development
So you're looking for
development?
Daunting task, isn't it? Almost like choosing a life partner but possibly more expensive and tough to find a good one. A crying shame considering how much good software can do for your organisation by unlocking more value in your staff and processes.

Let's fix that.

In all fairness it is a somewhat complicated field. That's why we're simplifying it without technical jargon, industry buzzwords and more importantly, by using simple transparent rates.
Web applications
business. improved

The year is 2022 and business applications are moving to the cloud where they belong. Gone are the days of having to connect to a VPN to access an archaic desktop application hidden somewhere behind layers of frustration. Or wondering how you'll access it when you only have a mobile device handy. With improved user experience designs, better visual interfaces and substantially increased performance, what's not to fall in love with?

No VPN, no remote desktop, no drama.

Increased efficiency

Web apps allow automating a process and decrease human error. Furthermore, they allow for streamlining of processes making it easier to manage everything and get more tasks done quickly.

Round-the-Clock Accessibility

Customers can access information about a business and take necessary actions anytime. Easily accessible 24/7 from both desktop and mobile since they're accessed through web browsers.

Enhanced Cybersecurity

Web applications store your data safely in the cloud. If the hardware is damaged, you will only need to know your web address, username, and password to log into a system from any desktop or mobile device connected to the Internet and get your e-business back instantly.

Almost Zero Downtime

Cloud allows for fall back onto backups in the very unlikely event of hardware failure. Most modern web apps operate on shared hosting services, implying that users should pay according to their usage maintained by hosting service providers. All this ensures almost zero downtime.

Easy-to-Customize & Scale

Adding more processing resources to a cloud environment is as easy as pressing a button. Since a web app is a web-based solution and is rendered from there to the end user's device it is easy to release new features.

Easy Installation and Maintenance

Web apps are a less expensive solution because they can perfectly run on different devices. Unlike in native apps, there is no need to build apps separately for all the OS and devices. You only need to make a web app responsive to make it cross-platform compatible at the same time
