About this service

Summary

I am a seasoned Freelance/ Contract Web Developer with over 5 years of experience delivering full-stack web solutions from concept to deployment.

Very reliable and hard working.

A very good business and process mindset, so able to contribute in more ways than just code.

Process

Discovery & Requirements Gathering

My object is to understand your needs needs, define the project scope, and outline the core goals/features required.

•Kick-off workshops to clarify objectives and success metrics.

•Stakeholder interviews and questionnaires.

•Competitive/market research (if needed).

•Documenting user stories, requirements, and technical constraint.

•High-level project plan (timeline, budget, resources).

Design & Prototyping

Create the visual layout and user experience (UX). Develop wireframes and mock-ups to validate concepts before full development.

•UX research and user flow diagrams.

•Wireframes to outline site/app structure and navigation.

•Visual design concepts (UI design, style guides, brand elements).

•High-fidelity mockups or clickable prototypes for feedback.

Development

Build the solution according to the approved designs and requirements, integrating necessary functionality and ensuring performance standards.

•Setting up development environments and repositories.

•Front-end development (CSS/React)

•Back-end development (database design, API creation, server logic).

•Integration of third-party services or plugins (payment gateways, APIs, etc.).

•Regular check-ins and demos to track progress and gather feedback.

Testing & Refinement

Validate that the solution meets requirements, is user-friendly, and functions without critical issues before launch.

•Functional testing (front-end and back-end).

•Usability testing, feedback from end users/stakeholders.

•Bug fixing, refinements in UI/UX, performance optimization.

•Security checks and load testing (especially for e‑commerce/business apps).

Deployment & Maintenance

Launch the solution into the live environment and provide ongoing support, updates, and improvements.

•Final deployment to hosting environment or app store (if applicable).

•Post-launch verification (making sure everything is running correctly).

•Training and documentation handover (admin guides, user manuals).

•Scheduled maintenance and updates.

•Tracking performance metrics, user feedback, and iterative improvements.
