How we work
A transparent process from first contact to product launch. You always know what is happening at each stage and when to expect results
Principles
How we approach the work
Flexibility
The ability to adjust priorities and scope during the process
Quality
Code review, testing, and adherence to best practices
Realism
Realistic timelines and estimates without overpromising
Stages
7 steps to launching a product
01
First contact
1–3 daysYou fill out the form or message us. Within 1 business day, we reply and schedule a call or meeting. We discuss the idea, goals, the overall product vision, and your expectations.
What you get:
Understanding your ideaDiscussing goalsAnswers to first questions
02
Research and refinement
1–3 weeksWe dive into the requirements, create the feature list, and define priorities. We analyze the target audience, competitors, and technical constraints. We build the project structure and plan of action.
What you get:
Feature listPrioritiesProject structure
03
Estimate and proposal
3–5 daysWe prepare a detailed estimate: module breakdown, timeline, and cost. We offer either a fixed-price model or time and materials. We align on commercial terms and sign the NDA and contract.
What you get:
Detailed estimateTimelineCommercial proposal
04
UX/UI and concept
2–4 weeksWe create wireframes, prototypes, and user flows. We design the visual interface according to modern standards. We align each stage with you and build a design system for scalability.
What you get:
PrototypesInterface designDesign system
05
Development and QA
6–16 weeksWe develop the backend, frontend, and mobile apps according to the approved scope. Regular demos every 1–2 weeks. In parallel, we run testing, fix bugs, and perform code review. You get access to the staging version.
What you get:
Working productTestingDemos every 1–2 weeks
06
Release and handover
1–2 weeksFinal testing, performance optimization, and launch preparation. Deployment to production servers. Publication in the App Store / Google Play (if there is a mobile app). Handover of code, access, and documentation.
What you get:
Launched productDocumentationAccess handover
07
Support (optional)
from 1 monthAfter release, we can continue supporting the product: bug fixes, updates, new features, monitoring, and technical maintenance. Support is not mandatory — you receive all the code and can manage the product independently.
What you get:
Bug fixesUpdatesMonitoring
Communication
How we stay in touch
Regular demos
Every 1–2 weeks, we run demos of new features. We show progress, gather feedback, and adjust the plan.
Fast communication
Telegram, WhatsApp, Slack, or email for quick questions. We reply within the business day.
Direct access
You get access to the staging version of the product and can test the functionality in real time.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions about the process
How does the project process work from the first meeting to launch?
The process usually includes first contact, discovery and requirement clarification, estimation, UX/UI design, development and QA, release, and product handover. After launch, support or further development can be agreed separately.
How actively do I need to be involved in the process?
Your involvement is important when defining goals, priorities, design, and key decisions. The team handles day-to-day technical details, but regular feedback helps move faster in the right direction.
How often will I see work results?
During development, the team provides regular updates and demos. The website states that demos of new features usually happen every 1 to 2 weeks, so you can see progress and give feedback.
Will I have access to the product during development?
Yes. When a working test version is available, you can get access to it and check the functionality during the process. This helps find issues earlier and adjust decisions before release.
Can priorities or functionality be changed during the process?
Yes, the process allows flexibility. If priorities change, the team can review the plan, but the impact on timeline, budget, and scope should be agreed separately.
How are design and functionality approved?
First, the team prepares the structure, user flow, wireframes, or prototypes, then moves to visual design. Key screens, states, and logic are approved with you before active development.
How do you control quality and test the product?
Quality is controlled through code review, functional testing, bug fixing, and final stabilization before release. For mobile and responsive products, the team also checks behavior on different devices.
How does communication with the team work?
The communication channel is agreed at the start. Telegram, WhatsApp, Slack, or email can be used for quick questions, while regular updates, demos, and next-step discussions help track progress.
Who owns the code and product after development is completed?
After release, the code, accesses, and documentation are handed over. Legal details about rights, materials, and product use should be fixed separately in the contract so both sides understand the terms clearly.
Do you hand over the source code?
Yes, source code handover is part of the final stage. Together with the code, the required accesses, technical documentation, and instructions are usually provided to help maintain the product further.
What accesses and documentation will I receive after launch?
After launch, the required service accesses, technical documentation, user or team instructions, and materials included in the project scope are handed over. The exact list depends on the product type.
Do you help with deployment and launch?
Yes. Release can include final testing, optimization, deployment to the production environment, service setup, and, for mobile products, preparation for publishing in the App Store or Google Play.
Is it mandatory to stay with your support after release?
No, post-release support is optional. After the code, accesses, and documentation are handed over, you can manage the product yourself or agree on further technical support with SoftWars.
Can you continue developing the product after launch?
Yes. After release, work can continue on new features, optimization, integrations, or scaling. The format and development priorities are usually agreed separately after the first version is launched.
What is included in technical support?
Technical support can include bug fixes, updates, monitoring, consultations, small improvements, or preparation of new features. The exact support scope should be agreed separately based on the product’s needs.
Can another team continue working on the product after handover?
Yes. Code, access, and documentation handover makes it possible to manage the product further. Another team can continue the work after reviewing the technical part and access arrangements.
