The App Developers
Essential Designs has offices in Vancouver, Calgary, and Toronto: we build mobile applications for iOS & Android, web applications, and custom software.
We handle the process from concept to deployment for all mobile app projects. All project components are managed by the appropriate expert from Native Mobile iOS / Android coding to wireframing, graphic design, project management testing and app store approvals.
Our web app developers create highly responsive data-driven applications. The team from our Vancouver head office will guide each customer through the wireframe and design process, to create a quality bug-free web application designed for continual use.
Building high-quality software applications is only half of the job. We also build a creative and modern User Experience in every application. We are able to provide the full design process from concept to wireframe, and full graphic design for your software.
Our Process
We follow a 5 step process for all Essential Designs projects.
Each step in the app development process is managed by our internal team, with final approval by the client before proceeding to the next step. The steps are sequential, meaning prior to the start of any code by our app developers in step 4, a fully approved wireframe and design will be locked and ready for the coding and app development team.
Services We Offer
Mobile Applications
We are experts in app development. All of the custom mobile app solutions we develop for our customers are written in native code. We assign a dedicated senior developer to ensure the highest code quality and to hit delivery deadlines.
Web Applications
We create custom software and web applications as new systems, or as a backend to existing applications. Our team of app developers can build your application software from scratch, or rebuild a previous application into a modern web-based system.
Business Platforms
Managing your business with a custom application allows you to store and track the exact data that fits your company. Our app developers can build the system to your exact needs and work out the specifications with you.
UI/UX Development
The first phase of any project with Essential Designs is the planning phase, and the User Experience and Interface are the most important part. We work with you to design the appropriate wireframes and final look of the application software or mobile app before it is sent to our development team.
iOS App Development
Our dedicated senior iOS developers create custom Native Mobile applications for both iPhone and iPad. Our app developers code in Swift for new projects, and can easily tackle Objective-C for any older mobile app projects. Also, ask us about React Native for your app development projects.
