WEB PORTAL DEVELOPMENT

At CSI Media, we are committed to matching you with the ideal Content Management System (CMS) for your web and content requirements. We work with several CMS platforms including Umbraco, a brilliant solution for most businesses, WordPress, suitable for start-ups, and the analytically rich, large-scale CMS that is Sitecore. We build on top of your chosen CMS to provide you with the exact functionality you require.

WEB DEVELOPMENT PROCESS

To streamline the web development process, we break the project down into several manageable stages:

The Research Phase

We want to make sure that your website meets its business objectives and has a commercial impact. Therefore, every website design project starts with a research phase where our aim is to build a thorough understanding of your business; your brand, your product or service, and find out exactly you’re looking to achieve. We also analyse your target market and evaluate the competitive landscape. This information is used to direct our design and development decisions going forward.

The Design Phase

Our designers will begin by completing a set of wireframes for bespoke pages to agree on a page structure, UI and functionality. These can be used to map out user flows. Then, we will start the exciting part: conceptual design. Adopting a mobile-first approach to design, and by utilising our findings from the research phase, we will produce initial concepts. We will seek to collaborate with you from a very early stage. This ensures that the design phase is used efficiently and allows us to iterate and develop the designs with your involvement.

Development

Once the designs are completed and signed off by you, your website will be built in HTML and CSS. At this point, you will get a feel for how your website responds on various devices. Following this, our back-end developers will connect your website with your chosen Content Management System, develop any custom functionality, and integrate your website with new or pre-existing systems, if required.

Testing & Launch

All websites undergo rigorous testing at different stages of the process including browser, QA and functional testing to help us spot and fix any issues. Your website will also be deployed to a UAT environment for you to test. There will be a phase for you to upload your content to the CMS so that you’re all set and ready for the big launch.

APP DEVELOPMENT

App development is something that we are really excited about here at Xpansion web & media. Our team of designers and developers create beautifully designed applications for Android, iOS and Web Apps. Our apps allow you to integrate functional processes, for example, ticket booking and payment capabilities. When designing apps, we take into consideration the native experiences of each device, iconography, gestures and interactive points. Our app development team are experienced in Java and Kotlin; the official programming languages for Android devices, and Swift, the official programming language for creating iOS apps. Our team also have experience in handling a countless number of third-party integrations including APIs, XML and JSON.

Web App

What is a web app? A web app is written in a similar way as a website, with the look and feel of an application. They are written with HTML, CSS and JavaScript controlling the user interface, pulling information from APIs at the back-end. Web apps have the same access to many of a phones native features such as accelerometers and gestures.

Android Apps

We develop apps for Android devices including Samsung, Amazon, HTC, Sony and Google Pixel. App development for Android is written in a programming language called Java. Android apps are made widely available via the Google Play Store.

iOS Apps

When developing an app for iOS this covers all smaller and mobile, Apple devices from iPhones, iPads and Apple Watch or TV. Apps for iOS are developed in Apple’s own development language called Swift and the apps are made available through Apple’s ‘App Store’.
