It allowed us to work directly with a real client, who’s actually starting his own business, to create a product meaningful and concrete. We managed to complete this project successfully despite of the risks and we felt we did a tremendous job on developing the DG Industrial Supply website. Conclusion In conclusion, the project was a success and we felt that we have met our client needs thoroughly and successfully. Our client was very communicable in every aspect of the project as far as meetings to suggestions / changes needed to made on the project. To a develop a Website from scratch is a challenge and a lot of work, but we felt like our skills, IT expertise, and project management got the job done and we’re very well-pleased and satisfied.
