Our Process

No Black Boxes.
No Surprises.
Just Results.

Every project at Devola follows the same structured process — from the first call to post-launch support. You know exactly what's happening at every stage.

The Process

7 Phases.
Every Project.

The specific timeline varies by service, but the structure is always the same — because consistency produces quality.

01

Discovery Call

Day 1

We start with a free 20–30 minute call to understand your business, goals, target audience, and what success looks like. No pitch, no pressure — just listening.

  • Understand your business and competitive landscape
  • Define the project scope and must-have features
  • Identify your target users and their needs
  • Discuss timeline, budget, and any constraints
  • Answer every question you have about the process

Phase outcome

A clear mutual understanding of what we're building and why.

02

Proposal & Agreement

Days 2–3

We send a detailed written proposal covering scope, deliverables, timeline, and pricing. No vague estimates — every line item is specific.

  • Written project scope document
  • Itemised pricing with no hidden fees
  • Realistic milestone-based timeline
  • Clear payment schedule (50% upfront, 50% on delivery)
  • Signed agreement before any work begins

Phase outcome

A signed agreement that protects both sides and sets clear expectations.

03

Design & Wireframes

Week 1–2

Before a single line of code is written, you see exactly what your product will look like. We build in Figma and present the designs for your feedback and approval.

  • Information architecture and user flow mapping
  • Low-fidelity wireframes for layout approval
  • High-fidelity UI designs in your brand colours
  • Mobile and desktop responsive layouts
  • Up to 3 rounds of design revisions

Phase outcome

Approved, pixel-perfect designs that both sides are excited to build.

04

Development

Weeks 2–6+

We build clean, well-structured code. You receive regular progress updates and, for app projects, weekly TestFlight/APK builds so you can test on your actual device throughout.

  • Weekly progress updates every Friday
  • Staging environment for web projects
  • Weekly TestFlight & APK builds for mobile apps
  • Regular check-ins if scope needs adjusting
  • Version-controlled codebase from day one

Phase outcome

A working, testable build you've been part of at every stage.

05

Testing & QA

Final week before launch

We don't ship until it's been properly tested. Every project goes through a thorough QA process before you ever see it live.

  • Cross-browser testing (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge)
  • Mobile device testing on real iOS and Android hardware
  • Performance audit (PageSpeed 90+ for web)
  • Accessibility checks (WCAG compliance)
  • Security review and final bug fix pass

Phase outcome

A product that works correctly on every device, before it's in front of your users.

06

Launch

Launch day

We handle the full deployment — domain connection, hosting setup, analytics, and go-live. For apps, we manage the App Store and Google Play submission process end to end.

  • Production deployment and domain configuration
  • Google Analytics 4 and Search Console setup
  • Sitemap and robots.txt submission
  • App Store & Google Play submission (for apps)
  • Post-launch smoke test and monitoring

Phase outcome

You're live, indexed, and tracking — with us on standby for the first 48 hours.

07

Post-Launch Support

Ongoing

Every project includes a support window after launch. We're available to fix any issues, answer questions, and make minor adjustments as your real users start using the product.

  • Bug fixes and urgent patches covered
  • Performance monitoring and alerts
  • Minor content and copy updates
  • Training on how to manage your platform
  • Optional ongoing maintenance retainer

Phase outcome

Peace of mind that we don't vanish the moment the project is delivered.

How We Operate

The Rules We
Work By.

These aren't just words on a page. They're the commitments we make to every client from day one.

No surprises

Scope, price, and timeline are locked in writing before work begins. Changes go through a formal change request.

You own everything

Full source code, all design files, and complete IP ownership transferred to you on final delivery.

Honest timelines

We don't promise a 2-week turnaround to win your business and then ask for 8 weeks. Every estimate is grounded in reality.

Quality by default

We don't ship something we wouldn't be proud to put our name on. QA isn't optional — it's built into every project.

Visible progress

Weekly updates and live staging environments mean you're never left wondering what's happening with your project.

We stay around

Post-launch support is included in every project. We don't disappear the moment the invoice is paid.

Process FAQs

Common Questions
About Our Process.

Do I need to be technical to work with you?

Not at all. We explain everything in plain English. You don't need to understand code — you just need to understand your business, and we handle the rest.

How involved do I need to be during the project?

Actively involved at the start (discovery and design approval) and minimally during development. We'll need timely feedback when we send designs or builds, but we don't need daily input from you.

What if I want to change something mid-project?

Small clarifications are free. Meaningful scope changes go through a written change request with a clear price and timeline impact before anything is implemented. No surprises.

What happens if we miss a deadline?

If the delay is on our end, we communicate it as soon as we know, adjust the timeline, and explain why. If it's caused by delayed client feedback or approvals, the timeline shifts accordingly.

How do I send feedback during the project?

Via email, WhatsApp, or a shared Notion/Google Doc — whatever works for you. We consolidate feedback into a clear revision list before acting on it, so nothing is missed.

Who owns the code and files at the end?

You do, completely. Full source code, all design files, and every asset is transferred to you. We don't hold anything back as leverage for maintenance contracts.
