For software, healthcare technology and professional service teams across the West Coast, app development means connecting a useful idea with an experience customers want to return to. How does a new user reach something useful? What keeps both sides of a marketplace engaged? Which internal systems need to connect to the customer experience? Designli combines product thinking, UX design and engineering to work through those decisions.
Our San Francisco app development offering supports founders launching a product and enterprises improving an existing one. If you already have software, we review its condition and user experience before recommending the next investment. If you're starting fresh, we help narrow the concept into a release you can put in front of customers.

App development for West Coast founders and enterprises.
Choose the work that matches your product's stage: validate the experience, strengthen the foundation or extend what customers already use.
SaaS product development.
Shape onboarding, user roles and core workflows around the job customers hired your product to do. Start with a release you can learn from and expand with evidence.
Marketplace design and development.
Plan the experience for each side of the market, including discovery, matching and communication. Make the path from first visit to a useful connection clear.
Cross-platform mobile apps.
Reach iPhone and Android users with a coordinated mobile product. Designli evaluates shared-code approaches alongside the device capabilities your experience requires.
Product and code reviews.
Understand what is holding an existing app back. An Impact Week review helps identify technical concerns, product gaps and priorities for the next phase.
UX improvements for live products.
Examine the steps users struggle to complete. Prototype clearer flows and prioritize changes that can be evaluated through actual product use.
Enterprise web applications.
Give customers an accessible interface to complex business data. Plan integrations and permissions alongside the screens, so the product works with the organization behind it.
National Trench Safety: modernizing a connected product.
A customer-facing product can only be as useful as the information behind it. In Designli's NTS WorkZone project, the customer portal needed to work with Infor, the ERP holding account and rental data. A prototype helped business and technical stakeholders refine the experience together.
Designli paired the integration work with clearer visualization and self-service reporting. For San Francisco enterprises considering portal modernization, this portfolio example shows how UX and system architecture can be planned together. It also demonstrates how one product can establish a foundation for subsequent mobile tools.
1MAC Anesthesia: supporting a marketplace after traction.
Launching a marketplace creates a new set of product decisions once both sides begin using it. With 1MAC, healthcare facilities need qualified providers, while practitioners need relevant jobs, contract tools and pay information. The platform brings those workflows together across web and mobile.
Designli joined after version one had launched and gained traction, contributing developers with product, design and QA support to advance the existing codebase. For Bay Area marketplace founders, 1MAC is an example of our work on a product already in market, where continued iteration has to support both the customer experience and the technical foundation.
Reviews left on our San Francisco office profile.
What impressed us most was the consistency and reliability of their assessment. We had three separate teams auditing the software, and Designli's conclusions aligned directly with the top contenders we were considering for the fix. That level of precision and professionalism gave us tremendous trust in their expertise.
As a SAAS Founder, I've had my ups and downs dealing with 3rd party developers and designers so I was a bit hesitant to hire another company to audit my current system and give me their feedback. They took the time and attention necessary to not only understand my software but the industry and my clients. They came back with concepts and an entire revision of my product.
The Solution Lab was incredibly well organized and made great use of our time. Their team brought valuable insights, challenged assumptions in the right ways, and helped turn our ideas into a clear, actionable product plan. The designs they produced were thoughtful, professional, and aligned perfectly with what we were trying to achieve.
