    Building apps is hard... when you're distracted.

    Top awarded
    When hiring an app or web development team to build custom software, one variable matters most: are the developers fully dedicated to your success , or are you one client of many? Designli brings together designers, engineers, and business minds into on-demand, dedicated product teams that pour themselves, full-time, into the success of your app or web-app initiative. Existing as your dedicated software engineering department, we'll work together to solve your most pressing business problems with custom software. How it Works, and What We Can Build: Designli designs, develops, and launches beautiful apps and web-apps that you'll be proud to own, with a process that makes sense. Most importantly, we'll do this with a team that is assigned full-time to your project. With a step-by-step process, we'll begin by creating a clickable simulation of the User Interface of your app or website, and a development-ready backlog with each feature defined, estimated, and ready to code. Entrepreneurs use this output for fundraising. Business leaders use it for internal buy-in and market validation. When you choose to move into Development, our staff will be assigned full-time to you, and this team will be composed of the disciplines you need. Left alone, designers will create art projects. Engineers will create science fair gizmos. Business minds will create spreadsheets. Your development team will include all three, singularly focused on your success.

Frequently Asked Questions.


Mobile app development in Austin, TX, a thriving tech hub, comes with its unique set of challenges. Here are some common hurdles faced by developers in the area and effective strategies to overcome them:

Challenge Solution
Fierce Competition Austin's booming tech scene means intense competition. Stand out by focusing on niche markets, leveraging local partnerships, and showcasing Austin-specific features in your apps.
Talent Acquisition With tech giants like Apple and Google having offices in Austin, attracting top talent can be challenging. Offer competitive salaries, flexible work arrangements, and emphasize the vibrant Austin startup culture to attract skilled developers.
Platform Fragmentation Use cross-platform development frameworks like React Native or Flutter to create apps that work seamlessly across iOS and Android, saving time and resources.
User Retention Implement robust analytics tools to understand user behavior. Utilize push notifications and in-app messaging to keep users engaged, and regularly update your app based on user feedback.
Scalability Design your app architecture with scalability in mind from the start. Utilize cloud services like Amazon Web Services or Google Cloud Platform, which have a strong presence in Austin, to ensure your app can handle growth.

Other challenges and solutions include:

  • Navigating Regulatory Compliance: Stay informed about local and state regulations, especially for fintech or healthtech apps. Consult with Austin-based legal experts specializing in tech law.
  • Securing Funding: Leverage Austin's strong venture capital and angel investor networks. Attend local tech meetups and pitch events to connect with potential investors.
  • Keeping Up with Rapid Technological Changes: Encourage continuous learning among your team. Take advantage of Austin's numerous tech conferences, workshops, and coding bootcamps to stay updated on the latest trends.
  • Balancing Innovation with User Experience: While Austin values cutting-edge technology, ensure your app remains user-friendly. Conduct regular user testing sessions with local focus groups to gather feedback.

According to a recent survey by the Austin Technology Council, 68% of local mobile app developers cited talent acquisition as their biggest challenge, followed by 52% who struggled with securing funding. By addressing these challenges head-on and leveraging Austin's unique tech ecosystem, mobile app developers can significantly increase their chances of success in this competitive market.



In the tech-savvy city of Austin, TX, where startups and established businesses alike are leveraging mobile apps to reach their audience, ensuring app security and user data protection is paramount. Here are key strategies for Austin businesses to implement:

  1. Implement Robust Encryption: Use industry-standard encryption protocols (like AES 256-bit encryption) for all data transmission and storage. This is especially crucial for apps handling sensitive information in sectors like Austin's thriving fintech and healthcare industries.
  2. Regular Security Audits: Partner with local cybersecurity firms in Austin's tech corridor to conduct thorough and regular security audits. Many reputable firms offer specialized services for mobile app security assessment.
  3. Secure API Integration: With Austin's vibrant API economy, ensure all API integrations are secure. Use API keys, OAuth, and token-based authentication to prevent unauthorized access.
  4. Data Minimization: Collect only essential user data. This aligns with Austin's privacy-conscious tech community and helps comply with data protection regulations.
  5. Implement Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): Offer MFA options to users, leveraging Austin's high smartphone penetration rate to enhance security through biometrics or two-factor authentication.
  6. Secure Development Practices: Adopt secure coding practices and leverage the expertise of Austin's skilled developer community. Consider security from the design phase through to deployment.
  7. Regular Updates and Patch Management: Maintain a rigorous update schedule to address vulnerabilities promptly. Austin's fast-paced tech scene demands staying ahead of potential threats.
  8. User Education: Educate your Austin-based users about best practices for data protection. Clear communication builds trust and encourages safe app usage.

According to a recent study by the Austin Technology Council, 78% of local businesses reported an increase in cybersecurity investments for mobile applications in 2023, highlighting the growing importance of this issue in the local market.

By implementing these measures, Austin businesses can create secure mobile apps that protect user data effectively, building trust and potentially gaining a competitive edge in the local and broader markets. Remember, in Austin's innovative tech ecosystem, security isn't just a feature—it's a fundamental expectation.
