Interview & high-level requirements
You tell us your ideas, business needs, audience, and goals. We analyze this information to create high-level technical requirements, build a project roadmap, and provide you with a rough estimate.
UI/UX design & specifications
We create wireframes showcasing your custom software's design. Our team then builds a prototype of your future product and prepares detailed technical requirements based on the approved product's logic and design.
Development
Our software engineers use the Scrum methodology to build your product in 2-week sprints. You set task priorities and can track their progress and outcomes. We show you the implemented features every two sprints.
Quality assurance
We use both manual and automatic testing to ensure the quality of every piece of software developed during a sprint. We also run regression and integration tests.
Delivery & support
We deploy the software, transfer all technical documents to you, and assist you in launching your website or publishing your mobile app on app stores. Our team can also provide software support and maintenance services.
Frequently
Asked
Questions
Unlike off-the-shelf solutions offering the same functionality for all users, custom applications are built based on specific client requirements.
Custom software development services usually include market research, UI/UX design, coding, deployment, and maintenance. They can also involve SaaS development, legacy system modernization, product customization, as well as API development & integration.
Custom software product development can take from a few weeks to several months. The timeline depends on the project scope and complexity, the required third-party API integrations, team expertise, development methodology, and many other aspects.
However, a perfectly synchronized team and well-honed processes help us save our clients up to 30% of the development time.
Custom software development costs depend on various factors, including the project's scope, timeline, developers' seniority, and team location. You need to share your product vision and requirements with your software development vendor to get a detailed estimate.
One of the most effective ways to make the process more budget-friendly is to outsource it to a reputable custom software development company in Central and Eastern Europe. The developers there provide the same expertise and quality of work but charge much lower hourly rates than their colleagues in the US or Western Europe ($30-65/hour vs. $65-250/hour).
With Giraffe Software, you can cut your IT budget by up to 50% since our rates are much lower than those charged by developers in many other regions, including the US or Western Europe. Moreover, when you hire our custom software developers, you can speed up your product's launch by 30% thanks to our well-established and proven processes.
We also take pride in our outstanding expertise, with around 80% of our developers being middle and senior specialists, and we have a solid track record of successfully completed projects. Our team is always ready to go beyond expectations to ensure client satisfaction.
When selecting a custom software development company, consider factors like their experience, expertise in relevant technologies and industries, successful project history, testimonials, and communication skills.
Also, make sure they provide the services you need. For example, not all custom app development companies provide legacy software modernization services. It's also good to ask if the company follows an agile methodology (like Scrum or Kanban) to ensure an efficient development process.
Finally, check out the company's reviews on Clutch, GoodFirms, or Upwork.
It depends on the project's complexity and your budget. The fixed-price model is more appropriate for short-term, predictable projects with well-defined requirements.
The Time & Material (T&M) model lets you negotiate an hourly rate, which is ideal for complex custom software product development projects with vague scope.
Giraffe Software also offers a hybrid model with a capped minimal and maximum price, which is the best fit for startups and offline businesses looking to embrace digitalization.
Aligned in both project goals and work style, Giraffe Software has proven to be a productive, cost-effective partner. Their clear communication and adaptability have earned them an expanded scope.
