Web Development

What To Expect

When an individual or company chooses Altec Design for a custom development project they can expect:

• A detailed project estimate with specific deliverable dates and exact costs
• Open communication throughout the project with our development team
• Regular "beta" updates and previews
• Beautifully designed code that exceeds industry standards for performance & security
• A trusted partner that will continue to help them maintain and improve their system

Our Process

We start all development projects off with an initial consultation to determine the scope of the project. From there our team gets to work crafting a detailed project outline that includes an estimate with detailed costs and time projections. We look at ourselves as consultants identifying needs and solutions just as much as developers so this often means our proposals will include solutions and ideas the client has not even requested, and in some cases didn't even know was possible. Getting a proper foundation is the key to the long term success of any application.

Our Framework

Whenever possible we prefer to use Laravel for development projects. Laravel is an exceptional framework that offers many benefits. First and foremost it standardizes the project so that down the road it is much easier for any other developer to come in and update/maintain the system. It also provides the benefit of helping to enforce good coding habits. We have been called in countless times by clients to come and update or fix other custom applications only to find outdated or improper coding practices in place. Most of the time these systems were built entirely "from scratch" with a custom framework in place which makes it more difficult for others to step in and contribute to the system. We are strong proponents of using a great framework as the foundation for all our systems so that clients can benefit from the best practices and standardization that comes with them.

Hear What Our Clients Think

Sam and Brian are an unbelievable asset to me personally and the multiple businesses I run. No matter what technology or digital project I throw at them; they can always handle and always shoot me straight and make sure I understand it in regular language. I honestly don’t know where our companies would be today without "the boys" because they power all things digital and we have a blast doing it.

I get email after email, call after call from companies claiming they can make my SEO better. Well I am not interested in anything these marketers tell me because I have Alec Design doing my work. These guys are not only on top of the game, they convey to me options as they see fit. I was using a larger national operation before going to them, I now spend less and get better and more with "the guys" at Altec.

Great Company! The folks at Altec Design have been instrumental in building a secure system to house our schedule and monitor our patient care. They always have our best interest in mind and we continue to call on them for advice whenever we can!

Dr. Shawn Bradley: St Louis Mens Clinic

Altec did a great job on our site. We were not 100% sure initially what all we needed to do to get our business online. Altec Design sat down with us a went over each step we needed to accomplish to get our website completed. Between our thorough understanding of our business and their technical know-how we ended up with a site that is the envy of our competition. Thanks a lot guys!

Dr. Candice Coffey: STL Back Care Clinic

As a fledgling startup trying comprised of two guys with zero technical/web skills, Sam helped hand hold us through the early stages of securing a website and developing an effective and simple site to communicate our businesses value proposition. He helped set up company emails, and pointed us to some great tools for other business assets (newsletter, analytics). They made everything in the process simple and easy.

My experience with Altec Design has been awesome. They worked to accommodate my needs above my means at the time, and they built a website I was very happy with. It helped take my business to the next level!

Mike Oldroyd: Mike Oldroyd Comedy

The guys at Altec really know how to communicate their knowledge and expertise on a human level. I've worked with other web design companies in the past and they may as well have been speaking Latin. Altec worked with me on our project with the care and patience you'd expect from a friend or family member. The projects we have partnered on are successful mainly because I understand all the steps and trust in Altec's experience.
