A project provided by Gobisoft works in phases. Often projects we work on consist of a key deliverable, such as a content management system that integrates to an existing company intranet, or a web application that interfaces with various API’s like PayPal, Google Maps, OpenSocial.
We focus on delivering software in milestones or phases because it allows us to release early. Releasing early and often are key to ensuring deliverables are met on time but more importantly, adopting that philosophy in a maintenance contract means that we can adapt our software throughout the development life cycle. We’d rather release small improvements quickly rather than massive, potentially unstable change all at once. Phasing groups releases, for example a phase can consist of more than one release, often consisting of a release per feature block.
Using this mantra, bugs and inconsistencies can get fixed quickly rather than waiting for mass feature releases before a patch is made.
Web design is very different from other mediums because half the time spent designing a website is wasted solving technical problems. For a start, a website on your screen might not look the same on someone elses. You might see a few small differences or in extreme cases the whole page can come out looking scrambled. The problem is there are so many differences between all the computers out there.
You probably dont notice this in your day to day browsing because web designers make allot of effort to get sites working on all the different browsers and computers use. Designers spend much of their time just trying to get their concept from paper to screen. Its not hard to imagine how this struggle leads to lazy design and corner cutting.

Business websites all seem to be the same, a cookie-cutter variation on the same old pages: About Us, Contact Us, and a whole load of marketing speak in between. However, more than alienating and confusing your visitors, this format makes your website stale.
We like to dive right into it and put our design and technical ideas on our front page.
So, whether you’re an IT professional or just looking for the right web design firm for your project, you’ll be able to read up on what we do, how we do it, and why we’re right for you.
The Web is making a shift once again and it’s going to be great. Within the next few years there will be an incredible growth in mobile phone Internet usage. Cheap tariffs and larger screens will lead the way in this revolution and it will be another significant change in what has already been an incredible few decades.
What this change means for business owners is that websites will become twice as relevant as they are now. What was once restricted to being accessed sitting down at a desk will be more prominent than newspapers and billboards. (more…)
As designers, should we always be worrying about what technology to base the foundations of our sites? At gobisoft we do things a little differently because we believe that a site can be built once and outputted in many different formats/ways.
