What makes custom PHP platforms ideal for businesses of all sizes? For one, they are scalable enough to allow companies to ride the wave of internet evolution without losing touch with their values and targets along the way.

PHP-based platforms attract businesses with their plasticine characteristics. They can be modeled into stunning, feature-rich websites that accurately reflect the nature of the specific business. Most of all, their development is cost-effective and time-saving.

We invite you to read our overview of the advantages of custom PHP development for businesses:

1. More cost-effective than platforms based on other programming languages

In the right hands, PHP development projects have amazingly quick turnaround. Along with this, such sites are cheaper to make yet at maintained high quality.

2. Rich in features and functionality

Custom PHP platforms are built around the vision of the customer. This means that customers receive a website with features and functions that streamline their business services.

3. User-friendly

Well-written PHP code makes websites easy to use for end-users. This quality is extremely valuable in e-commerce, where the end-user’s ability to navigate the website efficiently in order to purchase products and services is crucial.

4. Stable and Secure

PHP was developed in 1994. For over two decades now, thousands of amateur and professional programmers have dedicated their free time to patching up potholes, bugs and security weaknesses in the language. As a result, PHP-based websites are among the most stable and secure ones available.

5. Compatibility

PHP websites are compatible with the majority of browsers and operational systems. This means that they can be hosted on any server and viewed equally well on all browsers without the need for additional coding.

6. Integrable code

Custom PHP scripts can be integrated with other scripting languages or platforms, allowing for the creation of very dynamic websites that can be easily updated at any time.

7. Connecting worlds

PHP developers are adept at building from an end-users’ point of view. This is why PHP websites serve as the perfect bridge between businesses and their customers, increasing customer retention and revenue.

8. Economic maintenance

PHP websites require little effort to maintain and update. With the right technical support, such websites are always in line with the latest digital trends.

PHP is a language that delivers strong results in the hands of skillful programmers, or vice versa. It is important for businesses in need of PHP development to find a company with proven experience on the market. Speedflow has been operating in the web development field for over 15 years. Our custom-platform development services have helped dozens of businesses expand their scope and generate more revenue.

Choose Speedflow for your next custom PHP development project, and give your business an adaptable, cost-effective and resourceful online marketing tool!

How to find funding for the development of a mobile game https://speedflow.bg/en/how-to-find-funding-for-the-development-of-a-mobile-game/ https://speedflow.bg/en/how-to-find-funding-for-the-development-of-a-mobile-game/#respond Mon, 02 Sep 2019 09:43:43 +0000 https://speedflow.bg/?p=17122

In one of our previous blog articles, we gave mobile app owners marketing tips to generate income from their free mobile apps. This time, let’s shift the focus towards a topic that is favourite to many of us: games—specifically a mobile game.

The cost of developing a mobile game can span between $1,000 and $10 million, depending on the quality. To offer a way out of this seemingly impenetrable initial financial block, we have come up with a plan on how to secure funding for the development of a mobile game.

Let’s start with the preparation:

  1. Solid business plan first

After you have clarified the idea for the game, create a business plan. Here’s what you need to include in your business plan: a summary of your game, information about yourself or your company, market research results, expected costs for the development, and a request for funding.

2. Create a demo

You will also need to create a demo for your game, which will give potential investors a ‘feel’ for your game. A demo usually has an already developed engine, relatively polished design, and some very limited content.

The problem is that making a demo costs money. So, what’s the point of creating a demo that costs money to look for money for the development of the game? Well, there’s no denying that a demo can significantly boost your chances of landing that potential investor. Let us review how to fund it.

3. Bootstrapping

Bootstrapping is a softening metaphor for “fund it yourself”.

You can find funding by asking relatives, friends or business connections to invest in your project, or by digging into your savings. The unfortunate reality of business start-ups—and this includes mobile game start-ups—is that almost all of them require their owners to pay some expenses from their own pocket.

