App Development
The Open Slate has no one specific niche or area of development. We believe in software as one large multi skilled, multi layered practice that requires a knowledge of many different skill sets. The ability to communicate effectively is something that many developers struggle with. Communication is just another form of coding when it comes down it and any good developer needs to be able to do this well.
We push ourselves past our limits to meet our clients expectations. Wether you have a small product that requires some attention, or you’re planning to build out an entire system that runs your entire business we’re here to get you where you need to be.
Web Applications
At some point businesses get to a point where they need to reach that next level. At times like these a simple website no longer gets the job done. That’s where web applications come in. We’re here to take your plans from an idea and bring it into reality.
Mobile Applications
Mobile development is where computing is headed more and more. Having a custom tool built for a specific company for a specific purpose is becoming a very popular solution to everyday business problems. Having a tool that follows you is even better.
Databases
Keeping a strong database for your applications allows you access to more advanced features. Functions like being able to query and understand where your clients are coming from. As well as why your company is doing well one week but down the next week.
Custom Software
All businesses have their own unique challenges and we are fully aware of this fact. Often times this calls for a unique solution. The ability to understand a problem can give insight as to what solutions need to implemented in order to move forward.
UX / UI
Visual data, a.k.a the way things look to us, is the fastest way people take in information. If people using your software and unable to have a good experience using it they often turn to other options. Function means nothing if you can’t interact with it.
Testing
As we’re all aware technology can be fickle. Having the correct processes in place to efficiently test your applications is mandatory. There’s no point in building something just to have it break on you one week later. This can be both time consuming and expensive.
Design & Development Process
Having a clear roadmap that everyone can follow helps with reducing inefficiencies. Below is a portion of our development process and what you can expect to see as part of working with us.
Strategy & Roadmap.
More times than not this involves the client to a large extent. Having meetings together will allow us to better understand your vision.
Visual & UX Design
Creating mockups before implementation saves a lot of time in the long run. Focusing on design separately from function is very valuable.
Development
This is where you’ll find us deepest in the trenches. In this process we’re helping to find you new and easier solutions to your problems.
Launch & Monitor
This is the fun part, however for us the job doesn’t end here. We want to make sure that your new fancy tools are working as intended.
Identifying The Issue
In working with something as complex as software it’s easy to get away from the overall goal. It’s very important to keep our goals in plain view where everyone can see it. Keeping focused on the issues at hand allows us to progress through them efficiently and effectively.
