What is the average time you take to develop a website?
The overall time to build a website depends on several factors. The first one is the complexity of the project. A static website usually takes less time than eCommerce websites or websites that require flash development. Some minor or major changes may increase the time limit. An average time taken by our web developer for a static website will be lesser than a website with flash and other dynamic graphics. Nevertheless, to develop complex websites such as eCommerce website takes a bit more time.
What’s your USP as web development company?
Do you offer mobile device compatible website?

Of course, we do! It’s called as Responsive Web Designing. Our experts have hands on latest technology based on HTML5 and CSS3. We develop eye-catching and graphically convincing web designs that fit even on mobile devices. Nevertheless, you may have to specify this in your objectives before the project begins.

What design options you provide? Do you provide templates as options?

Yes, we do provide a few options. However, we encourage our buyers to be precise in their requirement and elements on the website depending upon what, we develop a few options. This saves time and money and fastens the process of web development.

How many changes I can make during the website development?

Generally, no company provides you with this. But Shah Infotech offers a couple of changes during website development other than the objectives specified. Nevertheless, we firmly suggest discussing and defining the scope and elements before project begins. This saves time, resources and money.

Do you provide web hosting as well?

We do it only if clients ask.

Do you have similar websites as mine designed earlier?

Over the last 15 years, we have developed thousands of websites for companies belonging to different industry verticals. Be it blogs, portals, ecommerce sites or enterprise-level sites, we have expertise and experience in every aspect of website development. We’d have to analyze your specific requirements to say with certainty that we have developed websites similar to yours. But more likely than not, you’ll find that we have worked on projects similar to yours.

What is your architecture to design or develop the websites? Do you have different frameworks?

We use standard architecture –Mobile View Controller (MVC), a type of UI separating the representation of information from the user interaction. We do have different frameworks and use as per the project type and demand.

What is the difference between Native App and Web Based App?
Native apps are built for specific platforms (e.g. iOS, Android, Windows Phone etc.). They are built using platforms’ native SDK and development platforms and are able to use some of specific features of device – e.g. Camera, Volume controller, speaker etc. The web based apps (also web-apps) run within the mobile browser and are virtually webpages that imitate the look of a native mobile UI. Such apps are advantageous over native apps as they give same user-experience on different smartphones. However, they can’t use some features of devices like native apps.
Do you develop mobile app for all platforms?
What if I want changes to be made in the app once it is launched or delivered?

If you want the changes to be made in the app, it will cost you. We recommend having the project scope defined before beginning the project to save time and money.

Do you also do marketing of Mobile apps?

Yes, we do.

Can you use the graphics / UI which I have created?

Yes, we can. You can hire us for just writing codes for programming.

Can I select my preferred developer? If yes, how do I do so?

You may choose your team if you’re going for a Evolving project scope model. You have to share with us the profile of ideal candidate and we’ll schedule interviews with you and our team member.

Is there a minimum limit for hiring developers under Evolving Scope model?
Is there any minimum period of hiring programmers for my project?

This is applicable for Evolving Scope model. We require that you hire a team for at least 3 months minimum – so that they get to know your objectives, align closely with your team (if you have) and ensure all critical aspects of the projects are taken care of. During this period – they’ll not work on any of the project except for yours. If you see you need shorter engagement, we’d recommend you go for a fixed price model.

Can I alter the scope of the during development?

Well, we always prefer that project scope is outlined and concluded upfront in case of Fixed Scope model (as the name suggests). Obviously, it is purely due to the planning and expectations set in terms of timeline and cost. While in the case of Evolving Scope model, you’re free to make alterations because you’ll be directly driving the team here – giving you enough room to set new goals, scope, timelines and everything else. Although – even in the later case, we recommend you plan small, execute it and then set up new goals.

Certainly. We will share our holiday calendar upon initiation process – and will also keep you informed a week in advance for any public holiday.
