How can you help me?

We architect and develop new web applications, join existing development teams remotely, do remote and on-site consulting, and teach front-end.

Can you work on a fixed-cost project?

No. Fixed-cost project are conflict of interests: if it takes more time than planned you get the bare minimum, if it takes less you overpay. It is important to be able to adjust quickly and think outside of the box; detailed fixed specs don't allow that. If the budget is fixed the scope should be flexible.

Do you have back-end or full-stack developers?

We are focused on front-end technologies and have expertise in client-side applications. We do have people that can help with NodeJS backend in some special cases. It is something we can discuss on a call.

Do you build mobile apps?

No, neither native (Swift, Java, Kotlin) nor hybrid (React Native, Cordova, Ionic). We specialize in web platform and would be able to help with adapting a web application to mobile web or PWA.

Can you build a WordPress website?

No. We develop interactive single-page applications with modern mainstream frameworks based on JavaScript/TypeScript. We can connect you with our partner that can provide such services.

Can you help me interview front-end candidates?

Not as a standalone service. In some cases we help existing development clients onboard new developers to projects we have participated in by preparing and holding interviews and training their new hires.

Absolutely. As long as you are fine with remote team extension (all our people work from one office) we can work either as a managed workforce or can lead the planning and managing of the front end along development.

Have you worked with a company similar to ours?

Over the years we have helped over 200 companies from different industries. Most likely that we have worked with a company like yours in the past. Check our clients page to see for yourself.

Can you build an MVP?

Yes. However take into account that building an MVP usually does not require expensive professionals. Many times it is better to hire cheaper engineers and rewrite the MVP once the product is validated and you are ready to build for the long term. Give us a call to discuss this further.

Do you design apps?

No. We can introduce you to design companies we have successfully worked with in the past. During the development we provide UX insights, but it is not a substitution for a professional designer.

Do you write technical specs?

No. In case of front-end applications, fixed technical specifications are counterproductive. It is better to provide a visual representation together with short explanations and work closely with the developer and the designer as requirements tend to change frequently.

Do you help with DevOps?

We can have a technical discussion about different solutions, but usually leave the technical implementation and configuration to DevOps specialists.

No. Our goal is to make sure our clients have enough expertise to keep developing, supporting, and maintaining their projects on their own. We are happy to help with further development and consulting, but we don't look to stay in projects longer than necessary.

Can your developers sit in our office?

Not on a regular basis. We work as a team which is important for our people to feel a part of the company and for our clients, as they get the expertise of the entire company instead of a one person. We can visit once in a while for important meetings, integrations, or discussions.

How do you ensure QA?

We check the functionality during development and have internal code review policies to ensure code quality. Provided enough budget, we can write automated testing (this usually doubles the development time). We don't have a dedicated QA team for manual or automated testing.

Do you work on weekends or late evenings?

No. We make effort to foresee unrealistic estimations and help mitigate emergencies before overtime work is necessary. We always advise not to push to production on Thursdays and make sure there are reliable rollback mechanisms for reverting changes.
