1 Product discovery

Before the development work begins, we need to conduct initial product discovery and collect all information about your future product. To ensure the success of your software project, we thoroughly analyze your business environment and direct competitors, define the project goals and scope, analyze risks and opportunities, estimate the budget, set deadlines and priorities, and map out a feasible project development plan. 

We compile technical documentation that includes technical specifications, selected technical stacks, and tools for future software product development.

2 UI/UX design

We dedicate an experienced design team that builds product logic, architecture, and user flows. Our team designs high-fidelity wireframes and clickable prototypes to finalize the visual appearance of future software products. 

UI designers create a design system or UI kit with all elements, components, and accessibility features for future software products. Also, the design team maintains your brand identity and creates branding elements if needed. 

The QA team tests software navigation, logic, and all product components through our in-house UX lab.

3 Development

Depending on the project’s scope of work, we assign back-end developers to implement the application’s server side, APIs, and business logic, and front-end developers to transform UI design into a functioning user side. Using pre-defined technical documentation, developers write code for all software components.

Our developers stay in tune with the latest technologies and use solid technical stacks to develop high-quality and sustainable software products. Our QA engineers simultaneously conduct various testing for all developed components to shorten the time to release, reduce costs and deliver impeccable quality.

4 Deployment & Integration

Next, we deliver the software to users for beta testing. After receiving feedback from users, we make adjustments and improvements if needed. At this step, our primary goal is to ensure that the new software product is hack-proof and bug-free.

5 Maintenance

We focus on long-term cooperation with our customers and offer ongoing software support, regular functionality updates, and troubleshooting. Our team is always in touch and ready to maintain your software product anytime!
