We are experts at designing and building state-of-the art single-page, API-first web applications.
We can help you design and build fully responsive web apps, progressive-web apps and native mobile apps.
We help you design and build MVPs in a few weeks. Unlike most MVPS, ours are durable and become your ultimate product.
Oftentimes, great frontends are built on top of flimsy backends. We can help you reinforce your foundation using the 8base Platform.
Companies have hundreds or thousands of applications they've used for years that are outdated, unsupported and expensive to maintain. We can help migrate them to the 8base Platform.
We offer a full range of custom software development services to ensure the execution of your project
happens flawlessly while you continue to focus on your core business.
For us, design is not just about how a product looks, but how it works. Our user-centered design methodology is coupled with our team of incredibly talented UI/UX designers and product managers and product architects. We've designed and implemented custom software solutions for companies in almost every industry and bring that experience to your project.
Building "systems" is way more complicated than building simple apps. Our highly experienced team understands the difference and brings that expertise to every engagement. We listen to your vision and create custom software solutions from the ground up. We can take the lead on your entire frontend, API and backend development bringing our vast architectural and design expertise to your project.
We built a platform that takes care of most of the backend but our team is highly skilled at building custom frontend web and mobile applications using any of the modern frontend frameworks. We can build everything from basic update screens to highly complex user interactions, all while ensuring both an amazing user experience and efficient use of computing resources on the frontend device.
We can support your frontend application development efforts with custom backend development. This service includes configuration of the 8base Platform, development of backend logic, API development and integrations with other systems and APIs.

With 8base, applications are designed, developed and deployed quickly, with compact teams, and built to scale the first time around.
A minimum viable product (MVP) is a concept from Lean Startup, by Eric Ries, that stresses the impact of learning in new product development. In the book, he defined an MVP as that version of a new product which allows a team to collect the maximum amount of validated learning about customers with the least amount of effort. Depending upon the type of product you are bringing to market, the scope of your MVP will vary. For instance, the minimum capabilities of a consumer-facing digital food recipe marketplace might differ greatly from those of an electronic prescribing system for physicians. In the latter case, be fully the system needs to fully functional, integrated with the pharmacy network, and even certified before it is useful to the first customer.
It is our belief that creators of products should formulate a hypothesis of the capabilities required in their products to experiment with early users while searching to find product-market fit; and, that market feedback be the mechanism for prioritizing new features.
It is our strong recommendation that creators make every attempt to minimize features while not minimizing the foundational and architectural capabilities of their products. In this manner, feature development is incremental and avoids risky rewrite phases, that often kill ventures. Unfortunately, it is more common than not for ventures to slow down, disappoint customers and investors, stop onboarding customers and even fail as flimsy products begin to fail under load or complex requirements, and then require total rewrites.
The 8base Platform was born so that creators could build incrementally from inception to MVP and then to hypergrowth without ever requiring a rewrite of their application.
