Web application development: from workflow to first release
A web application fits when a person must submit data, approve, pay, receive a result, or return to saved workflow state—not merely read information.
Describe the workflow before screens
List actors, input data, states, transition rules, and exceptions, then add an interface only where a person must understand, decide, or correct something.
Trace real examples from request to closure because waiting points, manual reconciliation, and exceptions usually determine more scope than the happy-path screen count.
Bound the first release
A first release should take one audience through one complete primary journey while postponing rare roles, flexible builders, and unstable automation.
Our first-release reference starts at RUB 300,000 and six to eight weeks for up to five core journeys, subject to integration and data discovery.
Prove permissions and integrations
Enforce every read and write on the server, make retries idempotent, and test documentation, sandboxes, ownership, and outage behaviour for external systems early.
Dependency failure needs a queue, visible state, safe retry, and support owner; a spinner cannot be the operating contract for a payment or accounting exchange.
Accept an operating system
Test successful and failed journeys, insufficient permissions, repeated actions, dependency outages, restoration, mobile use, analytics, and client control of production accounts.
Handover should include contractual source access, design files, architecture, deployment and recovery instructions, and named product and technical owners after launch.
