Case Studies

Below are included case studies worked on / being worked on during 2005.

Case Study 1

Secure Area, allowing users to upload files
A designer approached ADEW, wanting to provide a 'secure area' on one of their clients sites, so users could create folders on the site & upload files. On consultation with ADEW, the designer produced sample HTML pages with design on, and asked ADEW to advise on best implementation method, and produce fixed price quote.  ADEW did this, and the quote was accepted.  The 'secure area' pages were developed on a temporary site, and once the designer was happy with implementation, ADEW uploaded and configured files on live site, and it went live.

ADEW Charge: £495

Case Study 2

Rewriting a Content Management System for large corporate company
A design company approached ADEW who had a new business contact - a large corporate company that needed a fairly complex Content Management System rewriting.  The design company approached ADEW for advice and development assistance.  ADEW provided advice, went to a meeting the end client, discussing the technical implementation, and proposed a solution, via a fixed price quote to the design company. 

The quote was accepted, ADEW implemented the Content Management System, and integrated into new site design provided by designers, and assisted designers to get site up and running.  The design company would not have got the project had they not outsourced the project to ADEW.
