Featured Projects
Want to get started on your custom software?
We offer our Pathfinding process as a standalone project with a fixed price. We offer a couple of different options depending on how far you’d like to take your project.
If you have a values-aligned project and you think we’re the right fit, please get in touch and let’s get you started on your custom software path!
Our Process
Project Kickoff and Technical Pathfinding
Before starting on any long journey, it’s wise to plan — a custom software project is undoubtedly a long journey. We start every custom software project with a standalone needs assessment process we call “Pathfinding.” Pathfinding will ensure you’re building the right project, in the right way, at the right time. Through the process, we’ll define where you’re going, how long it will take, how much fuel (budget) you should expect to use, and what risks face us along the way. A typical Pathfinding kickoff session takes at least half a day (either in person or remotely).
Pathfinding Report
We’ll then use the knowledge learned from the kickoff meeting and create a report detailing the functionality and technical requirements. We’ll also build a clickable prototype of the proposed software application to show how the interface should function. Once we complete this process you’ll know exactly what we're building and all stakeholders will be on the same page.
Budget Defined
At this point, any software developer will have enough information to provide accurate costs to build the software. You can use the provided report to issue an RFP for the project, use it in funding applications, your business plan, or as an internal presentation for your team. Should you choose Animikii to build your software, we will provide a price to develop the software exactly as described in the Pathfinding. We never bill hourly which means your costs are always transparent and predictable.
Build It
Together, we will discuss timelines, deliverables, and important dates to track against and put together a project schedule. Our talented team of web designers and software developers will get to work and our project manager will provide regular updates to you along the way. We guarantee all of our work which means we keep working hard until we get it exactly right, bug-free, and meeting expectations.
