In our line of work, we recognize the need for efficiency and in order to stay ahead of our competition, we utilize the best tools and resources available on the market.

What is your average cost of mobile app development?
There are different types of clients and budgets, from new founders to Enterprise level, so we offer a variety of solutions based on the budget available.
To make small budgets go a long way, we always work iteratively and lean with first-time founders. As we launch a functional first version, our focus is on making the core idea a success. User testing with live users as well as showcasing the product to potential investors are both possible with this model.
Therefore, there is no one-size-fits-all approach to budgeting, but in most cases, the client will need a budget upward of $10,000 for a good, scalable first version of a mobile app.
Provide a list of your 5 domain specializations.
Because we work with startups and small businesses from a wide range of domains & backgrounds, we are always focused on building relationships with clients first to identify opportunities within their companies and solve problems for their customers, no matter what industry.
We have become experts in designing and building mobile apps across a wide range of industries, but a lot of our work has been in health & fitness, Realestate, fintech, Banking, Health Care, E-commerce, Food, and Restaurants, etc.
What is the app development process that you follow?
Our development team uses agile methodologies. During the scope definition phase, we break the project down into clearly defined user stories that encompass all of the functionality needed. We then organize the work into epics (groups of related functionality) and assign story points estimating the amount of work to each epic. Every two weeks, we plan a sprint and put stories into sprints, which comprise our daily workload. We host a sprint review at the end of each sprint, where work is reviewed before a demo release is made.
What is the new technology you are working on?
We are working on projects with Reactjs (Front end ) and Java or spring-boot for the back end in web platform development and Flutter or Reactnative in mobile application development.
Do you work on technologies like IoT, Blockchain or Artificial Intelligence?
We work with artificial intelligence mostly for websites and WhatsApp chatbots. When possible, we integrate deep learning into the products we build. We build classification and recommendation systems based on large datasets provided by our customers.
