01 - Intake & specification
Every project starts with a concrete conversation: what the system needs to do, which data and integrations are involved, and what the hard requirements are for performance and security. That conversation gets worked into a specification - not a vague briefing, but a document we can both refer back to during the build.
02 - Architecture & technology choices
Technology choices are made based on what the project actually needs, not on what happens to be familiar. For e-commerce and web applications, that means an architecture that accounts for scale, maintainability, and the existing systems it needs to connect to - APIs and data flows are mapped out explicitly before the first line of code.
03 - Build & iteration
Instead of one large delivery at the end, there are regular interim versions. That makes it possible to course-correct early instead of discovering at delivery that an assumption didn't hold. Every version is a working system, not a loose mockup.
04 - Performance & technical SEO
Before launch, Core Web Vitals, load time, structured data (schema.org), and indexability are checked as standard - not as a separate service afterwards, but as a fixed part of every project. A slow or technically weak website undermines everything else.
05 - Launch & monitoring
After launch, the line stays open with me, not a ticketing system. For questions, bugs, or extensions, you're just talking to the person who built the project.
What this means for you
The person having the conversation is the same one writing the code, so what gets discussed is also what gets built. No rotating contacts, no noise along the way. More on who's behind Albytes is on the about me page.
