A General question in the software development industry is why use Custom Software Developers instead of going the template route. The short answer is flexibility and complete customization of your software to fit your company’s specific needs.
Custom software development allows our software engineers to sit down with you and your coworkers and pin down exactly what your needs are, what challenges you are facing and what final product you are looking for. We provide advice and guidance along the way to accurately spec your software.
From the design phase you would be able to see exactly how your software will behave and what the user interface would be like; this allows you the opportunity to make final tweaks and changes before we move to development phase. With template software on the other hand you are somewhat stuck with what the template provides and there is no one size fits all. This often results in developers having to write hacks and roundabout solutions which takes longer, costs money and ultimately ends up a mess with what we like to call spaghetti code.

Examples:
DotClick was established in 2003 and has delivered numerous successful projects to top brands in various market sectors. Due to the complex nature of cloud based software development we have created a phased approach to software development that drastically minimizes miscommunication and lost time.
This phased approach keeps the client in the loop at all times and ensures the client knows from the get go what they can expect and how the software will work before money is spent on actual development. The phased approach works as follow:
We meet with the clients and introduce our portfolio. Once the client has established that we are the right fit for their company we move straight on to pinning down a spec for the project. The client will take us through an overview of the company, brand identity and the specific software need they have. We will ask questions and make notes and then explain our understanding of the project, “white board style”. This will allow the client to make corrections right there and then. Once we have a formal project specification document signed off, we will move on to the next phase.
DotClick will put together wireframe diagrams explaining how the software will function. The wireframes will contain all the elements of the software just the way we foresee how the final software will operate. A Wireframe is basically the outlay of the software without the images and aesthetic elements. This will allow the client to come back to us with changes if there are any. We will send new wireframes with the changes implemented. Once these are signed off, we move to Phase 3.
The graphic designers will take the wireframes and build an aesthetically pleasing responsive interface in line with our wireframes. We then add basic operational functions such as click throughs and navigation to these designs so the client can get an overview of how it all fits together. We will then provide the client with a link to the designs where they can browse around and make some notes. If there are any changes to the designs it is very important to let us know at this stage because once the actual designs are signed off the development process will start.
During this phase the development of the actual software starts. Depending on the size of the project we will break it up into mile stones and at the end of each milestone we will involve the client in the process. A link will be provided for each phase where the client can monitor progress and provide online feedback.
Once development is completed, we will send the final link to our user acceptance testing and beta testing team who will run extensive tests on the software. Their job is to try and break the software. They will report back to us with a list of bugs and faults which we would then correct. After this phase we move to the final signoff phase.
At this stage the client will receive a link with the tested software. Once the client gives us approval, we will take the software live.
Our team is highly skilled with deploying large, complex, and high-visibility software systems and apps.
This is a custom option that our clients can sign up for which we will discuss in the first and last meeting with the client.
We design and build custom software solutions, on-time & on-budget to meet requirements.
Our systems, applications and apps provide businesses with an edge.
DotClick is a Boutique Website Design and Creative Agency that focuses on specialised work for a limited client list.
