The situation

The business need

The retailer wanted its own e-commerce website to develop its online presence as the business grew. It needed an initial site within a short timeframe and specified WordPress as the platform.

The offshore team had to understand the requirements quickly and keep the client informed while the site was being developed.

The approach

How the team delivered

01

Evaluate and staff the work

Experienced developers were assigned after reviewing the client’s requirements. The implementation used WordPress, PHP and MySQL.

02

Maintain a daily feedback loop

The team sent daily email updates and held internal meetings covering completed work, next-day plans and questions that needed resolution.

03

Continue after the initial website

Following delivery, Shinetech provided IT maintenance and added enhancements to the retailer’s platforms.