4. Crowdfunding

Crowdfunding sites are the next best place to explore. There, you will find many people, who might be willing to “storm Area 51” with you to see a good gaming project come to fruition.

For best results, present your app in the best light possible and vigorously market your crowdfunding campaign.

5. Angel Investors

Business start-ups are usually risky for investors. Perhaps this is why we don’t see many of them jump headfirst into new projects.

However, entrepreneurs called Angel Investors have thankfully descended from the skies. Some of them are hardcore gaming fans themselves and, thus, specialize in supporting mobile app game development. Those are the ones mobile game entrepreneurs should aim for.

There are several ways you can approach this. One is to visit conferences related to gaming or mobile app development and network there. Alternatively, you can try to find an Angel investor online. Just make sure your chosen investors have a history of supporting similar projects to your own.

6. App Contests

Let’s stretch the concept of Angel Investors a bit. Often, Angel investors take a pro-active role in finding new investment projects. Sometimes they do it via staging app contests.

To find appropriate contests, you are free to search the web. The advantages of winning one are enormous, with awards for pole positions sometimes reaching tens of thousands of dollars—enough to fund your whole mobile game!

7. Publishers

Finding a game publisher to fund a game project has become a widespread practice. With the increase in revenue of mobile games, some of the biggest gaming publishers out there have turned an eye towards this sector and are now putting aside significant investments to get a piece of the pie.

Approach a publisher that already has a history of sponsoring similar games to yours. Present your business plan, familiarise them with your marketing efforts thus far, allow them to view the demo and hope for the best.

Making a mobile game can be an exciting and creative adventure. And despite the almost certain difficulties in finding funding for it, it can be a start of something beautiful. So, don’t give up!

Speedflow Bulgaria completes two new back-to-back projects https://speedflow.bg/en/speedflow-bulgaria-completes-two-new-back-to-back-projects/ https://speedflow.bg/en/speedflow-bulgaria-completes-two-new-back-to-back-projects/#respond Wed, 28 Aug 2019 08:41:14 +0000 https://speedflow.bg/?p=17097

Two new companies have gone under the knife of Speedflow Bulgaria’s web development team—Bulgarian building company S.E. Stroy and the Association for Breeding Lacaune Sheep in Bulgaria.

S.E. Stroy provides specialized services in project planning, construction and maintenance of electrical, water and sanitation installations for residential, public and industrial facilities. Fire alarm systems, smart homes, thermal imaging for tracing water damage and leak detection are just a few of the services that the company has provided to dozens of satisfied customers.

They approached us with a request for us to rejuvenate and optimize their old website to improve their search engine ranking and refresh their online presence. With this in mind, our programmers integrated new graphic elements into the existing database and optimized the content and code. The job took about a week.

We are glad to have been able to provide online solutions to the Association for Breeding Lacaune Sheep in Bulgaria. Established in 2014, the organization is responsible for monitoring, protecting and developing the processes related to breeding Lacaune sheep on the territory of Bulgaria.

The Association needed a website that accurately provides detailed information about their activities to their shareholders and the general public. Following several weeks of hard work, we erected an informative, up-to-date WordPress site that ticks all the boxes of the client.

Here are a few aspects of web development we touched upon with these two projects:

· Custom programming
· Web design
· Content optimization
· Code optimization

If you have a web developments project, Speedflow Bulgaria has a highly qualified team of talented developers that are ready to undertake it for you. We tackle projects of any size – from the ground up to minor tweaks and optimisation.

How to make money from a free mobile app? https://speedflow.bg/en/how-to-make-money-from-a-free-mobile-app/ https://speedflow.bg/en/how-to-make-money-from-a-free-mobile-app/#respond Tue, 06 Aug 2019 07:56:19 +0000 https://speedflow.bg/?p=17029

Free mobile apps are dominating the app stores for a reason. They present an appealing business prospect and have proven to be a working model with just a little marketing know-how. Furthermore, free apps are a great way to spread ideas.

