Discover how we work.

01

Initial Meeting & Quotation

The first step in any project is to discover your needs. We'll set up a time to talk either in-person, or if you'd prefer, over the phone, Skype, or any other tool you'd like. During the call, we'll move through the discovery process - about a one-hour meeting to fully grasp your needs.

During this, we'll define goals, objectives, milestones, and stakeholders. After a thorough understanding of what you need, we'll draw up an estimate and quote for you. Our turnaround time on estimates is approximately one business day; however, larger projects may require more time.

02

Develop Objectives

Objectives are the key to any successful project. By using goal-oriented development and planning, it optimizes our time, our workflow, and your budget. By setting goals with metrics, you’re able to measure results and analyze your ROI.

During this step, we refine lofty ideas and mold them into tangible, achievable goal sets with measurable metrics. Once these are defined, the success point of the project should be self-evident, allowing us to move forward into the development phase.

03

Execute the Plan

Here, we turn your project into reality. From sketching a concept through a final product, we take immense care in what we do. During this portion of the project, you'll get weekly check-ins from us with status updates and, if applicable, screenshots or links to a development site.

You will work with us on revisions and review over the course of this section. At The Studio, we find it mission-critical to keep our clients involved in the project.

04

Review the Product

After executing the plan, we set aside a block of time to ensure the quality of our product. We take the time to thoroughly test and benchmark our work to be able to promise the quality of product that we do. We will also work with you to do a final check of the site and implement any final changes you have.

Time and time again, we've watched others in our industry ignore this critical piece of the project. Surely, you'd have an editor go over the final draft of your novel you've written. Why not the application or website you're building?

05

Launch and Training

This is probably the most exciting part of the project - taking everything live. During the launch process of the project, we'll tie up any loose ends in the code and triple check that everything is working for you.

Finally, we'll deliver you documentation and video screencasts of how to use the administrative section of your site or application and provide plentiful training so that you feel comfortable using the tools you're provided.

Have some questions? Get some answers.

My project needs done ASAP. Is that possible?

The sooner you get in touch with us, the better off it will be. We can assist you in prioritizing what's crucial to your success and progress through the project from there. With four in-house web developers, we can turn your project around more quickly than just about anybody else.

If I come to you with a design already in mind, can you just build that?

Absolutely! However, it's always best to get in touch with us during the design phase so that we can assist in discovering any implementation hiccups that may occur along the way.

Websites, computers, and technology in general seem overwhelming to me. How hard is it going to be to work with you and the tools you build?

That's cool - we communicate in normal, everyday terms to ensure you understand what we're talking about. We keep the jargon to a minimum and aren't afraid to go the extra mile to ensure you have a complete understanding of what we're developing.

What if I have questions after the project is done?

When we launch our sites, we ensure that we take the time to not only train you on using the content management system, but we also provide screencast videos that show you exactly how to change just about everything on your site. That said, we love catching up with our clients. We're only just a phone call away!

What happens if we find a bug after we launch?

In the case of that occurring, we jump right on it. We take these types of issues incredibly seriously - which is why we offer an industry-leading 120 day support period after the project is launched. This includes answering questions about the content management system, fixing bugs, and training for anything related to our work.

Can you do _______ ?

You bet. Chances are that if you've seen it on the web, we've built something similar. Plus, we're not shy about working with different technologies, integrations, and frameworks. We have yet to encounter a project where we've said, "No way, you're crazy."

Seems like people have really nice things to say about us.

I appreciated the excellent customer service at Studio Ace of Spades. It was great to always deal with the same person. Jon treated any question — and the project as a whole — with respect. He returned phone calls promptly and met deadlines. The result was an attractive site that matched our needs and garnered many compliments.

The team at SAOS always puts me at ease when working on web projects. They are calm, cool, and collected and have a way of translating digital jargon in a way that I can understand it and communicate it back to my client.

I’ve worked with the SAOS team since 2012. They're professionals that truly understand web technologies, always advising along the way, so I know what my investment is going to accomplish. Whether it be while I was at an agency or for the occasional freelance project, I’ve turned to the SAOS team for many projects - design, websites, mobile app and digital strategy - they’ve done it all for me, and I have valued their guidance and knowledge.
