    Frequently asked questions

    What is Software Development?

    Software development is the process of designing and developing digital products and services.
    Bespoke software or custom software, is used when an off the shelf software is not fit for purpose and a business needs something tailored to their exact needs.
    Some of the most common examples of custom software development include:

    1. Customer Relationship Management (CRM) Systems
    2. Content Management Systems (CMS)
    3. Resource Planning Software
    4. Operations Management Software
    5. eCommerce Software

    What is Software Development life cycle?

    The Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) is the process followed for software development projects.
    The SDLC defines a methodology for increasing the quality and improving the overall development process. A typical Software Development Life Cycle will follow the below steps:

    1. Planning and discovery
    2. Clear definition of requirements
    3. Product Architecture
    4. Development
    5. QA and Testing
    6. Launch

    What is the difference between custom software and off the shelf software?

    There are both advantages and disadvantages to custom software development and off the shelf software.
    With off the shelf software you are selecting a pre-built platform, that will use existing design and code templates, to launch your software product. If you are working to a tight timeline with limited budgets, off the shelf may be the best option for you.
    Alternatively, with bespoke software development you are building a product that is tailored to your exact needs, meaning you can spec out the required features and functionality from the outset.
    And more importantly, if your concept is complex and requires multiple integrations, or you want to retain the IP, a custom solution is the route to take.

    How long does it take to build a custom software solution?

    The time it takes to build your custom software will be dependent on the features and functionality required. Our approach starts with the Research and Product Discovery phase, before moving into User Experience (UX) and User Interface (UI), and finally into MVP development or full development..
    But we don’t stop there. Unlike other providers, we will guide and support you as your business grows and challenges throughout your journey.

    How much does custom software development cost?

    The short answer is that the cost of custom software development will depend entirely on the features and functionality required.
    The first step in our approach is always the Product Discovery stage, from which we will better understand your requirements and create a business roadmap forward with you.

    Do you support me and my business after the software is built?

    Yes. We offer you the full support of our expert digital product development and agency team. From project managers, UX designers, digital managers, developers and even advice from our in-house marketing team, a full support system is in place for your business.
