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 ecommerce development?
Ecommerce development refers to building and maintaining websites that enable businesses to sell products or services online. This can include developing the website’s front-end design and user interface, integrating with back-end systems such as payment processing and inventory management, and implementing features such as shopping carts, product pages, and checkout flows.
What platform should I use for my ecommerce site?
Many platforms are available, including Magento, Shopify, WooCommerce, and BigCommerce. The best platform for you will depend on your business needs, budget, and technical expertise, as well as the number of products and variations (sizes, colors) of those products you’re looking to sell.
How long does it take to develop an ecommerce site?
The timeline for ecommerce development can vary depending on the site’s complexity and the project’s scope. A simple site might take a few weeks, while a more complex site could take several months.
Can I integrate my ecommerce site with third-party tools and services?
Yes, most ecommerce platforms allow for integration with various third-party tools and services, such as payment gateways, shipping providers, and marketing automation software.
How can I ensure my ecommerce site is secure?
Ecommerce security is critical to protecting customer data and preventing fraud. Implementing secure payment gateways, using SSL certificates, and keeping software up-to-date are the top ways to ensure your ecommerce site is secure.
How soon can WestLink start my website?
WestLink can start requirements gathering for your ecommerce website typically within a week. Once the requirements gathering phase is complete, which normally takes 2-3 weeks, we can begin the development process immediately. We aim to ensure a smooth and timely project kickoff, aligning with your desired timeline and delivering high-quality results.
What is WestLink’s process for handling web development maintenance and updates?
For web development maintenance and updates, we follow 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.
