Project Consultation
Every project
starts with a conversation.
Project Consultation is the initial stage where the client and Zaya Web Studio discuss the idea, business objective, required functionality, technical expectations and general project direction.
Why consultation comes first
Before development begins, both sides need a practical understanding of what is being built and why. Consultation helps organize the initial idea into a clearer project direction before detailed requirements and scope are finalized.
From idea to project direction.
Understand the Idea
The client explains the business idea, product concept, existing problem or digital requirement.
Identify the Objective
The discussion focuses on what the project is expected to achieve and who will use the final product.
Discuss Functionality
Required pages, features, integrations, platforms and other important functionality are discussed.
Determine Direction
The available development approach, approximate scope and next steps can then be discussed.
Different projects, different conversations.
Consultation can cover different types of digital projects depending on the client's requirements.
Website
Business, portfolio and custom website requirements.
E-commerce
Online stores, products, checkout and business workflows.
Shopify
Store setup, customization and e-commerce requirements.
Mobile App
Android applications and application-specific features.
Admin Panel
Custom dashboards, backend systems and management tools.
Custom System
Business-specific functionality and integrations.
What should be discussed?
Useful information for consultation
The clearer, the better.
Detailed requirements are not always available during the first conversation. The consultation can help identify what information is still required before the project moves into detailed scope and planning.
Before contacting Zaya Web Studio
Describe the problem
Explain what you want to build or what existing problem the project should solve.
List important features
Write down the major functionality you already have in mind.
Share references
Existing websites, applications, screenshots or examples can help communicate the desired direction.
Explain existing systems
Mention existing hosting, domain, app, backend or other technical systems when relevant.
The initial conversation helps establish project direction. Detailed requirements, deliverables, timelines, pricing and other applicable project terms should be confirmed separately before development begins.
