Software Development
Software development at DevHub means designing, building and maintaining custom web and mobile applications for a client, rather than configuring off-the-shelf software. Engagements cover the whole life of the system: architecture, implementation, deployment and the changes that follow launch.
Who this is for
Business owners and IT managers who need a system that existing products do not cover, and who want the team that builds it to still be reachable a year later.
Problems this solves
- Off-the-shelf software almost fits, and the gap is where the actual work happens.
- An existing system works but nobody remaining at the company understands it.
- A prototype proved the idea and now has to survive real users and real load.
- Development stalled because the original vendor moved on.
How the work runs
- 1
Understand the work first
We map the process the software is meant to support before proposing a design. Most failed builds are correct implementations of a misunderstood workflow.
- 2
Agree the architecture in writing
Data model, integration points and deployment target are settled and documented before implementation starts, so the expensive decisions are made deliberately.
- 3
Build in reviewable increments
Work ships in pieces you can open and use, not as one delivery at the end. Direction is corrected while correcting it is still cheap.
- 4
Hand over so you are not dependent on us
Documentation, deployment steps and a walkthrough with your team. The measure of a good handover is that your developers can make the next change without calling us.
Technologies we use for this
Common questions
- Do you work with existing codebases, or only new projects?
- Both. Taking over an existing system starts with a review of the code, the data model and the deployment setup, so the scope of any change is understood before it is quoted.
- Who owns the code you write?
- The client does. Source code, deployment configuration and documentation are handed over as part of delivery.
- What happens after launch?
- Continuing support is arranged per engagement. There is no lock-in that prevents another team taking over — the handover exists precisely so that stays possible.
