We have a team of 15 highly qualified programmers 23-30 years old. All they have bachelor or master degrees, some of them are PhD.
Most of the projects we had worked on were done with PHP/MySQL. We are not limited with this area only, we also deal with similar fields like Perl or JSP. Besides we develop a unique design, customers support, server maintains, etc
Since the company establishment our team has made more than 100 projects, beginning with small size to huge projects which took some years for a group of programmers.
Most of our customers are from the USA, we have also clients from Holland, Germany, England and Australia.Though IT-market is developing quickly and you can make good money on electronic commerce, our team is concerned with some negative trend in web development. There is a huge amount of unsupportable code over the internet. Actually the code can not be totally bad. Usually it's good enough for the person who wrote it and it's completely unsupportable for anybody other. First thing a project owner hears from a new team is the proposal to rewrite the code from scratch. So that the project owner becomes dependent on the team that developed the software.
We believe it's possible to write the code which can be supported by other programmers. Below are our approaches how to make project successful beginning from idea to implementation and from launch to maintenance and support. It covers all steps of the product life cycle: development, communication, etc. I hope this text will allows you to get to know us better and it'll help you to take a decision about future cooperation with our team.
We use Symfony PHP 5 MVC framework in most of our projects. It allows applying the ideas above the best way. For year 2008 we did more than 20 mid- and large-size various Symfony projects and we think that it's a good enough.
We prefer using Agile methodology though we realize it maybe not the best for all customers and projects. As an alternative we offer usual scheme:
When the project is started we assign a manager from our team. Manager will be responsible for all the communications with the customer and the programmers. Every manager has at least fluent written skills and good verbal skills.
When the project scope is clear we assign one or several programmers from our team. We try to select those programmers which fit the project the best.
During the development we use version control (SVN) and bugtrack systems, which ensures that everything is under control.
For us it's extremely important to know that we will provide the perfect results and if we are not sure of that we may refuse such project. What type of projects we usually don't accept:
I'm looking forward to working with you!Alex Favorov,Forma-pro CEO
