We craft custom mobile and desktop applications, deliver intuitive UI/UX design,
and provide dependable 24/7 server support.
We create custom web applications as new systems, or as a backend to existing applications. We can build your application from scratch, or rebuild a previous application into a modern web-based system.
Craft exceptional mobile apps for iOS and Android. Whether you need an app that seamlessly integrates with a specific platform's features (native) or prioritize cost-effective development with a broader reach (hybrid), our team can deliver the perfect solution.
Design powerful desktop applications We don't just stop at mobile! our development prowess extends to crafting exceptional desktop applications. Leveraging proven technologies, we'll build custom software that seamlessly integrates with your existing workflows and unlocks new levels of efficiency for your users.
The first phase of any project with Essential Designs is the planning phase, and the User Experience and Interface design are often the most important part. We collaborate closely with you on designing the initial wireframes, and ultimately produce the final high-fidelity designs to be used in your application
Our commitment extends beyond crafting exceptional applications. We provide comprehensive software support to ensure your apps run smoothly and deliver ongoing value to your users. Our expert support team is here to answer questions, troubleshoot issues, and help you maximize the potential of your software.

Book a CallAt the start of each project, we work with our customers to build a solid project plan. The initial Scope document can come from the client or a combined process of phone calls and in-person meetings.
Once the project plan and scope have been finalized, our wireframing team takes over to determine the placement of all objects on each page of the application, whether it is a consumer mobile app or a backend business application. This is an important stage where we come to a final agreement on what will be placed on each page for the User to access.
After the wireframes for all pages have been finalized, our design team takes over to create the final appearance and functionality of the application. This is an exciting stage of the project where you can see the entire application come to life. We will provide you with clickable versions to fully experience everything the user goes through before we begin coding.
With the wireframes and designs finalized, we begin coding the application to make it functional. As an Agile development shop, we break down the project into baskets of features called Sprints. This approach allows our customers to regularly review the progress of their software development process and provide feedback at the end of each Sprint. We value your input and involvement throughout the entire development process.
The testing process for mobile and software applications is a crucial step in ensuring that the product is functional, reliable, and user-friendly. Typically, the process involves several stages, where various techniques and tools are employed to identify defects, bugs, and usability issues. The goal is to detect and correct any issues before the application is released to the public, ultimately improving the user experience and ensuring the success of the product.
After the application is completed, approved by our internal QA, project management and the client – we are ready to deploy the code to its final destination. Hosting options vary from client-owned servers to web or cloud hosting. We guide clients through the options and handle the final stages.
I have an app idea. Where do I start?
Start with a conversation! Give us a call and we can answer any questions you have and recommend next steps.
Can I get a fixed price quote?
Yes! Assuming our ballpark quote works for you, we’ll then move on to a full itemized breakdown of all tasks and features of your project and ultimately provide a detailed proposal and fixed price budget to ensure you have cost-certainty throughout the project.
What kind of information do I need to provide to get a quote?
Our Scope Document Builder is a great guideline in terms of the info we need to quote a project. Or just give us a call and we’ll ask the questions.
When my project is completed, do I own the code?
Yes. The source code and intellectual property belong to you when the project is completed. Most of our clients stay with us for post-deployment support and maintenance, but we are happy to deploy your code to any home of your choosing.
What programming languages do you use?
We leverage open source languages wherever possible with HTML, CSS and JavaScript for front-end web apps, and JavaScript or Python for the back end. For mobile apps, we can use native (Swift for iOS, Java for Android) or hybrid (React Native, Flutter) code, depending on the project’s specific needs and budget. Other technologies we support include Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Next, React, SQL, and more.
