Q. How long does software development take?
A. We cannot possibly answer this question
precisely because there are projects finished in 2 to 3 weeks, but there are also tasks that
take several years to complete. To provide you with a precise answer, we have to evaluate
the project complexity and the work scope. Knowing this information, we can provide you with
the estimated time frame.
Q. How much will the SunShine Technologies developer's work
cost?
A. In SunShine Technologies, we pay our employees based on Projects Completion,
depending on the technology utilized and the experience level of the specialists involved in
the project.
Q. Should I be familiar with the technical details to work with you?
A. There is absolutely no need for this. After all, you do not have to know medical
nuances when seeking a dentist's services. You do not have to be an expert in software
development because, actually, we are. We are ready to explain to you all unclear moments
and the essence of all stages while working on the project. On your part, all you need is a clear vision
of what objectives you want to achieve using the desired software product. Therefore, you just have to
focus on your needs, and we will help you make them a reality.
Q. What information do you need
from me to start work?
A. Share the details of your project - like scope, timeframes, or business
challenges you'd like to solve.
Q. What's the process to get my product from idea to
market?
A. The process is broken down into three overarching phases. The first phase is discovery,
where we learn about your product idea, business goals, industry competitors, and end users. We then
move into the design phase, where we follow a user-centered design process to reach a final design. The
designs are then handed off to the development team for the third and final phase. They will implement
the design through code, make any needed adjustments, and help you launch.
Q. What are the steps
in getting my site built?
A. We handle many different types of projects, and the stages will depend
on what your needs are: simple updates, redesigns, “I have an idea but I'm not sure how to get it done,”
and “I know exactly what I want.” • Discovery workshop (Typically 2-8 hrs) • Design (Typically 1-8
weeks) • Development (Typically 1- 16 weeks) • QA testing (1-2 weeks)
Q. How long will it take
to create my website/app?
A. The timeline varies depending on the project and scope. The best way to
find this out is simply to talk to us!
Q. What results can I expect from using your services?
A. Our mission is to not only design and develop beautiful digital products for your team but to
also meet and exceed your business goals.
Q. Why do you use open-source libraries? Why not build
everything from scratch?
A. There's a common misconception that open-source means low-quality, when
the opposite is actually true. The open-source community, especially in Ruby, is extremely active,
fueled by developers who love writing Ruby, and who care about writing code well. Aside from the added
time (and cost) of developing everything in-house, leveraging popular open-source libraries is a wise
choice because they have been battle-tested by many others beforehand. Why spend valuable time and money
on something that isn't the core of your product?
Q. Why do you use Ruby, and not Node/C
Sharp/Java/others?
A. Ruby is meant to be a very productive language. It does waste some server
resources, but the biggest cost for any project—especially early on—is in development hours, not
hosting. Hosting typically costs between 5% - 10% of the monthly development cost. Using Ruby helps us
build what we need quickly so that your idea can be tested and tweaked while using fewer development
hours. Once product-market fit has been found and the business optimizes more for cost and less for
time, moving to a different, more verbose, performant, and less flexible language makes sense. But
that's usually several years away.
Q. How do you guarantee the product quality?
A. We work in a short iteration mode and
regularly test the work results, taking into account all customer preferences and the target
audience reaction. This approach allows us to provide our customers with high-quality
products, observing the specified deadlines. Quality is our top priority.
Q. Do you
provide product support services after the app development is complete?
A. Yes, we are
always glad to provide technical support and service the apps we have developed. We can also
further develop your software product if you need to implement new features or integrate
third-party services.
Q. I need an app for iOS and Android. Which platform is better
to start with?
A. Which platform you should choose depends solely on the future
application idea as well as its target audience. Each platform has its own monetization
model. Apple users spend more money on paid apps and in-app purchases. If the goal is direct
monetization, then iOS should be chosen. There are more Android users; however, they are
less likely to pay for app installation and prefer free applications. The more downloads,
the more expensive the advertising is in the application. Android should be chosen if the
goal is managing user attention. We highly recommend starting with only one platform or
building a cross-platform application. This will speed up launching the project, and help to
assess its weaknesses and make any necessary changes. This will save you money and time.
Q. What
is UX design?
A. “User experience design” is a design methodology that focuses on the end user of
your product all throughout the design phase. By utilizing extensive user research, best practices in
design, and behavioral psychology, we design digital products that are intuitive, useful, and beautiful.
Q. What is the value of UX design?
A. UX design not only creates intuitive and enjoyable
experiences for your end-user, but also provides business value by enhancing revenue and reducing future
costs.
Q. What is the design process like?
A. The design process can change depending on the
stage of your product. At a high level, we follow a user-centered design process, starting with brand
discovery calls with your team to get to know your business goals. We then move on to user research, and
finally to high fidelity design, prototyping, and usability testing.
