Our Methodology
We swear by our process because it works! Successful & advanced ecommerce solutions require clear goals, precise planning, and a winning strategy. SweetSoft has created a unique methodology for our ecommerce services called the
Ecommerce Requirements Specification (ERS) that leverages our extensive industry expertise to help you achieve lasting success. The below steps outline it in a nutshell.
The first step in our process is to understand your product, your industry, your value proposition, as well as the target audiences and your competitive environment. This is done by performing intensive research, data-collection and analysis.
Next we plan how to satisfy all the needs and requirements of each potential target audience through use of different personas by user segment. This ensures the maximum range of qualified traffic and conversion.
Finally we create a blueprint and roadmap that clearly outline the complete project scope and the implementation methods. This benefits the client by illustrating the final product and provides clear instructions for the implementation team.
The complete deliverables of the ERS include Creative Requirements, Functional Requirements, SEO Requirements, Search Requirements, Content Requirements and Technical Requirements. It also contains the functional design of information architecture wireframes, sitemaps and process flows and recommends to what extent custom development and 3rd party applications will be necessary during implementation, or whether standard ecommerce website tools could suffice.
The ERS is a stand-alone deliverable that can guide development by either SweetSoft or a 3rd party team. If you choose SweetSoft, the implementation phase will begin, which we term the Ecommerce Development Module (EDM).
The EDM produces tailored solutions to meet all the requirements as defined in the ERS. The EDM encompasses the Design, Development, QA, User Acceptance Testing, Migration and Launch processes that are involved in any professional website development. Each step is thoroughly planned in advance in the ERS phase, and then implementation is carefully choreographed and managed to ensure the best results.
