When hiring an app or web development team to build custom software, one variable matters most: are the developers fully dedicated to your success, or are you one client of many?

Designli brings together designers, engineers, and business minds into on-demand, dedicated product teams that pour themselves, full-time, into the success of your app or web-app initiative.

Existing as your dedicated software engineering department, we'll work together to solve your most pressing business problems with custom software.

How it Works, and What We Can Build:

  • Designli designsdevelops, and launches beautiful apps and web-apps that you'll be proud to own, with a process that makes sense.
  • Most importantly, we'll do this with a team that is assigned full-time to your project.
  • With a step-by-step process, we'll begin by creating a clickable simulation of the User Interface of your app or website, and a development-ready backlog with each feature defined, estimated, and ready to code. 
  • Entrepreneurs use this output for fundraising. Business leaders use it for internal buy-in and market validation.
  • When you choose to move into Development, our staff will be assigned full-time to you, and this team will be composed of the disciplines you need. 
  • Left alone, designers will create art projects. Engineers will create science fair gizmos. Business minds will create spreadsheets. Your development team will include all three, singularly focused on your success.

Challenge

A group of surgeons wanted to create something with the quality of a top learning app but specific to the field of surgery. Their existing WordPress site wasn't getting the job done anymore because it couldn't handle the variety of content types, from podcasts and audiobooks to PDFs and ebooks.

Solution

After a thorough UX/UI design process to build trust, Behind the Knife elected to pursue a year-long development contract. This engagement allowed for an agile process with regular releases along the way.

Result

Upon reaching a satisfactory point, they were able to scale down at will and drop into a maintenance plan. Pausing once the MVP reached a good point allowed Behind the Knife to save costs while awaiting market feedback.

Challenge

Hospital supply rooms have earned a negative reputation in the healthcare industry. Nurses and other professionals spend a long time looking for supplies, and sometimes they can't find what they need. All the while, patients are becoming dissatisfied by the wait.

Solution

AskIris is a healthcare mobile application with several key features: Allow healthcare professionals to search by voice or text to find what they need immediately, Provide low-stock alerts so supply room administrators can order more, Allow medical supply admin to manage inventory via CSV.

Result

AskIris is built with AngularJS, NodeJS, and Flutter. Cross-platform application development allows this app to function on Android, iPhone, Apple Watch, and Zebra devices. The AskIris app's ability to function on Zebra devices is proving extremely valuable for the go-to-market strategy.

Challenge

The true challenge of creating this educational app was in taking cutting-edge research and condensing it into a simple user experience. Designli's UX design and product roadmapping session helped Virtuosity take shape. The result is a systematized approach to character development.

Solution

The team behind Virtuosity is savvy enough to know that launching a minimum viable product (MVP) is only the beginning. They went on to launch new features and functionality, using their dedicated development team as they would an in-house product team.

Result

A well-planned release and intentional feature addition made this app especially valuable to organizations. Virtuosity sells largely to government entities and universities throughout Canada.

We've been working with Designli since 2022 to build our healthcare software, AskIris, and the experience has been outstanding from day one. Their team is not only highly skilled and professional, but also deeply invested in our success. They’ve taken the time to truly understand our vision and have consistently delivered thoughtful, high-quality solutions that are critical to our business. Communication has always been clear, timely, and collaborative — it truly feels like we have a partner, not just a development team. I can’t recommend Designli highly enough to any founder or company looking for a development team that’s reliable, strategic, and genuinely great to work with.

We've been working with Designli for several years, and the experience has been nothing short of exceptional. As the co-founder of a startup app, finding a development partner who is not only technically skilled but also collaborative, reliable, and invested in our success has been critical — and Designli has consistently delivered. Keith and Josh have been a pleasure to work with. They’re always accessible, responsive, and thoughtful in their approach. Whether it's quickly addressing urgent issues or helping us navigate strategic changes, they've demonstrated impressive flexibility, insight, and care. As our product has evolved, so have our needs — and the Designli team has adapted at every stage. I highly recommend Designli to anyone seeking a dependable, long-term development partner.
