We’ll be Your CTO
We’ll guide you every step of the way, from idea to app store. We have extensive experience developing both native and hybrid apps for a wide range of industries and sectors. Every app development project is unique, and we work hard to understand your vision and business model, so we can create a customized development plan that is complementary. We’ll work to get you to market as quickly and efficiently as possible, and can be your one-stop tech shop – you’ll never need to look further for tech needs as your business grows.
Our Process
1. Discovery
We do a deep dive to fully understand your app idea and business objectives in the short, medium, and long term. You can rest assured that our recommendations and approach will be driven by what is best for your business.
2. Strategic Plan
The most important part of any software project is outlining its features and functionality – in extensive detail. We work closely with you to make a detailed plan with clear milestones that we mutually agree to. This way our expectations are aligned from the start and you don’t have to worry about getting off track, which costs time, money, and stress.
3. System Architecture
Like the foundation of a building, it’s vital to have a sturdy infrastructure for your app. We design the infrastructure to make sure that it aligns with your business and tech goals, and is built in a way that will let you scale to accommodate growth. By getting this right, we avoid costly rebuilds when adding new features.
4. App Screen Design
It’s important to visualize what your app will look like early in the process. We’ll put together wireframes (basic outlines) for every section of the app, and fully design 5 key screens, with multiple rounds of feedback, so that we land on an attractive design that you love. By doing this, it will be easier for you to conceptualize the entire app which helps us make sure to deliver exactly what you have in mind.
5. Development & Testing
We break our development schedule into specific milestones based on your priorities and timeline. We keep you informed every step of the way with regular email updates, screenshots/video grabs, and by looping you into each testing phase. You will always have a direct line of communication with us and never have to worry about poor responsiveness.
6. Delivery and Handover
Once we’ve finished development and completed our rigorous testing cycle, we’ll handle the app store approval process, get your app published, and join you to celebrate! We’ll also send you all source code and other work products so that you have your intellectual property and product under your roof.
7. Ongoing Support
We offer two free months of bug-fix support on every project and are always happy to grow with our clients as needed. We’re always available to jump back in as needed to make changes, provide tech support, or build new features as your needs evolve. You’ll never need to look further for tech help as your business grows.
Client Testimonials
Why YourCTO?
We’re passionate about building amazing tech products. Our team has over 15 years of experience and expertise in a variety of programming languages and platforms. We always build in a strategic way so that your tech is scalable and can grow with your business. Your great ideas need to be matched by equally great tech – and that’s what we strive to deliver.
Your tech strategy has to match the needs of your business. We work hard to understand your business plan in the short, mid, and long term. Our own experience, as startup founders ourselves, and having advised executives and entrepreneurs in many sectors, helps us align with your vision.
We’ve all heard the horror stories of tech projects gone wrong – the root cause is almost always poor planning and communication. We do a deep dive to plan your project to the last detail and make sure you understand exactly how the process works. Once we start, we loop you in every step of the way and always have an open line of communication. This way, we make sure that our expectations are aligned from the start, and stay that way.
We believe in radical transparency. We go the extra mile to detail every step of a project, so that we can offer fixed price options that minimize your risk. We will never spring unexpected charges or changes on you. Equally important, if we run into any unexpected hurdles we’ll let you know right away and recommend tangible solutions.
Our role is to be your advocate and safeguard your interests, not to maximize our profit. We always recommend the approach that makes the most sense for your business, even if it means smaller contracts for us. We work hard to earn and keep your trust, and view each client relationship as a partnership. Getting you to market as quickly and efficiently as possible benefits everyone.
We believe that every entrepreneur deserves the white glove service that big companies get. That’s why we only take on as many projects as our founders can personally oversee. You’ll always work directly with one of our founders, own all work product and IP, and be treated like what you are – a top priority.
We strive to help clients start small and grow, and our software is always built to scale. As your business and tech needs grow, we can grow with you – handling everything from tech and customer support all the way to building and managing full-time teams that work only on your project.