Q. Why is the design phase
important?
A. The design phase is important because it allows us to agree on the look and visual
layout of your site. The design ensures that “nothing gets lost in translation” between your vision and
needs and our implementation and execution. It is therefore extremely important that you take time to
review and understand. Once you approve the design, your project manager and assigned development team
will implement the visuals as well as the functionality of your site. If something is not in the design,
we will not build it.
Q. What is user research and what is the value of it?
A. User research
is the first step in any design process to learn everything there is to know about your end users. By
collecting quantitative and qualitative data through various user research methods, we can then make
better design decisions that improve the overall user's experience.
Q. Will you be able to increase the number of people in your team if necessary?
A. If you
wish to partly reduce the project work intensity or, on the contrary, to increase it at
times, we are always ready to adapt to your needs. When necessary, we will easily involve
more team members in your project to meet your expectations.
Q. What technologies
and programming languages do you utilize in your work?
A. Our experts possess a wide
range of skills, enabling us to offer our customers the best solutions to achieve their
goals. The basic SunShine Technologies profile is .NET development and blockchain; we also
work with C#, ASP.NET Core/MVC, Xamarin, Angular/Angular.JS, React/React.JS, Node.JS, Swift,
Kotlin, Java, Hadoop, SQL, ML, AI and WPF.
Q. What is the minimum budget and the
project size you are willing to work with?
A. The minimum budget you can start with is
$100. Over the years, our portfolio has been enriched with both large enterprise solutions
and apps designed to implement single-person ideas. The project size is not that important
to us, but its benefits and ability to solve specific problems are.
Q. What is usability testing?
A. Usability testing is a vital part of the design process to test out a prototype of your concept.
The goal is to identify problems in the design before launch, effectively saving on future costs of
redesign and redevelopment.
Q. How much control of the design do I have?
A. We will create
the design as close to your team's vision as possible. Although we will give design recommendations
based on best principles and advocate for the end user, you have the final say in all design decisions.
Q. What is Figma?
A. Figma, as they themselves put it, is a “collaborative interface design
tool.” It's the place where we will build the visual look of your project. You will have access to this
same space, allowing you to see every single page, feature, and functionality as it is designed and
added to the overall look of the project. We use this tool so that you have 100% transparency into our
design process, and you can see exactly what your product will look like once we start to build it. What
is in Figma is what we build. If it isn't in there, we won't build it, so if you see something missing
or not right, be sure to speak up! It will only help the process go more smoothly.
Q. How do I
navigate Figma?
A. You can use your mouse, or a list of pages which will be found to the left, to
navigate around the preview of your project. You can then press C on your keyboard and click on a
specific part of the design to make a comment about that portion of the design.
Q. My site looks
different from the design in Figma!
A. You may need to adjust your content. It is extremely important
that the design you accept in Figma will be able to handle the content with which you populate your
site. If you're ever uncertain about what you design will or won't be able to handle, simply talk to
your team and we'll be happy to walk you through it and ensure you'll be happy with the end result. What
you see in Figma is exactly what you get!
Q. Will you sign an NDA?
A. Yes, sure. If you want to sign an NDA, we are always ready to
do so.
Q. What methodologies do you use in your work?
A. The main methodology we
use in our work is Agile, although the choice may depend on a particular project. An
iterative approach to the work on the project provides us with the opportunity to regularly
improve the product quality, and also constant customer feedback.
Q. What is your
customer geography?
A. We provide our services to customers from all over the world; our
key markets are the India, USA, Nepal, Australia, New Zealand, and countries in Central and
Western Asia.
Q. What are the steps in the development phase?
A. The development phase is
where we build your project. First, we have weekly check-in meetings to ensure we are on the same page.
We may need to discuss functionalities and design updates, and you'll get a look at where your project
is in development. Second, we invite you to look at pages step by step and give us feedback on the look
and functionalities, such as if they are fully integrated. Third, once all the pages are built to specs,
we go through a testing phase, and towards the end of this phase, we invite you to test your product to
ensure that it works and performs as expected. Fourth, it's time for launch — the day you show the world
your site/app. Fifth and last, maintenance is where we improve, update, and fix your site on an ongoing
basis.
Q. What is the process for building and updating pages and functionalities?
A. The
design is made as a visual aid for you to see the face of your project. Once you agree on the final
layout, the functionality behind the visual interface is built. When we work on your site, we deploy a
team that works together to ensure your vision not only looks but functions in a manner that you need.
Your team typically consists of a Project Manager, a UI/UX Designer, 1-3 Software Engineers, and a QA
Technician.
