1. Conceptualize

We dive into your vision and goals for your app. We make sure to understand your goals, target audience, and unique value proposition. We write user stories to confirm functionality/features.

2. Build & Iterate

We build with cutting-edge no and low-code platforms to bring your concept to life quickly. Iterative feedback loops ensure your input is incorporated before launch.

3. Launch

We test your app with a small group of users, gather their feedback and refine the app. We provide support docs for your users. You're now ready to launch with all the users.

4. Support

You'll need to update your app as users provide feedback and reply to their questions. We provide ongoing app maintenance and support as you need.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of digital transformation projects do you create?

We offer the full spectrum of tools that can take businesses to the next level: websites, apps (both web and mobile), dashboards, platforms, and more. We also specialize in no-code and low-code automation tools that free up your workday by automating time-intensive tasks like form creation and data collection.

What exactly is “no-code” or “low-code”?

A no-code or low-code approach is exactly what it sounds like: a way of designing digital products that doesn’t require technical expertise in coding. Low-code is a visual approach to software development that enables faster delivery of applications. Many agencies today, like us, focus on no- and low-code tools because they’re faster, simpler, and more cost-effective to implement. They’re also a key part of the movement to democratize data and tech, putting cutting-edge tools within reach of everyone, not just developers. For example, if you're non-technical, you can create and design powerful custom databases to drive your key workflows. Learn more in this blog post.

Is there a trade-off by going the no-code route?

No-code is a win-win. Our no- and low-code products perform just like those built manually by developers. The only thing you “lose” is the hassle and expense of a longer timeline and a bigger budget. By having us build your digital products with no and low-code tools, you won't need to hire expensive developers. You'll also be able to accelerate your project deadline and launch quicker. Another big bonus is that you can work directly with the final product, handling maintenance and minor updates yourself, regardless ofyour level of technical knowledge.

Does that mean no-code is just for SMBs?

No-code is for everyone, not just small or medium-sized businesses. Rapid development saves them time, money and stress. These are important benefits for everyone, from solopreneurs to enterprise-level organizations.

Is design part of your services?

Absolutely! Beautiful, user-centric design is key to building a great product, so we put care and effort into designing digital solutions that look as great as they work.

What’s your work process?

A full rundown of our work process is available here. But, in a nutshell, we get to know you and your business needs and put together a plan for reaching them. Once we’re all on the same page in terms of job scope and budget, we get to work executing the vision.

How fast can you deliver my project?

Timelines vary according to the needs of each project, but in general, we make things happen much faster than you might expect, getting from discovery to handoff in a matter of weeks.

What about pricing?

Since no two projects are quite the same, we determine project pricing case by case. We use a fixed-rate pricing model, which means that you know the exact amount to budget for upfront. In certain cases, there may be ongoing subscription fees for tools and services (e.g. Airtable) that you will sign up for directly. We will identify and recommend these upfront so you can evaluate the options and choose the ones that work best for you.
