How it works

From order to online, without chasing for updates.

Every Altay Web project runs through the same six stages. You always know where the project is, what we are doing and what we need from you.

Website plans and wireframes being reviewed on a desk
Every stage has a clear owner, a clear output and a visible date.

Bespoke builds

Applications follow the same stages, with scoping in between.

Altay Web Studio projects run through the same six stages, with a dedicated scoping stage before the build. You approve a written specification, screens and a fixed build price before any development starts, then review working software at each milestone.

What counts as a revision cycle?

A revision cycle is one consolidated set of feedback submitted through your portal, followed by one updated version from Altay. Start includes one cycle, Grow two and Sell three. Fixing a fault or something that does not match the agreed scope does not use a cycle. New pages, new functionality or a change to an already approved direction may require a separate quote.

How quickly do you reply?

Within one working day, Monday to Friday. Anything urgent during a launch window is handled the same day.

What slows projects down?

Missing content and delayed feedback. Onboarding is designed to collect what we need up front so the build is not held up.

What happens after launch?

You get a handover pack with ownership, access details and documentation. Ongoing care is optional and quoted separately.