Q. Will I get a manual so I can make changes and simple edits myself?
A. This
depends on the scope and agreed-upon level of client support, which will be decided before work is
begun. However, if you're ever unsure or have any questions, just reach out to your team and we'll be
ready to help!
Q. Which payment model do you practice?
A. SunShine Technologies offers its customers
several pricing models, which allows any company to choose the best option: Fixed Price,
Time & Materials, or Dedicated Team Model.
Q. Where are your company's office and
employees located?
A. Our headquarters and 100% of our employees are located in Roorkee,
Uttrakhand (which is one of the most dynamic IT centers in Northen India).
How long
do I have to wait before the work on my project starts?
A. Typically, it takes about two
weeks to start cooperating on the project. However, it depends on the project features and
the number of people involved in it.
Q. When is my site/app done?
A. Your site/app is
officially “done” when we launch. In reality, your site is never fully complete, as it is really a
process and should always be treated as such. We accept feedback for 1 week after launch and will fix
what is in the project scope, and will provide estimates for updates that are not in scope.
Q.
My site launched but something broke. Who should fix it?
A. SunShine Technologies is responsible for
bugs that arise from the code we write one week post-launch. If a bug appears after one week or due to
new installations of plugins, apps, add-ons, or updates, we will happily repair and fix these issues at
an agreed-upon hourly rate, or use hours from your maintenance packet where we provide support at a
reduced rate.
Q. My site is down, what do I do?
A. Contact us immediately, regardless of the
time. We will get your site back up and running!
Q. Why do I need design for small updates?
Can't we just talk about it and implement?
A. We do not involve our designers in minor updates and
tweaks. However, we have found that for more extensive changes, an hour in design ensures that you get
exactly what you envision and that we understand your vision perfectly. One hour in design can save you
multiple hours in development.
Q. Does SunShine Technologies provide hosting services?
A.
Yes, we often host our partner's sites. We offer two hosting solutions depending on the type of site and
how much traffic your site has. This service includes your live production site, your backup staging
site, and one allocated hour of maintenance a month to update plugins regularly.
Q. How do you
bill?
A. We use a blended rate for our projects. We only bill for strategy, design, and development
hours. All ancillary services that going into making the project a success, such as product management,
project management, testing, and quality assurance are included in the blended rate.
Q. How can
I see what I'm paying for?
A. After your site/app has gone live, we share a maintenance Google Doc
with you where each task we work on is listed in detail with estimated work time, date of request, who
requested it, etc. In this manner, we commit to full transparency about maintenance hours and how they
are spent. We occasionally find minor bugs and issues and will add those if they are less than an hour
to fix. Fixes requiring more investment are always discussed with you prior to updating.
Q. We have got an idea, but we would like to verify it. What shall we do in this case?
A.
It does not always make sense to invest all your time and budget resources for the immediate
launch of a large project. The trouble is that the project may fail to meet the actual
market needs. Therefore, if you have an idea, but you are not entirely sure of it, we
recommend you test the concept with an MVP development.
Q. How does the project work
process take place?
A. Each project is unique and requires a customized approach, but
most of the development stages are relevant to all of them. However, the very process of
their implementation may differ somewhat. We recommend you read more about our work
processes on our website.
Q. Can you make changes to a product which other
developers have already started?
A. Yes, we can. Our software engineers are well versed
in various technologies and will practically always be able to continue the product started
by some other team.
Q. What type of monthly maintenance packages can I purchase and what do I
get?
A. SunShine Technologies offers many hosting and maintenance solutions that are customized to
fit your needs. Setting up a recurrent maintenance package guarantees that we have resources set aside
for you at a reduced rate.
Q. How many maintenance hours should I get?
A. We recommend that
immediately following launch you get 10-30hrs/month while you get acquainted with your new site/app and
its functionality. After about 2-3 months, most of our partners drop their hours down to 3-10hrs/month
depending on project size and traffic. You can change the maintenance hours prior to the 1st of the
month.
Q. How does SunShine Technologies calculate hours needed for an update/fix?
A.
Depending on the type of update/fix, we:
• Implement the update on your staging site.
• Test to ensure that the fix works as expected.
• Update and verify the update on mobile.
• Push the update(s) live.
• Test again on live environment.
An update typically involves your Project Manager, a UI/UX Designer, a Software Developer, and a QA
technician.
Q. What if I want to make changes to the design?
A. Your assigned designer will
make the update, you approve, and we implement the update according to our agreed-upon rate. This amount
may be less if we use the hours in your maintenance package, and more if we use hours beyond that
package.
Q. Can I make changes to the functionality of my site?
A. Your Project Manager
will provide an estimate for the update and get approval from you prior to implementing a change. The
rate will depend on if we use hours from your maintenance package or if you decide to pay for additional
hours of time.
