We employ a rapid deployment approach to building websites which means that we want to get sites built and launched as quickly as possible. Every website project can be divided into various pieces and either Website Pipeline or the customer has the responsibility for each piece. Our goal is to have the first 2 steps, Build Base website and ERP Integration, completed within 30 days. This produces a functioning website containing the data from the test company file. The table below shows the various steps and who is responsible for each step.
