What is a web app?

Web-based Applications or "Web Apps" are simply websites that offer software that customers access over the internet rather than downloading software to their computer. The benefit of the SaaS model is that customers can access your product from any device, anywhere. Web Apps usually allow groups of people to collaborate online in real-time. They are usually sold as a monthly subscription and paid for by customers using a credit card.

“Working with New Leaders was a pleasure. They’re thorough and professional. I especially appreciated their willingness to conceptualize and share ideas; they're well-suited for transforming concept to reality with little supervision.” — Tim Peterson, Founder of Bookshelf.org

Hundreds of businesses depend on New Leaders services.

Web-Based Estimate Process

image description

Once we understand your needs, we will create a web-based estimate that outlines the approach we recommend and the amount of time your project will require from our team. This allows us to provide an estimate quickly and allows you to review it online to make sure that it meets your requirements. We will make adjustments based on your feedback to tailor the scope of the project to fit your budget and goals.

Building Software as a Service products for your business.

Software as a Service allows you to deliver web-based subscription services to customers that can be accessed through any modern web browser. The most common web-based services are focused on small business and collaboration. Good examples are project management or accounting services where you would like a number of key employees to login to a service and enter data and have your managers review the results and generate reports. Software as a Service projects pair nicely with smartphone clients and marketing websites.

Project Planning

New Leaders begins your project by working with the you and your staff to develop the product specification. Project plans include web application architecture documentation, feature requirements, conceptual mock-ups and user stories which help our developers and designer fully understand your business model and project goals.

Product Design

Using the specifications as a guideline New Leaders will begin the product design process. The process consists of our talented designers creating a number of conceptual examples of how the product will be experienced by your customers. We produce between a few concepts that will meet the requirements but perhaps approach the problem from different angles. Based on the feedback provided by you and your stakeholders, New Leaders will design every aspect of the experience your customers will utilize when accessing your application. The final designs are then handed to our producers and developers to build the web application to specification.

Production + Development

Our production and software developers will work together closely with you to build and test the web application in an iterative fashion. We meet once to twice a week to share on-going progress of the project as it moves closer and closer to completion. Once the application enters the beta stage our team will help provision a hosting environment and prepare to deploy the application to our integrated cloud computing stack. Development of any web based service requires anywhere from 60 days to one year depending the complexity of the project. Typical web application projects take about 90 days.
