    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.


Successful web development companies in Santa Monica understand that managing client expectations and maintaining clear communication are crucial for project success. Here are some key strategies they employ:

  1. Detailed project scoping: Santa Monica's top web development agencies begin with a comprehensive project scope document. This outlines deliverables, timelines, and potential challenges, ensuring both parties are aligned from the start.
  2. Regular check-ins: Agencies schedule frequent updates, often weekly, to keep clients informed of progress, discuss any issues, and gather feedback. This proactive approach helps prevent misunderstandings and keeps projects on track.
  3. Transparent project management tools: Many Santa Monica web development companies use collaborative tools like Asana, Trello, or Jira. These platforms allow clients to view real-time progress, fostering transparency and trust.
  4. Clear documentation: Successful agencies maintain detailed documentation of all decisions, changes, and approvals. This creates a paper trail that can be referenced if questions arise later in the project.
  5. Education and guidance: Web development companies in Santa Monica often take on an educational role, helping clients understand technical concepts and the rationale behind design and development decisions.
  6. Agile methodologies: Many agencies adopt Agile practices, breaking projects into sprints and encouraging iterative feedback. This approach allows for flexibility and helps manage expectations throughout the development process.
  7. Prototype and wireframe presentations: Before full development begins, agencies often present wireframes or prototypes to ensure the client's vision aligns with the proposed solution.
  8. Expectation setting: Successful companies are upfront about what's achievable within the given budget and timeline. They're not afraid to push back on unrealistic requests and offer alternative solutions.

By implementing these strategies, web development companies in Santa Monica can significantly reduce misunderstandings, streamline the development process, and ultimately deliver high-quality websites that meet or exceed client expectations.
