Developing web & mobile products for businesses
Overview
Over the last 15 years, Skalfa provided software and mobile app development services to companies of all sizes, from independent startups to government NGOs and multinational enterprises. In recent times we focused on Progressive Web App (PWA) development, as it becomes a major selling point for many businesses. Our work is built around Agile principles, which allows us to keep all clients happy and informed about every stage of sprint-based project development, introduce changes on-the-fly, and deliver results on time. In addition to development and design teams, we have in-house project managers, quality assurance and research teams, all ready to tackle projects of any scale.

What reviewers mention most
“Dating site for ethical non-monogamous people”
I was looking for an out-of-the-box solution for my dating site and after thorough research, I decided to work with Skalfa. I very much appreciated that they were very responsive and supportive during the site building process and brought in a lot of useful expertise. I recommend Skalfa and I'm happy to work with them in the future!
“Skalfa websites and support service”
I have been using skalfa services for just over 2 years. Even though they are not a 24/7 support team, they are prompt on their responses within their working hours. Any questions or support I have needed for my website has been top notch. They are extremely friendly and care about your business and take pride on how they can help you to be successful.
“AuPair.click our opinion ”
Skalfa gave us great support in our project. We now have a fully functional platform and apps where AuPairs and host families can find themselves. I would also like thank the whole team and especially thanks to Margareth, who had been involved. She has made an above-average commitment

Executive Interview
Please introduce your company and give a brief about your role within the company?
What are your company’s business model–in house team or third party vendors/ outsourcing?
When it comes to building a working product, a customer can rely on us being the single-stop partner for everything related to specification, design, implementation, quality assurance, and subsequent support and maintenance. The customer does not have to arrange a complex process of co-operating with other vendors. Another benefit is, even if only one of our developers is hired for the project, that comes with complete project management, reporting and essential quality assurance included. Usually, these costs are hidden and are not reflected in the lower face-value hour rate. We believe in a transparent conversation with a customer from the start.
Our customers have been tackling diverse challenges in mobile, big data, payments, video, and niche marketplace areas. Organically we have been taking on a lot of small to the middle to big community/marketplace projects. Typically, only larger customers have an ongoing demand for development services, and we’ve been enjoying a high rate of retaining business in that segment.
Mention the objectives or the parameters critical in determining the time frame of developing a mobile app.
How much effort in terms of time goes into developing the front end and back end of a mobile app?
What are the key parameters to be considered before selecting the right platform for a mobile application?
At this point, you have to have both iOS and Android, which we do all the time. If you don’t want to develop both native apps at once, you may opt for Progressive Web Apps (PWA) technology implemented with the Ionic framework. It’s one of our core competencies, including Audio/Video via WebRTC. A big benefit of PWA is launching an idea 2-3 times faster (saving budget) to guide further development by user reaction.
Android or iOS, Native or Hybrid — which platform is best to use to build your app? What are your recommendations?
What are the key factors that you consider before deciding the cost of a mobile application?
What kind of payment structure do you follow to bill your clients? Is it Pay per Feature, Fixed Cost, Pay per Milestone (could be in phases, months, versions, etc.)
Do you take in projects which meet your essential budget requirement? If yes, what is the minimum requirement? If no, on what minimum budget you have worked for?
What is the price range (min and max) of the projects that you catered to in 2018?
Which business model do you suggest to your clients, enabling them to generate revenue from mobile applications? Why?
