//Methodology{ A variety of methodologies have evolved over the years, each with its own recognized strengths and weaknesses. One software development methodology framework is not necessarily suitable for use by all projects. Each of the available methodology frameworks are best suited to specific kinds of projects, based on various technical, organizational, project and team considerations. }

{ Methodology : User-Centered Design }
{ User-centered design can be characterized as a multi-stage problem solving process that not only requires designers to analyze and foresee how users are likely to use a product, but also to test the validity of their assumptions with regard to user behavior in real world tests with actual users. Such testing is necessary as it is often very difficult for the designers of a product to understand intuitively what a first-time user of their design experiences, and what each user's learning curve may look like. }
User-centered design optimizes the product around how users can, want, or need to use the product, rather than forcing the users to change their behavior to accommodate the product.

{ Chris follows a structured development path from platform identification to deployment and maintenance for all our projects. As in life, each project is different, every project brings new an exciting opportunities. Hence, he utilizes his knowledge and experience of multiple development life cycles (DLC) (waterfall, spiral, rad, agile, code-fix, etc.) combined with client expectations to determine the appropriate combination for the DLC of each project. }

//Services and Capabilities{ Native apps are often contrasted with Web-based applications that are stored on a server and interpreted one line at a time by the browser's JavaScript or HTML5 interpreter. A native app, written for a specific hardware platform, will always run faster than a Web app, because there is no translation processing taking place. }
