So, from the very start, you’ll know how collaboration with us works – what stages it will consist of, what milestones we’ll reach together, what outputs you’ll receive from us and how much it will cost you. If you have a moment, we can quickly go through this journey.
Order guide in FG Forrest

1
Make up of project team
Collaboration always works better when you know from the beginning with whom you are honoured to deal with. That's why you will find out from our offer who'll communicate with you on behalf of FG. Who'll be the project manager, UX designer, graphic designer, analyst and development team leader. All of them will then be available to you in the agreed upon manner.

Initial Study – marketing section
We’ll carefully read all of the materials and documents you've supplied, as well as information collected during our mutual meetings and phone calls. We really have to learn a lot about your company and its business and customers so we can recast what we can do best for you. Create a website or e-shop that the visitor can not only easily get to, but also quickly find the necessary information and do what they'd like to. Maybe they’ll make a purchase in a few clicks.

Price of the work, and schedule
Once we clarify the starting points, as well as the project goals and the resources required to achieve them, we’ll prepare a price calculation for the entire order, and set out a detailed plan for fulfilling the schedule, in which we’ll commit to deadlines that you can expect the results of our work.

Graphic design
We create the visual page of the website tailored to a specific customer and a specific project. That means that we don’t recycle the same template over and over; instead, we always strive for authenticity, originality and purity of design. In order to achieve these qualities, we need your design manual, logo, product photographs and other graphic materials. Impressive graphics, together with an intuitive arrangement of information on the website, are key to getting users interested in your offer and taking the action they want.

Handover of Initial Study
The proposed information architecture, standard page content and design, and technical specification are now waiting for your comments. Among others, suggestions from your experience which we’re not familiar with, and thanks to which we will adapt the final form of the project even more to the needs of your business. However, we’ll also formulate arguments against requirements which our past experience has convinced us aren’t effective.
We now have a detailed proposal for dealing with entire project, and we can begin to implement it. -
11
Application development – back-end and integration
Our application developers will add modules which fulfil the required functionality to the platform’s basic core. If required, they will then also develop and customise other necessary applications, and connect the website/e-shop to your information or other external system.
-
13
Testing
We’ll set up and implement a testing environment, in which you’ll be able to verify with us the functionality of the project which is being created. For security reasons, access to it will only be possible from defined IP addresses, and with a password. We’ll also set up a pre-production environment for you if you require one. There will be several rounds of acceptance proceedings, according to your comments, during which we’ll fine-tune everything into a state which enables a problem-free launch.
-
15
Project launch
When, after all of the individual elements have been tested, we’re convinced that they function faultlessly, we’ll put the created work into “live” operation. However, the uploading of the presentation to a public server is by no means the end of our collaboration. Other important stages await us.
-
17
Web analytics and innovation consultation
You can’t control what you don’t measure. But with us, you face no such risk. Immediately after your project is launched, we’ll begin to evaluate its key performance indicators using analytical tools. From the findings obtained, we’ll then derive suggestions and recommendations regarding what you can improve in your website/e-shop, and its promotion, so that you achieve the desired results.

Our offer in response to your inquiry
It may sound bold, but in a certain sense we’re looking after you even before you contact us. With our information service. On our company website we collect as much information as possible about our work for you, thanks to which you can think in advance about what assignment you’ll entrust us with. We can discuss it over the phone, or meet immediately. If you already have a clear idea of an assignment, send us a completed inquiry form. The more we learn about you and your project and your goals, the more accurate an offer you’ll then receive. If you don’t have completely clear ideas just yet, it doesn’t matter – we’ll get to them together later in the Initial Study stage.
-

Initial Study – technical section
In addition to your sales and marketing instructions, we also need technical materials, e.g. documents relating to the data sources or external systems with which you wish to integrate the solution. We’ll connect it to your warehouse, accounts, payment gateway etc. Based on the available materials, we’ll prepare a detailed project specification, i.e. a complete functionality description, including all necessary infrastructures and other things required. This is to ensure that we don’t gradually find out everything that was forgotten at the start of the collaboration during the realisation process.
-
6
Information architecture and UX design
And then we get to work. We’ll create standardised descriptions of all of your typical customers (persons), from which we’ll derive an adequate draft content structure, and design a so-called wireframe model of the web section of the project, and possibly also a clickable prototype. We’ll then fine-tune the structure, wireframe and prototype to perfection at joint consultations (and possibly also with the help of user testing), so that they’re a clear guide for the graphic designer.
-
8
Content creation
Quality content represents an important weapon in the battle for users’ attention. We’ll help you with your long-term content strategy, while creating texts, images and videos which will turn hesitating visitors into loyal customers. E.g. 360 degree product presentation or augmented reality, for whose use we received a prestigious awards.
-
10
Presentation section – front-end and CMS configuration
Based on the detailed functionality description from the Initial Study and with the graphic templates which have been prepared, our web developers will begin to create your website. We’ll also set up CMS and the Edee.one e-commerce platform, which you can use to manage content.
-
12
Content implementation
Now comes the time to wrap the website’s technological skeleton in the real “meat”, which will attract visitors. That means filling it with content. Whether we’re going to upload completely new content to it, or migrate it from your existing website, we need your full support, like in other stages of the order.
-
14
Training in work with CMS
We’ll teach you to operate the editorial section of the Edee.one system so that you can insert and edit texts, images and other multimedia content. You can use the same system to manage products, prices and orders in its e-commerce section. Editors and administrators will acquire different rights. At the same time, we’ll also supply you with the related user documentation, including video manuals.
-
16
Management and operation
Most of our solutions are extremely large in terms of functions and data. You can entrust them to us so that we can guarantee their faultless operation, without traffic or order outages. As part of the agreed prevention, we’ll continuously monitor the servers’ availability, from Monday to Sunday. We deal with requests sent to the Service Department immediately. We devote maximum attention to providing security systems against unauthorised access and attacks.
-
18
Online marketing
We’ll devise and manage internet campaigns for you, which will attract the right visitors and help turn them into customers. Terms such as SEO, PPC, Google Ads, Sklik, Facebook Business Manager, influencer and YouTuber are our marketers’ “daily bread”.
