve refined our process of software engineering for more than a decade. Here are the key stages of our CMS development process.

01

Understanding your needs and goals

Firstly, we want to get a full picture of the client’s web content management needs. We consider their ideas and assess their technical viability. After that, we provide a project cost estimate.

02

Designing roadmap

Once we have exact software requirements, we define the scope for the future product. Our specialists create screen mockups, select the technical stack, and come up with a detailed project plan.

03

Development

During the development stage, we keep the client informed via status updates, demo sessions, etc. Moreover, we strive to keep our services as flexible as possible. In some cases, our team can adjust its course in the middle of the project.

05

Support and maintenance

We always remain at our client’s side to deal with any issues. Moreover, if the need arises, we can design and develop new features for your CMS.

04

Deployment

We set up all necessary integrations, backups, and dependencies. Also, collect early feedback from the users to improve the content management system if necessary.
