Our Levels of Service

Staff Augmentation

Have you managed software teams before? We excel at sourcing top-notch near-shore technical contractors to enhance your software development team. We take of recruiting and compensation. You take care of the rest. Need to scale your team up or down? No problem. We can help.

Strategic Consulting

Are you seeking expert guidance to refine your software development strategy without committing to a full team or temporary staff? Our strategic consulting services offer tailored insights and solutions to optimize your design process and achieve your project goals efficiently.

Full-service Teams

Are you looking for a comprehensive solution that handles every aspect of your web application project from start to finish? Full-service web application development offers end-to-end management, unlike staff augmentation or strategic software development consulting.

How We Work (Full-service)

Discovery Call

Our first step is to understand you, your team, your goals, and strategic objectives for your project. This is a free call to see if we are a fit for you. We'll advise you on best next steps and give a high-level, non-binding quotation. If we're not a fit, we'll refer you to a trusted partner.

Low-risk Proof of Concept

You can give us a test run by scheduling and intensive, 1 week (5 day, M-F) workshop where we will meet with you every day to get rapid feedback on a proof of concept (POC) of your choosing. You can choose a POC that proves good design or a functional component of software, but not both. It only costs $1,000. If you like it and decide to move on to full development services, we apply the payment to your first bill, effectively giving you a free POC.

In-depth Research

What sets us apart from other dev shops is that we deploy a full customer experience (CX) team just like the industry best practices used by big software companies like Google, Apple, Paypal, etc. This includes a:

  • Product Manager
  • User Experience (UX) Designer
  • Data Scientist

Together they will interview your target customers and determine the optimal experience they need to be delighted by your app.

User Experience Optimization

We don't just get you to Minimum Viable Product (MVP), or V1. With all of our engagements we deploy a free, customized data analytics dashboard where you and our fractional CX team continues to monitor customer usage. We also schedule a free hour every month where we recommend new experiments to improve customer success metrics that you can approve or deny.

This is how the best do it, so this is what we do for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

 

Do you do mobile application development?

Yes we do. Our team has developed dozens of mobile applications. We often design our web apps to also have a cohesive mobile app experience and vice versa.

What's your tech stack?

We have the capabilities of finding any talent you need and integrating them into our cross-functional development teams. We've built apps using Javascript, CSS, Angular, and many other languages and frameworks.

Why should I choose contracted web development services like yours?

Have you tried to build and optimize your own web app before? We have. It’s expensive for small and medium-sized enterprises and fraught with all sorts of “gotcha’s.” Smaller organizations that employ affordable contractors are more agile and get better quality talent than those who hire direct.

Regardless, if you want to try to do it yourself by hiring or managing your own software development team, we'll help you!

We provide staff augmentations services where we'll recruit the right engineering contractors for the job. You pay us so you don't have to worry about figuring out how to pay each one of them directly.

Why choose Doona Dev over other web dev agencies?

Our team has worked together for 7+ years. Our previous employers include Paypal, American Airlines, Acquia, etc. We’ve been optimizing digital experiences for a collective 30+ years.

On top of that, we are the only ones who also have in-house data engineering expertise. We deploy a free, customized data platform on almost all of our engagements because we believe that's going to be a competitive advantage for you. We want to make digital experience optimization (DXO) accessible to small and medium-sized businesses so they can eventually compete with the "big guys." 

Lastly, we are part of the 00 Ventures community, which means have exclusive access to discounted services for adjacent needs like marketing, bookkeeping, recruitment, and taxes. We can help optimize all the parts of your business.

What are your billing policies and pricing?

Our engineers are high-quality near-shore talent which enables us to be competitive in our pricing while ensuring no meetings at abnormal hours and a culture that fits American personalities.

We use a subscription-based pricing model where you can buy a bank of developer hours upfront in 1-week, full-time equivalent (FTE) increments. This helps us make sure we don't waste your money while we track our hours and gives us the flexibility to give a little more value if we think we're just shy of hitting our development goals.

Is the data platform really free?

There are certain limitations of the free data platform deployment:

  • Only 2 data source connectors are included
  • Data is refreshed weekly
  • Data storage and transfer up to 10 GB per month
  • 1 user login

Usage above these limits will incur additional monthly charges, but these limitations are often enough to get started optimizing your app.

This package is designed to scale with your needs but remain as low-cost as possible while still delivering mission-critical business intelligence.

Do you offer any guarantees?

We do! After we have deployed the first Minimum Viable Product (MVP) and we have moved on the Optimization phase of the project, we identify projects for improvement but won't count the hours used to develop the experiment against the bank of hours you've purchased unless the experiment moved the needle closer to goals as reported by the dashboard or numbers we collect. So you only pay if the experiment was a success.
