Specialists in Custom Software Services

Custom software development provides tailored solutions that meet specific business requirements and goals, and can improve efficiency, productivity, and profitability. It also ensures that the software is designed to fit a business’s unique processes and workflows.

The time it takes to develop software can vary depending on the project’s complexity, the development team’s size, and the development methodology used. Some projects can take a few weeks, while others may take several months or more.

Agile development is a software development methodology focusing on iterative and incremental development, emphasizing flexibility, collaboration, and customer satisfaction. It involves breaking down development into smaller stages called “sprints” and prioritizing the most important features.

Front-end development involves designing and building the user-facing part of a website or application, such as the layout, design, and interactions. Back-end development involves building the server-side of an application, including the database, server, and application logic. Both are critical for creating a functional and user-friendly software solution.

WestLink prioritizes effective communication and collaboration with its clients throughout the development process. We use Slack as our primary communication tool, enabling real-time messaging, file sharing, and quick discussions. This ensures that our team and clients can easily stay connected and quickly address any queries or concerns. We also conduct regular status update meetings to keep everyone aligned and updated on the project’s progress, typically on Zoom.

For software maintenance and updates, WestLink follows a structured approach. We offer maintenance and support services on a retainer basis, which allows us to address any issues that may arise after the project’s completion. When a maintenance request or update is needed, we assess its scope and impact on the existing system. Depending on the complexity and urgency, we allocate resources accordingly and follow our change management process. This involves proper testing, documentation, and ensuring minimal disruption to the live system.
