2. Does the content motivate your visitor to initiate a relationship with you?

3. Is your brand used consistently throughout the site? Is it clear who you are and what you offer?

4. Are the pages correctly displayed across different devices and browsers?

5. How easily can one find the website via keyword internet searches?

Starting a business can be pretty overwhelming because there is so much to do and big decisions to make. I help new organizations determine what needs to be in place to officially launch so that they are setup for success. I accomplish this by examining the following:

​​

1. What is your business name, logo, etc.? What do you want to be known for?

2. What do you have to offer and how will it be accessed and delivered?

3. When and how will payments be made?

4. Do you need to track inventory?

5. How are you planning to manage your books?

6. Are you going to track customer information? How and when are you going to interact with your customers?

7. How are you going to manage your schedule? How will your clients schedule a meeting with you?

8. How are you going to market your services and offerings?

I assist established organizations in evaluating how well their software, data, and processes are working to support their business by reviewing the following aspects:

​​

1. What are your offerings? How are they being marketed? When and how are purchases made?

2. How are you managing your books and are they integrated with receivables and payables?

3. How are your offers being delivered? Have you had any issues with scheduling or distribution? How are you managing inventory?

4. How are you tracking customer information? How and when do you interact with your customers and vice versa? How satisfied are your customers?

5. Are you aware of any inefficient processes? Are there any tasks that are susceptible to errors or are frequently skipped? Do you have the same information in multiple places that you need to manually synchronize?

6. Do you create reports? If so, how are you creating them?

When you are ready to invest in your business, the first step is to work together to clearly define what is needed from every vantage point:

​

1. Business: What are the goals, objectives, and outcomes that describe why a change has been initiated?

2. Stakeholder: Who has a stake in the project and what must be met in order to achieve the business requirements?

3. Functional: What behavior and information must the solution manage?

4. Non-functional: What are the conditions under which a solution must remain effective or qualities that a solution must have?

5. Transition: What conditions must be met to facilitate transition from the current state to the future state, but which are not needed once the change is complete?

​​​

You will receive a Requirements document - everything that is needed to proceed with designing the Solution and an estimate to Design & Plan the project.

During this phase, the following tasks are performed:

​

1. The Requirements are used to determine the optimal Solution Architecture with just enough detail to determine the cost, time and people needed to deliver the proposed changes.  The Solution Architecture is a blueprint outlining how different software components (like databases, user interfaces, and networks) will work together to achieve desired functionality, scalability, and performance. ​

2. The hardware, software and/or hosting providers are selected.

3. The tasks required to deliver the solution are identified.

4. The time to complete those tasks is estimated.

5. A Quote using the costs and timeline to deliver the solution is prepared.

​​

You will receive everything you need to make an informed decisions regarding the future of your organization.
