Our process

Portside development process
Requirements
We work with your team to understand what you are trying to achieve and help draft product requirements.
Product design
We design the product, usually enabling you to interact with a clickable mock-up, so you know exactly what the product will do when built.
Development
Once product design is approved, we begin development work. Frequently, we recommend product design changes at this stage, once we understand your data / integration dependencies better.
Deployment
We work with you to effectively deploy the product to your internal users, stakeholders and owners, and frequently update the product when we have live feedback.
