Application Design & Development

Get a Reliable Application With Only the Features Your Business Needs

Finding software that matches your unique needs can be a real challenge. Most pre-built programs try to appeal to everyone by cramming in tons of features, but more features often lead to bloated software and a confusing user experience. Even with all of the functionality available, off the shelf software is often missing that one mission critical piece that only your business would benefit from. Wouldn't it be great to have an application built just for you?

An application that is built for you is focused on one thing: solving the problem you're facing in the best possible way. 

Imagine a system that is easy for staff to use because it matches your work flow and has just the right features in a polished interface that makes sense. Wouldn't it be great not to worry about reliability, accessibility or speed because your business system takes advantage of cloud technologies that allow it to be available 24/7 to employees, partners and clients? Imagine not having to enter the same 500 records into multiple systems because your application knows how to work with others? Wouldn't you like to feel confident that your investment can be adapted and expanded as your business grows and your needs change?

Our exceptionally built custom applications can achieve these goals and provide value for your business, while allowing you to focus on more important things.

Application Development Services

Modern development includes much more than programming. Depending on your needs, we can help take you from idea to launch or provide expert support in the following areas:

  • Project planning and system design
  • Prototype and wireframing
  • User experience and user interface design
  • Custom web application development
  • Custom programming for websites
  • Application marketing support

How can a custom application help your business?

Our team of in-house developers and user experience experts can help you:

Develop an application that will help create business efficiencies
If you're like most businesses, you probably have many processes that are key to running your business that could benefit from some level of automation. We build reliable custom applications that allow you to efficiently process and share data with staff, partners and customers. 

Modernize a legacy business application
You probably feel like you're being held hostage if your business relies on an out-of-date legacy application that isn't working right and can't be upgraded. We develop modern, maintainable applications that match your current business and work flow needs. We know that changing from one application to another isn't always easy, so we create a transition plan that includes staff training and moving data out of the old system and into the new. 

Improve the user experience or interface of an existing application
Do you already have an app created or in development that's difficult to use or lacks the visual polish needed to really make it shine? As professional designers, we make sure your app is visually impressive and a delight to use.    

Add custom functionality to your website to better serve customers 
If your business website is primarily a brochure, you're probably missing out on ways to better serve your customers. We have experience developing custom functionality that transforms your website into a more valuable, efficient business tool. Some examples of this include: online ordering, inventory and billing systems, visualization tools, customer portals, publishing tools, and sharing data with internal systems or third party providers.

How much does it cost to develop a custom application?

Short answer, it depends. But here's how we figure that out: 

We take a phased approach to development. The first phase includes learning about your organization, identifying your goals and defining the problems we'll solve together. This phase often includes collaborative working sessions that lead to a solid project plan with recommendations and costs. This planning phase is crucial to ensuring everyone is on the same page and we can deliver a reliable application that will solve your problem for years to come.