Perhaps, it will also be a relief to find out that successful apps needn’t be based on world-changing ideas either.

The Pou app, for example, is one such story. Developed by a 24-year-old Lebanese programmer, Pou allows users to take care of a virtual pet – much like Tamagochi. The app sells for $1.60 for iOS devices and is completely free for Android, with an option for in-app purchases. It gets between 260k-320k downloads per day.

What we are saying is: free apps are trending at the moment, and as such, are a great tool for making money.

In this article, we take a look at 8 ways to ease the free app development process and generate revenue from it:

1. AdCharge

AdCharge is an innovative advertising method that allows app owners to equip their mobile app with the ability to show ads after incoming calls. AdCharge shows ads that are tailored for users to receive guaranteed views all the while not interrupting their smartphone usage experience.

App owners who have integrated the AdCharge algorithm receive a hefty piece of the advertising revenue as well as boost their app’s value in advertisers’ eyes. 

2. Sponsorship/Partnership

Alternatively, you can arrange a sponsor for your app. This step could be taken in its pre-development stages. Our advice is to do your research and pitch your idea to the right company or person.

Sponsorship ensures that the full cost of the development—or a part of it—is covered. In return, you rent a piece of your app, like its name or a periodical content quota for example.

Sponsorship is not only an excellent way out of the financial elements involved in making an app but also a way to scoop into your sponsor’s followers. The bigger the company sponsoring you, the better your app’s visibility will be.

3. Freemium App

The Freemium business model utilizes both paying and non-paying customers. Its path to monetization is nested on the degree of users’ engagement to your app content. The idea is to allow your app users to enjoy and engage with the content before you ask for money.

free mobile app

By removing the heavy burden of financial worry off people’s shoulders, you make your app much more downloadable.

4. Subscriptions

Subscriptions are often used for restricted-content apps. Apps that offer cloud services, newspaper and magazine apps and video-streaming apps fit this category.

Most app owners use subscription following a free trial period. If your content is engaging, app users will be much more willing to pay for it.

5. In-app purchases

In-app purchase refers to direct revenue from within the app, from sales of additional functions or content. According to Statista, in-app purchasing (IAP) holds the lion’s share of the revenue for free apps compared to other methods of income.

In contrast to the subscription method, IAP apps offer free content plus boosted-value, payable but not mandatory content. In other words, the app can be used but with limited content.

6. Affiliate advertising

Affiliate advertising is a way for you to earn commissions from the promotion of third-party products on your app. More than 80% of brands and publishers utilize this method of advertising.

Ideally, it is advisable that you select a product that reflects your audience’s interests, and that you don’t mind advertising.

Affiliate advertising can be utilized in the following ways: banners, interstitial, native ads, video ads, playables and push notifications.

7. White Label Code

White label strategy is a smart way to make money from a free mobile app, which has already achieved some positive results in the app stores. If you are certain that the code for it is exquisitely written, you can re-sell it to other companies. They can then base their apps on your code.

8. E-mail Marketing

While e-mail marketing will not get you direct revenue immediately, it’s a very powerful method to build-up your app and generate more users.

There are various ways to kindly collect your app user’s e-mail addresses, for example by providing the Facebook log-in option to them. E-mail marketing will provide your app with a steady increase in subscribers and ultimately revenue down the road.

If we have you convinced that making a free mobile app is not ‘fighting on the losing side’, we have a team of experienced developers who can help with all aspects of your project.

Join the Mobile App Revolution with Speedflow (New Video) https://speedflow.bg/en/mobile-app-development-services-video/ https://speedflow.bg/en/mobile-app-development-services-video/#respond Thu, 01 Aug 2019 13:57:14 +0000 https://speedflow.bg/?p=16983

We invite you to have a look at our latest video: an overview of Speedflow Bulgaria’s mobile app development services.

