Development Team ~ that work to budget and deliver on time

At satiworks inception we sought an almost impossible task in finding our backend partner. We wanted cost effective programming developed by software engineers with the most up-to-date skills and most importantly – who could deliver on time.

We decided that India was the way to explore, not only were prices more realistic than our home market, but the manner and level of service coupled with after care was far superior to the UK.

Gurbir Singh

From our first meeting in March 2006 we were suitably impressed with Gurbir Singh’s team of fantastic programmers all based in an airy development centre is in Chandigarh, northern India. Gurbir’s team of 18 degree and master qualified software engineers has grown steadily since March 2000, when he first formed the company to provide an alternative cost efficient back-end development to companies like satiworks in the USA and Canada.

satiworks has subsequently utilised the team’s development talents for the creation of all our clients new website back-end development, and to help us to recycle existing client’s websites by tweaking and optimising the site architecture.

Is your Website Fast Enough?

Response time limits

•    0.1 second is the limit if the user is to feel that the system is reacting instantaneously.
o    No special feedback is necessary except to display the result.
•    1.0 second is about the limit for the user's flow of thought to stay uninterrupted, even though the user will notice the delay.
o    Normally, no special feedback is necessary during delays of more than 0.1 but less than 1.0 second, but the user does lose the feeling of operating directly on the data.
•    10 seconds is about the limit for keeping the user's attention focused on the dialogue.
o    For longer delays, users will want to perform other tasks while waiting for the computer to finish, so they should be given feedback indicating when the computer expects to be done. Feedback during the delay is especially important if the response time is likely to be highly variable, since users will then not know what to expect.

Each project that we involve Gurbir’s team on begins life with a written MOU (memorandum of understanding) and is subsequently managed and rolled out via our secure virtual project management system Basecamp.

When creating new websites, satiworks storyboards the site for accessibility and usability, thereafter our London based designers create webskins and Gurbir’s team develop the search engine optimised php bespoke content management systems. When we need to chat we use either Instant Messenger or Skype, ensuring that always our costs are kept to a minimum and passed onto our client.
