Process & approach
Streamlined, delivered on time, within budget, and aligned with your business goals.
Discover, Understand & Strategize
Our process begins with a comprehensive discovery phase. During this phase, we collaborate closely with your team to understand and define your project, including its purpose, target audience, technical requirements, key features and functionalities, as well as its short-term and long-term goals.
We're not just building a beautiful web app; we're creating an end product that aligns and resonates with your audience, business, and objectives, capturing its essence and intended use.
Plan & Wireframe
Once aligned, our team drafts a Project Requirement Document (PRD) detailing the project’s architecture, integrations, and technical requirements, including milestones and timelines. This process is meticulous and requires the approval of all project stakeholders before proceeding with design, as it will inform our approach to design, development, and testing, ensuring the end product meets your specific requirements and goals.
Upon approval, our design team prepares wireframes to serve as the blueprint for your web app, outlining its pages, structure, and user flow.
UX & UI Design
Design is everything. A beautiful interface with a balanced, robust experience is key to securing user engagement and retention. We understand and adhere to a design philosophy that guides all our applications, crafting intuitive, purposeful, and visually stunning web interfaces that elevate the user experience without compromising on design.
Upon kickoff, our design team creates high-fidelity prototypes using Figma, incorporating branding and other design elements to ensure a seamless user experience.
Front-End Development
Utilizing technologies like Bubble.io, our front-end development team translates the Figma designs into a functional web interface. Each app we build is designed with responsiveness in mind, allowing it to adapt effortlessly to any screen size—whether mobile, tablet, or desktop. This approach ensures a consistent, visually appealing experience across all devices.
Backend Development
As expert database architects, we optimize our database structures to achieve the highest standards of performance and scalability.
Our back-end team starts by building a secure user authentication flow, which enables reliable access management and data protection. Next, we translate your app's functions and features into programmable logic and determine which operations should run on the server-side for data-intensive processes and which should run on the client-side for faster, localized interactions.
This division of logic optimizes speed and efficiency. We then integrate third-party services and APIs to enhance functionality and support the front end, enriching the user experience via robust capabilities.
Security
Apart from quality, security is our highest priority. We embed rigorous security measures within each app, aligning with industry standards to protect data integrity, ensure privacy, and prevent unauthorized access.
We're not just building a beautiful web app; we're creating an end product that aligns and resonates with your audience, business, and objectives, capturing its essence and intended use.
This approach not only enhances your app’s performance but also ensures reliability and scalability, enabling a smooth, consistent, and secure user experience.
Testing & Quality Assurance
Effective quality assurance (QA) relies on clear communication and keen attention to detail. From the front-end interface to the back-end logic, our expert team of QA specialists conducts rigorous functionality testing, examining every detail to identify and communicate any issues that may arise. This ensures your app operates smoothly and meets all requirements before it goes live.
Launch & Post-Launch Partnership
At Rapid Dev, we're committed to our clients for the long run. Upon testing, our team handles the deployment process to facilitate a successful launch.
Post-launch, rest assured that we will continue to monitor and address any issues that may arise to ensure optimal functionality, performance, and user satisfaction. This includes implementing updates and enhancements, as well as incorporating user feedback, to ensure the continued success of your web app.

FAQs
Internal business app development involves creating custom software to streamline and optimize an organization's internal processes. These apps are built to streamline and automate processes and workflows, centralize management across departments such as HR, finance, inventory, and customer service, or provide better visibility into critical operations via tailored data visualizations. When built with the right expertise, custom internal business tools boost productivity, enhance communication and collaboration, save time and costs, reduce errors, increase capacity, and more.
Certainly! One of the primary benefits of custom internal app development is its ability to integrate seamlessly with existing systems, such as CRM, ERP, or other management tools, ensuring a cohesive workflow across platforms.
The development timeline for a custom internal business application can range from a few weeks to a few months, depending on the app’s complexity, features, and scope. We work closely with our clients to establish a clear timeline and ensure that each project is delivered on schedule.
The cost of developing an internal business app depends on the app's complexity, design requirements, features, and technologies used. We offer custom quotes based on these factors.
Security is our highest priority. We ensure that all data handling and storage processes comply with business and governmental requirements and regulations, such as the GDPR and SOC 2. Additionally, we implement industry-standard security practices, including advanced and logical security audits, data encryption, and secure authentication to best protect your app and user data from any potential threats.
We also take measurements to prevent data breaches. Our primary strategy involves tokenization, a process in which we replace your app’s sensitive information with unique tokens that serve as placeholders, layering and protecting the original data while maintaining functionality within our systems. We also implement additional measures, including access controls, encryption, data masking, and regular backups, to further protect your users' information.
All of our apps are designed and developed with scalability in mind. We utilize flexible architectures and technologies to accommodate increased traffic and data loads, ensuring scalability.
Depending on your project's requirements, we utilize technologies such as the internal tools builder Retool for rapid prototyping and traditional coding frameworks for more complex features.
Absolutely! At Rapid Dev, we provide post-launch support to assist with ongoing maintenance and regular updates, including bug fixes, performance monitoring, and security updates. We also add new features or make improvements to ensure your app remains secure, fully functional, and up-to-date, adapting to your business's evolving needs.
