Requirements Gathering
WestLink follows design thinking processes when gathering requirements. This involves value stream mapping to engage with users and stakeholders to identify their needs, ideate solutions, and iteratively refine product requirements and designs, while optimizing processes to deliver maximum value efficiently. Open communication, feedback, and validation are key throughout the process to ensure a successful, user-centric product.
Proposal & Contract
Once the requirements are defined, we’ll prepare a proposal outlining the scope of work, timeline, and cost. If both parties agree on the proposal, a contract is signed to formalize the agreement.
Design
The next step is to create designs for the software, including wireframes, mockups, and user interfaces. The client will review and approve these designs before our team moves on to the development phase.
Development
The development phase involves writing the code for the software. We will typically follow an agile or iterative development methodology, with regular check-ins and demos to keep you informed of progress.
Quality Assurance
Once each software release is developed, it is thoroughly tested to ensure it meets requirements and is defect-free. This may involve manual testing, automated testing, and user acceptance testing.
Deployment
Once the software has been tested and approved, it is deployed to the production environment. We provide support during the deployment phase to ensure the software functions properly.
Maintenance & Support
After deployment, your software may require ongoing maintenance and support to address issues and make updates. WestLink can provide software maintenance and support on a continuous or ad hoc basis.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is software development?
Software development is the process of designing, coding, testing, and deploying software programs or applications for use on computers, mobile devices, or other platforms.
What are the benefits of custom software development?
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.
How long does software development take?
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.
What is Agile development?
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.
What is the difference between front-end and back-end development?
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.
How does WestLink handle communication and collaboration throughout the development process?
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.
What is WestLink’s process for handling software maintenance and updates?
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.