We understand that investing in a mobile app may be a financially hard-hitting decision but the benefits of having one are hard to ignore.

Over 200 billion app downloads happen every year. Smartphone users predominantly use mobile apps to access the Internet. Over $492 billion is generated annually by apps.

Strikingly, this seems to be just the beginning. Researches are in agreement that mobile apps are set to penetrate more and more aspects of modern-day life in the coming decade.

Businesses are not the first, and will not be the last, to come to terms with this realisation. More and more of them are taking advantage of the value-boosting, revenue-producing qualities of mobile apps. Companies recognize that apps can increase their profit, provide a global reach and cater to their customer relations.

Apps’ appeal has not remained unnoticed for people with ideas worth spreading too. People are increasingly engaging with development of apps to spread social awareness for things they care about or to promote welbeing and other lifestyle improvements.

Gaming is, by no means, trailing behind. The app gaming industry has laid serious claims on the market share. According to Statista, gaming apps generate a whopping $53 billion a year, a figure which is set to rise to $60 billion by 2023.

The benefits of having a mobile app are way too many to ignore. We merely ask you not to brush them aside without proper consideration.

To gain an overview insight of our mobile app development services, please take a look at our latest video:

If you want to join this revolution and are looking for a quality app development team, Speedflow Bulgaria has the know-how and excellent prices to help you do it.

7 Mobile App Development Trends of 2019 https://speedflow.bg/en/7-mobile-app-development-trends-of-2019/ https://speedflow.bg/en/7-mobile-app-development-trends-of-2019/#respond Fri, 12 Jul 2019 15:22:25 +0000 https://speedflow.bg/?p=16931

The span between technological leaps is getting shorter. It is now mere months that separate new advancements, especially in IT. For app developers who want to stay successful, keeping a close eye on the ravenous progress of technology and identifying the possibilities each leap presents is crucial. This is why we are going to take a look at the best 7 mobile app development trends that are taking 2019 by storm, starting with the most-anticipated breakthrough of recent months:

 

1. 5G Wireless

5G will trampoline a host of new technological advancements that will penetrate multiple industries. The mobile app development world will hold an honorary front seat when 5G kick-starts these changes.

 

 

Faster, cheaper and more stable than 4G, 5G will support better content, namely 4K video, VR and augmented reality, and a lot of other heavy-content elements.
With the appearance of 5G, developers will arm-wrestle with problems such as efficiency in phone memory usage, security, app loading speed, and others.

 

2. Instant Apps

Instant Apps are essentially Android apps that can be hosted on a cloud server, resulting in increased efficiency, loading speed and user-friendliness.

They hold particular appeal for developers because the both processes of creating them from scratch or adapting them from a normal app are quick and cost-efficient as well as produce bigger value for the end-user.

 

3. Augmented and Virtual Reality

According to Statista, the VR market will bypass the $160-billion mark in 2023. This figure is substantially based on the expectation that the emergence of 5G will skyrocket the augmented and virtual reality industry. And this view is hard to refute.

It is not surprising that mobile developers’ focus has shifted towards app development incorporating this type of content. VR and augmented reality improve user experience and contribute to visually stunning apps.

 

4. IoT – Internet of Things

Although IoT is not a new concept, it exerts a strong influence on app development. It means: devices being interlinked and remotely controlled via a third-party device, like a smartphone for example.

In today’s competitive market, the more connected a device is to others, the better differentiated it is from the competition. The same goes for the app’s interconnectivity capabilities.

The possibilities of IoT apps are endless. Automation, simplification and efficiency are a small part of what an IoT-capable app can offer businesses and individuals.

 

5. Cloud Storage

Cloud storage is increasingly employed by mobile developers to save memory on users’ smartphones and encourage data exchange in a safe environment. Cloud storage supplementation offers a number of advantages, including making the app faster and eliminating the need for downloading it.

