Startup budget, enterprise value
Our process is rigorous and consistently applied to ensure we deliver the highest quality product no matter how big or small your budget is.
Custom ui/ux
Airdev is the world’s largest no-code agency for businesses. We help companies of all sizes launch custom production-grade no-code software products in a fraction of the time and cost of traditional developers.
Client success stories
We use Airtable as our central database for a number of different apps built on multiple platforms, but it couldn’t handle the experience we wanted to create for our coaching app. Airdev built us a custom app that syncs with Airtable, so we have the best of both worlds.
We helped MedSchoolCoach utilize Airtable to offer personalized guidance to thousands of successful medical school applicants.
Airdev has helped our Bay Area region to ditch the spreadsheets in order to better support our teachers. In just one month, we built an internal CRM system to fit our unique data needs and allow coaches to add and review notes on the go.
We created an internal operating system for Teach For America to manage teacher training, staffing, and support across the 2-year corps year experience.
In just two weeks, Airdev created an elegantly streamlined version of our previous gig management platform, built on top of our Salesforce data. The result became an instant hit with our network of linguists, while dramatically reducing the time we spend on ongoing maintenance.
We helped Cadence reduce stress and cost by connecting Salesforce data to a custom gig portal for thousands of expert translators.
Airdev has been critical to our venture's progress. They truly offer a seemingly impossible value proposition: they not only sit in the intersection between quality, speed, and cost, but also bring business wits into the process. In the end, I truly considered Airdev our partners in our venture.
We built tax management software for LATAM that supported 20k daily users and launched a successful YCombinator bid for Tributi founders.
As non-technical, female founders of a mission-driven organization, we got a lot of feedback that our idea was nice but we needed to get a technical co-founder on board to be taken seriously. What AirDev has been able to accomplish in just a week is totally astounding and fits our needs perfectly.
We helped Mon Ami launch their 2-sided marketplace providing community support for elders, leading to successful VC funding and growth.
Feature-rich web applications
Great designs don't have to sacrifice customizability for usability. Build a modern and intuitive experience for users that utilizes your Airtable data how you want.
Well-crafted UX means little if your backend lacks the ability to handle more complex uses cases. From simple logic to machine learning algorithms, we've programmed immersive experiences personalized down to the individual user.
no-code MVps
Tools like Airtable and Zapier give you the cheapest and quickest path to test new products and ideas, but once your customers start demanding more features and personalization, it becomes an obstacle.
No-code’s ease of use comes at the cost of feature limitations and customizability. When scaling, new tools need to be added to increase functionality and personalization. This often creates a disorganized web that presents many challenges:
Airdev's startup dna
Airdev was built to work with both entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs. Half of our team are former founders and we've built the process to be lean and iterative.
Our process is rigorous and consistently applied to ensure we deliver the highest quality product no matter how big or small your budget is.
We recruit and train the best talent and build cross-functional teams that work together from build to build. Team synergy enhances our ability to execute your build.
Change is a constant in business. Our builds are designed to be flexible and extensible, and your team is ready to support you as you evolve.
airdev + Bubble
Bubble is a visual programming language with the benefits of no-code and code. It's fast, easy-to-use, and inexpensive, but like code, it's highly customizable and is only limited by your imagination. It’s the perfect platform for scaling.
Your product and tech stack are crucial to your business so it pays to have a strategy for it. Airdev has helped hundreds of clients turn their no-code stack into scalable business platforms that are secure, performant, and extensible.
Many of our clients approach us once their no-code stack becomes unmanageable and impractical. For some, we migrated their entire stack to Bubble, and for others, just parts of it. No matter your situation, reaching out early ensures the smoothest transition possible.
OUR PROCESS
Our process takes lean to the next level, enabling startups and enterprises to get to market quickly to validate and learn.
Our specialists will work with you to understand your current no-code stack and your most urgent problems and limitations. With the support of our product team behind them, we start designing a roadmap to get you where you want to go.
Before we break ground on a build, we create a detailed scope doc for transitioning clients onto Bubble based on their needs, priority, and budget. If needed, we will build out a fast prototype to test feasibility and performance before clients decide to proceed to development. This allows our team to know exactly what success is, and for you to know exactly what you are getting.
We build in weekly development sprints, each with a concrete deliverable set beforehand. During a build week, you can relax knowing the team is hard at work building features according to the official scope doc. After each milestone, your PM reviews progress live and collects feedback, so you can make sure everything is going according to plan.
Our 30-day review period is designed to ensure you launch your app with confidence. During this period, you can test every aspect of your app and flag any issues for us to resolve before launch. When you're ready to launch, we deploy your app and hand over full IP ownership so you are in control.
No product is complete after the initial build — your app must evolve in response to user feedback. Your PM is on call to help you scope out follow-on builds or setup an ongoing support plan to tackle your product roadmap over time. A startup's journey is unpredictable, so we give you control of when and how you use your Airdev team to get there.
AIRDEV Vs. TRADITIONAL DEV
With better outcomes on a dramatically shorter timeline, Airdev helps startups and enterprises make tech an unfair advantage.
FAQ
Can I scale my Bubble-built app?
Yes. We always design apps to optimize for scale, based on our understanding of the potential features and user behavior our client envisions. The Bubble technology is built to scale, with the ability to upgrade server capacity as needed (including migrating to a dedicated AWS cluster) to service a growing user base. Bubble provides simple dashboards and notifications to track app capacity usage to help you adjust as needed.
What security features does Bubble have?
Yes. Bubble is built on Amazon Web Services (AWS), which is itself compliant with certifications such as SOC 2, CSA, ISO 27001, and more. All data behind Bubble apps is stored in the cloud using AWS and is generally hosted on AWS West Region (Oregon, US) which maintains a state-of-the-art security infrastructure. Below are more of Bubble’s security features:
How much will my no-code app cost to build?
We price our projects based on how much effort they are going to take. The key factors are how much functionality you're looking to build, how complex the functionality is, and whether you we use our design framework or implement a custom design. Feel free to reach out if you'd like to get a quote for your project, or read more about Airdev’s approach to pricing here.
Who owns the IP rights to my application?
You own the rights to your concept, your application, and all user-generated data created through the app. Airdev retains the ownership of the IP for our predesigned page and element templates that we use across multiple projects. More details on this distinction can be found in the client contract you can review before approving a build.
Is Airdev able to support and extend my application as it grows?
Yes, you can come back to us at any point after the initial build for additional work. You can request ad-hoc updates or sign up for a monthly plan, which will come with a certain amount of team capacity.
What technology will my application be built on?
We build on the latest visual programming framework, Bubble, which allows us to build incredibly quickly and flexibly with minimal technical input. This reduces the cost and headache to our clients, and increases app stability out of the gate. Bubble itself is written in CoffeeScript running on Node.js, uses Postgres databases hosted on AWS, and exposes POST or GET APIs for third-party connections. The app can be easily connected to external APIs and the app's database can be easily exported.
What are the limitations? What can you not build?
There are a few categories of tools that we can't help with:
- Fully native mobile apps (e.g. Whatsapp or Uber) - though web-based mobile apps are supported
- Existing products written in code
- Apps that need to work without an internet connection
