Our Back-End Process
01
Requirements and system design
We define what the system has to do, what it has to survive, and what it will need to become: functional requirements, load expectations, security obligations, and the integrations it must support. The system is designed on paper before it is built in code.
02
Architecture and data modeling
We design the architecture and data model to match how your business actually operates: entities, relationships, permissions, and the workflows the system must execute. Getting the data model right early prevents the class of problems that are expensive to fix later.
03
Development and integration
Development proceeds in structured increments with code review, testing, and integration work happening continuously rather than at the end. You see working functionality throughout the build, not a reveal at the deadline.
04
Testing, security, and deployment
Before deployment, the system is load tested, security reviewed, and validated against the requirements defined at the start. Deployment includes monitoring, logging, and the documentation your team or ours needs to operate it with confidence.
Who builds the back end.
Engineers who design for the failure cases, the scale curve, and the systems your operations depend on.
Acclivity Health Solutions
Our website was slow and didn't reflect our new messaging, so we brought Temper And Forge in to help us rebuild it. They redesigned our website layout and architecture, revamped our resources section so users can sort by section and market, and built the new site in WordPress using Advanced Custom Fields. They were incredibly communicative throughout — they used Monday.com to keep us on track and were always responsive. We get excellent value for our money.
