Designli for mobile app development.
Designli tackles your business challenges head-on with tailored solutions through cross-platform mobile app development. Our agile team guides startups, SMBs, and enterprises with flexibility — start, stop, and iterate as needed.
Schedule a ConsultationAgile development: the best way to build a mobile app.
First, develop the key features that make up your MVP — the initial release that establishes your product in market. This lays the groundwork for continuous iteration.
Designli's adaptable service allows for flexible staffing as you scale up or down. No commitments to roles you don't need next quarter, no scrambling when you need to ship faster.
Agile development: boosting your project's success by 60%.
Agile is a systematic approach that fosters continuous improvement and adapts flexibly to address issues as they emerge — not after launch.
And because our teams scale with you, agile also avoids the post-project layoff cycle that ends so many internal builds. Velocity stays high. Quality stays high. Costs stay predictable.
Want agility? Dedicate a full-time development team.
Successful mobile development relies on collaboration and a systematic approach. When companies outsource to independent freelancers, they risk completing tasks ad-hoc — features ship out of sync, integrations break, and the codebase becomes a mosaic of competing styles.
A dedicated team writes consistent code, owns the roadmap, and ships features that compose into a coherent product.
Designli: in-house, on-demand.
Your dedicated team includes developers, a Product Owner, and a UX/UI Designer — working at the intersection of engineering, design, and business strategy.
Each member is full-time on your product. They learn your users, your codebase, and your goals. They ship with the velocity of an internal team and the leverage of a partner who has done this hundreds of times.
Best coding languages for building mobile apps.
A strategic tech stack streamlines development. Our default mobile stack:
React Native (vs. Flutter)
We favor React Native for cross-platform development due to its scalability and reliability — used by Instagram, Pinterest, and Discord. TypeScript support, JSX syntax, native UI elements, and the ability to extend into desktop and web.
Back-end: NodeJS + NestJS
NodeJS is the best solution for lightweight applications using real-time data. NestJS combines NodeJS and TypeScript for robust, almost infinitely scalable applications.
AWS cloud hosting
Super scalable infrastructure, excellent support, flexible configuration, built-in DevOps, AI/ML data integration, and best-in-class open-source compatibility.
Why not Swift or Kotlin?
Device-specific languages for iOS and Android require developers to program the mobile app not once — but twice. React Native lets a single team ship to both platforms with one codebase.
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.
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 assess 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 gain critical insight on the personal traits they value, identify awareness gaps between their self-perception and how they are perceived by others, and 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.