 

6. App Security

 

App Security

 

With mobile device usage continually on the rise, it would make sense the emphasis in app development would fall onto security. As more and more users shop via their mobile phones, mostly through apps, developers are using every trick in the book to protect users’ sensitive data.

At present, mobile app security is the defining feature that differentiates the professional developer from the amateur one.

 

7. Cross-platform gaming apps

Today, single-platform games, for a variety of marketing reasons, are still the status quo. But it’s highly likely that this traditional approach will soon give way to cross-platform development gaming apps.

Cross-platform gaming apps cut development costs and reduce the time in the development of app frame. We expect to see this approach to extend to not only gaming apps in the future.

 

These are just 7 of the mobile app development trends at present. And although each carries ramifications that could lead to more complex technology, the emphasis remains on simplification of user experience. We don’t expect this to change any time soon.

If you want to be part of the fast-developing technological world, you can do it with an app. Our team is well-versed in the development of native and hybrid apps with stunning design and functionality. Interested? Contact us at info@speedflow.bg

Speedflow Bulgaria congratulates FoodLab on their new website https://speedflow.bg/en/laboratory-foodlab-new-website/ https://speedflow.bg/en/laboratory-foodlab-new-website/#respond Mon, 27 May 2019 12:46:17 +0000 https://speedflow.bg/?p=16165

North Macedonian laboratory FoodLab, which specializes in food and beverages check-ups, is the proud owner of a new and modern website made by Speedflow Bulgaria. The laboratory will now have an extra channel to showcase its selection of tests and types of food and beverages tested.

 

About the project:

For a little bit less conversation—a period of around 20 days—we unfolded a fluid, up-to-date website with the name FoodLab on top. We would like to direct your attention to three aspects of this web development project:

  • Web design
  • Content management system
  • Optimization

After a friendly chat with our clients, we came to the conclusion that the design should be in line with the following:

  • Our client’s mission
  • The language requirements of their target audience
  • Our client’s wishes to have more direct contact with their clients

We selected a blend of dark blue/purple (header), green and white. We also highlighted the North Macedonian text in green—to differentiate from the English one—and left enough white space to make the website look clean and clear.

The overall idea was to underline the laboratory’s mission towards healthier food and beverages.

 

laboratory Foodlab services screenshot

 

For this project, we used WordPress. This content management system gives FoodLab admins the freedom to update the inventory of the tests offered and the types of food tested at will. Additionally, FoodLab can choose to create new pages—and fill them with content—without having to rely on professional web developers.

Finally, on the optimization front, our experts dug deep to squeeze every weed out of the code and content. Everything you see on the website is cut down to a minimum size, and as a result, the site is light and fast. This places it in an ideal position to be ranked well in the search engines.

 

 

The project’s final brushes

They were accompanied by our prescribed belly tickles and bubbly giggles and followed by a quickly-descending dome of mildly weird conversations. In other words, our team opened a bottle of wine.

That aside, we are delighted to add another successfully completed project to our portfolio.
Congratulations to our friends from FoodLab! We wish them a long and fruitful use of their new website and success in all their future endeavors!

Here is an overview of what we did:

 

More about FoodLab

FoodLab aims to provide the best-quality tests to ensure the safety and high standard of food and beverages in and around North Macedonia. The laboratory employs professionals with extensive experience in laboratory work and cooperates with accredited laboratories in the region.

It is located in a modern, new building at Boris Trajkovski Street, Skopje.

7 Web Design Trends for 2019 https://speedflow.bg/en/7-web-design-trends-for-2019/ https://speedflow.bg/en/7-web-design-trends-for-2019/#respond Mon, 20 May 2019 10:26:43 +0000 https://speedflow.bg/?p=16116

The expectation that virtual and augmented reality web design was to take over this year hasn’t realized yet. Instead we see more experimentation with color, shapes, fonts and storytelling style. Along with that, minimalism is refusing to fade away.

Web design is not an exact science. What worked 10 years ago may not work today. It’s hard to predict where it will go, but for us at Speedflow Bulgaria, it is fun to trail the latest developments and trends and keep on top of things.

