Yes, nearly every mobile app that we build also needs a web-based application behind the scenes to drive it—ever logged into an app? There is a web server in the background, serving the app with data that is checking whether you have permission to log in or not.

We make some web applications that are simple admin panels for updating information as an admin user, and we build others that are advanced and interactive tech products. We build front-end web apps using the React framework, which is well suited to create rich and extendible user interfaces, though we can support other frameworks.

You will be introduced to our project team, who will be your primary point of contact throughout the development process. You can contact Vallettasoft via phone or email, and we also have a dedicated support portal which allows you to track the status of requests, have discussions, and upload other useful information. We also offer a range of support and maintenance options to ensure we are responsive to your requests after the launch date. You can read more about our project management process in our answer to “How will you project manage my project?”.

Yes, you will be assigned appropriate copyright or licence rights for the bespoke code we write for your project. We are transparent with intellectual property rights, and you will have the opportunity to review our code ownership terms before the project begins.

Many factors contribute to launching a successful project, and some requirements may result in the project taking longer to develop than others.

However, for estimation, a good guide is that a project typically takes one month for every 8k +VAT of development work, plus 2-4 weeks for planning and 2-4 weeks to complete user acceptance testing.

For example, in practice, 15k projects take around 3-4 months, 25k projects take 4-5 months, 35k projects take 5-6 months, and so on.

Our digital agency was founded in 2011, so we have almost 12 years of experience transforming brands’ online presence. Need more information, contact us!

Yes, we offer the option to engage us on an ad-hoc basis for support or have monthly retainer options should you require a more consistent and reliable level of service.

Most of our clients choose monthly support retainer to get the best responsivity, as dedicated time is scheduled months in advance. This also allows them to lock in our project hourly rate for support and maintenance requests. If you have a highly technical project with us, we recommend opting for a monthly support retainer to cover small ad-hoc changes, improvements, updates and support.

Ad-hoc support can work for projects that need minimal support. However, this can be at the expense of responsivity as requests are scheduled based on when our resource is available and cost more per hour than scheduled retainer or project work. 

We base the size and cost of our support agreements on the amount of development and support hours you need each month. The number of hours you need depends on many factors, such as the size of your project or the number of new features you are likely to need each month. It’s important that you get value for money, so we’d recommend putting together a nice-to-have list so that your allocation is used each month on value-adding improvements.

If you are likely to make extensions to your project after the launch of the first version, then we would recommend switching to an Agile method of project management. This is where we assign a monthly budget for development, and plan, build, test, and launch code revisions in short bursts of time called sprints.
