Designli for mobile app development.
Designli tackles your business challenges head-on, offering tailored solutions through cross-platform mobile app development. Our agile team guides startups, SMBs, and enterprises with flexibility, allowing you to start, stop, and iterate as needed. With Designli, customize your development team to match your project's scale, supported by on-demand expertise.
Agile development, the best way to build a mobile app.
First, develop key features to build the MVP that becomes your initial release. This lays the groundwork for continuous iteration. Designli’s adaptable service allows for flexible staffing as you scale up or down at will.
Agile development: boosting your project's success by 60%.
This systematic, organized approach fosters continuous improvement throughout the project's scope. It allows companies to adapt flexibly and address issues promptly. While Agile development can be efficient, it demands sustained attention and designated roles that may not be necessary post-development. Hence, companies opt for Designli's agile mobile app development services; scaling down the team post-project completion avoids layoffs.
Want agility? Dedicate a full-time development team.
Successful development relies upon collaboration and a systematic approach. When companies outsource to independent freelancers, they risk completing tasks ad-hoc. Aspects of the software develop out of sync, leading to painful integration headaches down the line. This is why we assign our developers full-time to your project, pouring themselves into your goals with dedicated focus until the mission is accomplished.
Designli: in-house, on-demand.
When you hire Designli to build your mobile app, we'll assign more than just developers. A great mobile app requires the constant attention of a Product Owner with knowledge of your business and objectives, as well as a UX/UI Designer to keep a constant eye on the user experience.
The best app development teams exist at this intersection, blending the skill-sets of engineers, designers, and business minds to create a truly wonderful mobile experience that drives business value. Let's jump on a call to disuss how our team can solve your business problems with custom-built mobile software.
Best coding languages for building mobile apps.
A strategic tech stack streamlines development. Navigating each language or framework's unique benefits requires significant experience with the nuances of each. Thankfully, Designli does the research for you.

React Native vs. Flutter: our frontrunner for cross-platform development.
Cross-platform development allows apps to run seamlessly across platforms, saving time and cost. React Native and Flutter are top choices: Flutter, developed by Google, and React Native by Meta (formerly Facebook). We favor React Native for cross-platform development due to its scalability and reliability, as seen in apps like Instagram and Pinterest. However, Designli also has Flutter developers to accommodate specific tech stack requirements or integrate existing code.React Native uses TypeScript, a prevalent language targeted at enterprise-level applications.React Native is great for scaling because of TypeScript's popularity and inherent capabilities. Dart, the language Flutter uses, is only utilized by that framework.React Native uses JSX syntax for building UI. It’s a simpler, cleaner code with functional components and hooks.Meta ownership provides more support for both Android & iOS, whereas Google, Flutter’s creator, hasn’t been as reliable.React Native integrates fundamental UI elements, providing native app behavior.You can still build desktop and web apps, which many developers feel are supported better than Flutter. -
Back-end development: NodeJS and NestJS.
NodeJS is a JavaScript runtime built on Chrome’s V8 JavaScript engine. Node.js allows the creation of web servers and networking tools using JavaScript and a collection of "modules" that handle various core functionalities. NodeJS is the best solution for lightweight applications using real-time data.
NestJS is an excellent framework that combines the strengths of NodeJS and TypeScript. This combination makes NestJS fast and easy to build robust, almost infinitely scalable applications, which is ideal for supporting our enterprise clients. -
AWS for cloud-based hosting.
Amazon Web Services (AWS) provides on-demand cloud computing, data storage platforms, and application programming interfaces. Benefits of AWS:Super Scalable: One of its most significant advantages is its super scalable infrastructure, which allows businesses to adjust resources based on demand effortlessly, ensuring optimal performance without over-provisioning.Support: AWS boasts excellent support services, ensuring enterprises can access assistance whenever needed.Flexibility: Its flexibility and power enable companies to tailor their hosting environment to suit specific requirements, fostering innovation and efficiency. AWS provides various customizable options to fine-tune their setups and match unique needs.Built-in DevOps: AWS streamlines development processes with built-in DevOps tools, enhancing collaboration and agility.Data-Driven Insight: AWS's integration of AI and ML capabilities empowers enterprises to derive valuable insights from their data.Open Source Integration: AWS excels in integrating with open-source communities compared to Azure. It offers extensive compatibility and support for various tools and technologies, enhancing its appeal for enterprise-level hosting needs. -
Why not Swift and Kotlin instead of React Native?
Device-specific languages for iOS and Android, like Swift and Kotlin, require developers to program the mobile app not once – but twice. A single codebase, such as React Native, significantly streamlines the deployment process. This approach dramatically reduces costs and development time since there's no need to rewrite the application in a second language and then maintain two separate codebases.
By leveraging React Native, developers can efficiently build and maintain mobile apps for both iOS and Android platforms simultaneously. By optimizing resources and maximizing reach, companies enhance cost-effectiveness during development. The simplified process lets teams focus more on innovation and user experience than platform-specific complexities.
By Designli: custom mobile apps we love (and built).
Virtuosity.
Designli helped Mary Crossan and Dr. Corey Crossan create a custom mobile application capable of bolstering character development and cultivating better leadership practices across institutions. Using custom coaching and e-learning technology, the Virtuosity app provides self-assessments, daily exercises, and tailored learning plans to aid organizations and meet their growth goals.
Designli development impact: cultivating new market growth.
Virtuosity shifted to a software-enabled services model, selling custom mobile apps and admin portals alongside training workshops to government entities and universities. This approach drives revenue growth, enhancing profitability for Crossan Associates Consulting.
Mobile app key features:
E-learning app lessons.
Virtuosity provides an entire library of character building resources.
Customized daily exercises.
Each user receives daily routines to help them achieve their character growth goals.
Collaborative team building.
Users can share exercises, ideas, and insights with others at the organization.
Objective assessments.
Provides objective assessments to help users track progress over time.
Admin portal and analytics dashboard.
We built an Admin dashboard that allows administrators to view organizational trends using dashboards and reports to asses real-time trends, participant well-being and key performance indicators.
Paidback.
Critical to the client’s vision was allowing users to sync their banking transactions (like payments to student loan accounts and credit cards) automatically, and congratulating those users when their balances were lowered.
In addition to transaction tracking, our client dreamed of building a full-blown social network to allow users to motivate one another. Social networking functionality gets very large in scope very quickly; the Designli team helped Amber prioritize, getting the most social ‘bang for the buck’ while keeping her Version 1 budget in check.
Icueity.
Icueity is a mobile application that brings the power of a 360 review to a user’s fingertips, 365 days of the year. It allows individuals to (1) gain critical insight on the personal traits they value, (2) identify awareness gaps between their self-perception and how they are perceived by others, and (3) use that input to pursue their maximum potential and effectiveness. Icueity gives users continuous, valuable, anonymous feedback—from others they trust—that confirms or contradicts what they believe to be true about themselves.
