Project Delivery & Timeline

01 Timeline Estimation Process

Our timeline estimates are based on a comprehensive analysis of your project requirements:

• Scope Assessment: We evaluate the complexity, number of pages, features, and integrations required.
• Design Complexity: Custom designs take longer than template-based implementations.
• Content Readiness: Timelines assume the Client will provide content, images, and information promptly.
• Third-Party Dependencies: Integration with external platforms may add development time.
• Testing & QA: Comprehensive testing across browsers, devices, and functionality is built into timelines.
• Buffer Time: We typically include a 10-15% buffer for unexpected issues or refinements.

02 Project Phases & Milestones

Most projects follow a structured phased approach with clear deliverables and milestones:

• Phase 1 - Discovery & Planning (Days 1-5): Requirement gathering, competitor analysis, project roadmap creation, and deliverable documentation.
• Phase 2 - Design & Concepts (Days 5-15): Wireframing, mockups, design concepts, and Client approval rounds.
• Phase 3 - Development (Days 15-40): Frontend development, backend coding, database setup, API integrations, and feature implementation.
• Phase 4 - Integration & Testing (Days 40-50): Third-party integrations, payment gateway setup, security testing, and functionality QA.
• Phase 5 - Revisions & Refinements (Days 50-55): Client feedback incorporation, final tweaks, and optimization.
• Phase 6 - Deployment & Launch (Days 55-60): Final testing, domain configuration, SSL setup, and live deployment.
• Phase 7 - Support & Handover (Days 60-90): 30-day post-launch support, monitoring, and training.

03 Factors Affecting Project Timeline

Several factors can impact project delivery schedules:

• Client Content Delivery: Delays in providing text, images, product information, or credentials can extend timelines significantly.
• Approval Delays: Slow decision-making or multiple approval rounds can push back milestones.
• Change Requests: Adding features or modifying scope mid-project requires timeline adjustments.
• Technical Complexity: Custom integrations, API development, or advanced features may require additional development time.
• Third-Party Dependencies: External systems, payment processors, or hosting providers may have setup delays.
• Communication Gaps: Unclear requirements or misaligned expectations can cause rework and delays.
• Revision Rounds: Design revisions beyond the included rounds will extend the timeline.
• Testing Issues: Bug discovery during QA may require additional fixes before launch.

04 Timeline Management & Communication

We maintain transparent communication throughout the project lifecycle:

• Project Schedule: A detailed Gantt chart or timeline document is provided at project kickoff showing all phases and milestones.
• Weekly Updates: Progress updates are sent via email or shared through project management tools every week.
• Status Dashboard: Real-time project status is available through our project management platform for Client visibility.
• Milestone Notifications: You'll receive notifications when phases are completed and ready for review.
• Delay Communication: If delays occur, we communicate immediately with reasons and revised timelines.
• Change Management: Any scope changes are documented with timeline impact assessments.

05 Standard Project Timeline Ranges

Typical project timelines vary based on complexity and scope:

• Simple Website (5-10 Pages): 20-30 days | Estimated Cost: ₹40,000 - ₹80,000
• Standard Website (10-20 Pages): 30-45 days | Estimated Cost: ₹80,000 - ₹1,50,000
• Complex Website (20+ Pages, Custom Features): 45-90 days | Estimated Cost: ₹1,50,000 - ₹4,00,000
• E-commerce Store (Basic): 35-50 days | Estimated Cost: ₹1,00,000 - ₹2,00,000
• E-commerce Store (Advanced): 50-75 days | Estimated Cost: ₹2,00,000 - ₹5,00,000
• Web Application Development: 60-120+ days | Custom pricing based on complexity

06 Client Responsibilities for Timeline Adherence

Project timelines depend significantly on Client cooperation and timely responses:

• Prompt Content Delivery: Provide all text, images, logos, and media within 2-3 days of request.
• Timely Approvals: Review deliverables and provide feedback within 3-5 business days.
• Decision Making: Make design and feature decisions promptly to avoid decision bottlenecks.
• Access & Credentials: Provide hosting, domain, and third-party account access without delay.
• Communication Availability: Be available for meetings, calls, and discussions when needed.
• Clear Feedback: Provide specific, actionable feedback rather than vague revision requests.

07 Expedited & Rush Projects

For urgent projects with tight deadlines:

• Rush Fee: Projects with shorter timelines may incur a rush fee of 25-50% depending on urgency.
• Resource Allocation: We can allocate additional team members to compress timelines.
• Overtime Work: Evening and weekend work may be necessary for expedited projects.
• Quality Assurance: Shortened timelines may limit revision rounds; quality standards remain high but flexibility is reduced.
• Availability: Rush projects require high availability from the Client for quick approvals and decision-making.

08 Milestone Payments & Delivery

For larger projects, payments are often structured around project milestones:

• 30-50% Deposit: Due before project commences
• Mid-Project Payment (25%): Due when design phase is complete and approved
• Pre-Launch Payment (25%): Due when development and testing are complete
• Final Payment (Remainder): Due upon final delivery and before website goes live

Deliverables are released progressively as payments are received. Final deliverables and domain transfer occur only after full payment.

09 Post-Launch Support & Monitoring

After your project goes live, we provide comprehensive support:

• 30-Day Warranty: Free bug fixes and issues directly related to our development.
• Performance Monitoring: We monitor uptime, loading speed, and functionality daily.
• Security Updates: Core system and plugin updates are applied promptly for security.
• Backup Management: Daily or weekly backups ensure your data is protected.
• Support Tickets: Quick response times for any issues or urgent needs.
• Optimization: Performance tweaks and optimization recommendations based on analytics.

10 Managing Timeline Changes & Delays

When timeline adjustments become necessary:

• Immediate Notification: We inform you immediately of any anticipated delays.
• Root Cause Analysis: We identify whether delays are due to Client actions or internal factors.
• Revised Timeline: An updated timeline with clear milestones is provided.
• Mitigation Plan: We outline steps being taken to minimize further delays.
• Compensation: For delays caused by us beyond our control, we may offer service credits or extended support.
• Documentation: All timeline adjustments are documented and communicated in writing.

11 Quality vs. Speed Trade-offs

We believe quality should never be sacrificed for speed:

• Quality First: Even on accelerated timelines, we maintain our high quality standards.
• Testing Commitment: Comprehensive testing is never skipped regardless of timeline pressure.
• Security Standards: Security best practices and data protection measures are always implemented.
• Performance Optimization: Sites are optimized for speed and performance, not rushed to launch.
• Documentation: Complete documentation and handover materials are always provided.