The other thing is that web design can have two contradictory concepts trending at the same time. And while this can be confusing, we shouldn’t forget that both can be used to the same degree of success to achieve different things.

In line with our article 7 web design trends that rock 2017, we thought it was time for an update. Here are the 7 most widespread web design trends for the first quarter of 2019 (a note must be made here that this is not an exhaustive list of the web design trends of 2019. We have selected the best 7, according to us). Enjoy:

 

1. Organic shapes

Example: Mawla

The folks at Mawla, for example, use a blend of organic shapes and bright colours to create a pretty appealing website.

 

web design trends 2019 organic shapes mawla example

Paper cups, biodegradable bags, reusable sandwich bags, shower timers and wooden coffee-stirring sticks: you get the point. Society is headed towards a more nature-integrated existence. And web designers are following suit. In fact, web design seems to be becoming more socially conscious by the day.

For 2019, we see a huge rise in the use of organic shape elements. Rounded, leaf-, tree- and wave-like shapes are everywhere, inspiring a more natural look and feel.

 

2. 2 x Video

Example: Oand3

Oand3 have boldly placed a loop of nature scenery Above the Fold on their homepage—to pleasing results, we must say.

Video is multiplying. It’s not hard to see why. Through video, users can ingest information without expending too much energy, and perhaps this partly explains why video is so popular. As of 2019, web designers are experimenting with video placement to varying degrees of success. More and more websites are using full-screen video in the Above the Fold section – where they can leave an impression and show first-hand what their product is all about.

Along with the video marketing becoming more and more popular, big brands are now using auto-play videos as a background to their home page.

 

3. Micro-Interactions

Example: Micro-interaction on Dribble

Micro-interactions are wide spread to the degree that you can stumble on one in most modern websites you visit. Here is an example of what they look like.

Have you watched Lie to Me? For those of you who haven’t: it’s about a character who is brilliant at reading facial micro-expressions and body language. Whether we are aware enough to detect such minute interactions or not, it doesn’t matter. They affect us nonetheless.

In 2019, web designers have embraced methods of micro-interaction, including subtle animations, creative picture content and others.

Here are a few digital elements used to create micro-interactions:

  • Scrollbar
  • Button
  • User-triggered animation
  • Swipe animation

 

4. The Color Rebel: Black and white is making a return

Example: Councl

Here, Councl demonstrate an effective use of black and white elements. The result is an uncluttered, elegant website.

 

web design trends 2019 black and white councl example

Web designers have been riding the wave of minimalism for a couple of years now. Along this line, black and white pictures are making a return. And they fit quite well. This could be because black and white compositions impress on us a sense of timelessness and depth that is not immediately visible to the eyes.

This stands in contrast to another design trend: the increasing use of bright colors. Moving onto…

 

5. Bright colors and gradients

Example: Atlassian

In contrast to the previous point, Atlassian demonstrate the effective use of bright colours to achieve an interesting website without compromise to simplicity.

Color is web designers’ AK47. And in the past year and in the beginning of 2019, some of them are shooting it like crazy. Bright colors and strong gradient have become widespread. For example, placing a brightly colored element in a less impressive background can make it stand out and improve CTR – basic psychology of colors.

 

6. Broken Grid – Asymmetry

Example: ClinicaBenessere

Scroll down to see what the broken-grid method means. It is an interesting approach which keeps the ‘surprise’ element alive.

The first three months of 2019 are a natural continuation to a design trend that has taken hold of web design since 2017 – the broken grid method.

Asymmetrical placements of elements designed to anticipate the gaze of the internet reader rather than draw it in are becoming popular. Time will have the last word on this approach.

 

7. Serif Takeover

Example: The Guardian

Perhaps, The Guardian can afford to experiment with fonts. They are big and have a loyal following. But they are not the only ones we see using serif.

