At NS Web Solutions, we won't be handing you an off-the-shelf product, saying "Congratulations! Now you're on the Web," and wishing you on your merry way (unlesss that's what you want — see our economical line of rapid-build website design packages). Instead, we work with you to design exactly the solution you need for today, and then make sure it's built for growth into the future.

A website development project with any meaningful level of cusomization will carry with it a certain amount of complexity. The clients' needs can change during the course of the project. As new business goals emerge, a website that's half-way built can suddenly expected to do things no one had thought of before. New technologies can present unforeseen challenges. New ideas and opportunities emerge for one part of the project only after another part has been built.

To help manage the complexity of website development, NS Web Solutions operates with a very agile and flexible production model. Rather than fighting against complexity, or taking wild swings in the dark attempting to anticipate every possible change, we work to embrace change as it comes. This approach helps us to ensure that our client gets immediate value in the short term, coupled with maximum flexibility in the long term.

Our process is built on these basic principles:

1. Conduct work in a series of short iterations, normally 2 or 4 weeks.
2. At the end of each iteration period, present to the client a fully functional self-contained product; this may be a written specification, graphic design, functional website, functional new features, or other elements which the client can immediately use.
3. Continually work with the client to prioritize work items for each iteration period.
4. Continue the project until all tasks are complete, or until a pre-determined fixed budgeting milestone has been reached.

This process of course requires a client representative to be actively involved in the project as it is being developed, which again increases the effectiveness of the final product. In fact, the client representative serves as one of the most important members of the project team.

All together, these elements make for a process that's stable, results-driven, and productive. Complexity and change are almost a given on all but the simplest projects. By embracing change and building in flexibility, we provide high-value solutions to clients in every stage of development.
