Every project is unique, and before writing even one line of code, we need to figure out which tools and tech stack will work better for this particular product.
For web application development, our tools of choice are:
-
Back-end Development
Ruby on Rails
Node.js
Phoenix
-
Front-end Development
Angular.js
React
Ember.js
However, with our vast experience providing website development services, developing different projects on different technologies and services, we can work a vast variety of other stacks as well: Elixir and Phoenix, Go, PHP, you name it!
Let's talk about some web development services where we feel strongest at:
Consulting and Business Analysis
The very first stage of the product life cycle will help us to understand if the future product will really help users to achieve their goals. Business Analysis will help us to know if it will be possible to make a sustainable business out of the given idea.
At this stage, our experienced architects and engineers will help to find the best technology stack that will help us to develop the product fast, write maintainable code, and develop the best possible user experience.
Product development
We are in web app development business for years, and we worked on every possible project type. From small utility apps to social networks, and from entertainment projects to complex b2b products.
We prefer to use Scrum / Agile methodologies during development. It means we work closely with Product Owner to define and prioritize system functionality, and to break down all the features into smaller tasks. Together, we choose a list of functions that we will work on during each sprint.
During the sprint, we develop all the selected features, test them, and when sprint is finished, we deliver the result to a customer. After delivery, all the tasks are analyzed and reprioritized, and the next sprint is selected.
This iterative approach helps us to deliver software fast and with higher quality and to keep all sides involved in the project.
Support & maintenance
Even when the application has been released to the store, our professional web development team does not stop working. Now we will start receiving feedback from real users. At this stage, it is essential to figure out which feedback will help the app to get better, and which feedback can be even harmful.
Besides, most of the projects need continuous maintenance, which helps to ensure that software will be able to run at peak performance, will not have security problems, and so on. During this stage developers are focused on addressing user’s issues, updating related libraries and services, and making sure that product will be able to handle its growth.

Full-cycle web development process
Professional website development is not just about writing code. Every custom web application has a very long way from idea to release: business analysis, first prototype, designs, development, testing, and more. With mova.io you don't need to think about all of them. Our engineers will help you on any stage, whether you are just starting, and only have an idea in your head, or you are in the middle of development, or you are looking for somebody to maintain or scale an existing project.
-
Very beginning: consulting and business analysis.
When you have an idea, we need to make sure that it can be done first, and which website development solutions will work best for your particular case. We need to figure out how to develop the first prototype in a minimum time, to present something to users as soon as possible, receive feedback, and improve the app after. Besides, we need to make market research and make sure that users are waiting for this solution. Our goal is to create a sustainable business of the product, and not just to release another web project.
-
Have a specification? Let's continue with prototyping!
At this stage, we need to convert a text specification into basic visual diagrams. We will need to think of a different user flows, figure out the best a most straightforward way to achieve his goal with your product.
-
Already have mockups or wireframes? Time to make a stunning design!
Defining user flow is not enough. These days users expect all solutions to be pretty, have excellent user experience, and high performance. At this stage will will make our prototype to look great and shiny.
-
Ready to start development? Let's think of architecture first!
We already have everything to start development. However, before doing it, let's first think of tools that will use. With custom web app development we have many choices. Which back-end should we use? Fast and popular Node.js? Alternatively, maybe Ruby on Rails, that will allow us to release super fast? What to use as a database? Is it enough to use static HTML pages, or should we choose Angular or React for a front-end? Do we want the app to work offline, or online only? All these questions need to be answered, to make sure application will be easily scalable, will have high performance, and will not be a pain to maintain in the future.
-
Let's make a web app finally!
This is the most exciting stage for most of us. We can finally start building a new web application. Together with the product owner, we will think about features that have to be implemented first, in order to make a prototype as soon as possible. Each week we will show the progress, we will analyze all the tasks finished and will see what can be improved until the product is done.
-
The app is ready. Now, in-depth testing and release!
Even though we test the application right from the start, beta-testing before releasing the app is still very important. All web sites, web applications and ecommerce web development solutions are very complex, and have lots of possible user flows. There are many devices, and thousands of edge-cases that have to be tested to be sure that the app is stable and release ready.
-
Just released? No time to rest, maintenance and users' feedback is waiting!
Finally, the web application has been uploaded to the production server. Users sign up, they use the product and provide feedback. Engineers need to focus on making sure that everything works well 24/7. It is important to keep code and all dependencies up-to-date to ensure highest performance and security levels. It is also vital to listen to users' feedback, find the one that will improve the app, and implement it as well.
Result oriented
Our goal is to help to build a business that will make money. We don't want just to create another website. We are interested in making a product that will help you generate revenue, find ways to increase it, and support the project continuously. Both sides will benefit from it: the better your project does, the better we do as well.
We mix different technologies to achieve excellent results.
Even though we selected our main technologies, we use lots of additional tools to make apps faster, more reliable, and to improve performance. There are many use-cases where one technology will not be as suitable as another. And we are happy to help you choose the right tech stack for your project.
All Intelectual Property Rights belong to you.
All the code, assets and the final product belongs to a product owner. We have multiple contracts for different types of projects or various stages of collaboration. For most of the projects, we sign an NDA, which makes sure that information about your project will never be disclosed. Also, we sign a legal agreement, which states that all the intellectual rights belong to you.