 

serif vs sans serif - web design trends 2019

The general consensus is that serif is only suitable for print. You see, sans serif is easier to read, which can be important in today’s age of mobile devices. But the first quarter of 2019 has seen a return of the serif font. Because of its link to the past, serif exudes a certain dignified air and, for this reason, it is a good fit for some brands, while for others – not so much.

 

These are just 7 of many, many web design trends that are happening right now. We expect to see VR web design hitting soon but its price might be putting off website owners at this point in time. Another interesting concept we’d like to see more of is creative, engaging scroll storytelling.

Or, if you have a different vision about the future of web design, please let us know in the comment section. We’d be intrigued to hear it.

Why choose Speedflow to build your new website? https://speedflow.bg/en/why-choose-speedflow-for-new-website/ https://speedflow.bg/en/why-choose-speedflow-for-new-website/#respond Mon, 15 Apr 2019 14:14:46 +0000 https://speedflow.bg/?p=15670

So, you have an idea for a website? Choosing the right web developing company to undertake your project can mean the difference between hitting and missing the mark.

This is where we come in. We want to save you the time and money that is usually wasted with the standard “try, fail, try again” approach.
Here is why choosing Speedflow Bulgaria for your next website development project is the best thing you can do for your business:

 

1. We offer one of the best price-quality ratios out there

Our policy is to evaluate each project separately and adjust our prices according to its size and requirements. While some web developing companies offer to build sites for as little as 200 BGN (100 €), you are hardly guaranteed satisfaction. Our prices reflect the quality that we offer but remain a bargain compared to the competition.

 

2. Our approach is customer-focused

Here at Speedflow Bulgaria, we believe clear communication is the key to the successful outcome of any project. We only start projects when we understand what our customers want to achieve. This avoids misunderstandings and frustration along the way.

 

3. Customer-regulated production process

We make sure to check-in with each customer at several key points in the web-development process to assure that the project does not stray from its original trajectory. This means that the customer will have the final say in the design and functionality of their website.

 

4. We deliver faster than our competition

In today’s competitive environment, most businesses find making a mark impossible without innovative solutions. While we rely on ‘untested methods’ to provide unprecedented quality, we also make sure we have the required solid foundation to get us there. Delivering the finished website faster than our competitors is, thus, one of our main goals.

 

5. Our team is comprised of experienced specialists

We have put in some mileage together now – about 15 years. The road has taught us a thing or two, but most importantly, we have discovered we enjoy working together. This helps plenty. We have experienced specialists in all aspects of web development – programmers, UX and UI designers, marketing and SEO, copywriters, customer relationship managers, digital marketing specialists, and many others.

 

6. Rich portfolio showcasing different niche projects

You can find evidence of our conquered peaks in our featured portfolio section. We have successfully completed projects for clients from both Bulgaria and other European countries. Our portfolio of completed projects includes ground-up websites for medical centres, dental clinics, restaurants, private enforcement bodies, online shops, etc.

 

7. Our designers have a sixth sense about attractive and elegant design

We think attractive, responsive design is the right way to go. In parallel to great design, we make sure website visitor experience is rooted in up-to-date standards in the web development industry and Google.

 

♿ 8. We take projects in any stage of development

We don’t limit ourselves to ground-up web development. We also undertake old site updates, plug-in creation requests, SEO optimization, development of Android and iOS mobile applications, eCommerce websites development, web design, and custom and server applications. We are proud to have specialists in all the areas we cover.

 

9. Effective SEO for improved search engine visibility

Our SEO experts have the connections and know-how to eject websites into more favorable positions on the Google ladder. We have the resources to undertake long back-link building campaigns to reach our clients’ goals and have the history to prove it.

 

⚙ 10. Responsive, conscientious technical support team 

Our technical support team is comprised of experienced specialists, which enables them to identify and resolve issues quickly, so any disruption to the workflow of our clients is eliminated in its bud.
