Application development
Front-end development
Since JavaScript development focuses entirely on the front-end, it is ideal for software redesign projects where clients want to overhaul their existing product’s UX while keeping all their back-end code and data largely untouched. In some cases, we may make recommendations to update certain APIs and/or data to either increase performance or align better with the new UX.
- HTML / CSS assets that your development team can actually use
- Component usage guidelines and documentation in Storybook
- JavaScript app components and/or partially functioning prototypes, ready to be hooked into your APIs
Middle and back-end development
Under the direction of a Product Manager (ours or yours), your software product is built by our team of on-staff application developers (all based in the USA) that are dedicated to your product. In fact, you will get to know all your team members on a first name basis — something you’re not likely to get from any offshore development firm.
Some of our middle and back-end development services include:
- Software architecture: With UX blueprints and technical specification in hand, a software architect specialist creates the overall system architecture, domain model and data schema.
- Proof on concepts: Testing key functions, requirements or technical challenges before they are included in a design or specification.
- Application development: The App Dev team creates the application’s components / modules and unit tests them using technologies that work best for your project.
- Deployment: Our Product Support Team prepares the application's production environment and coordinates deployments.
Developer handoff
One of the biggest challenges when starting development is communicating how the design is intended to function. That’s no problem for us. We pair with developers and provide HTML/CSS assets, answer questions and review screens as they are developed.
Some of our developer handoff services include:
- Product requirements: A light-weight requirements document that provides business and technical teams with summary-level descriptions on how the features of the product are expected to function based on a user’s interaction with the product.
- Design specs: Documented standards on when to use certain components and patterns as well as colors, spacing and fonts that are typically included in a design system.
- UX refinements: As screens are developed, a UX designer will review screens to ensure the experience is as intended.
- Design support: A designer is available to answer questions about intended interactions or functionality and to brainstorm about how to handle unanticipated complexities or requirements.
- Technical specifications: A development team’s instruction manual that clearly articulates and defines exactly how each piece of functionality should be developed.
- Accessibility checks: UX Team reviews your application to ensure it is as accessible as possible.
