Building an application is like doing art. You have an idea that needs to be transformed into something the world can use. We take our development process very seriously and ensure it’s optimized for speed and quality. We will guide you through the process of building your app with Calda.
Let's build an app
Building an application is like doing art. You have an idea that needs to be transformed into something the world can use. We take our development process very seriously and ensure it’s optimized for speed and quality. We will guide you through the process of building your app with Calda.
It all starts with an idea.
We need to understand what your goals are when it comes to the development of your application. You could show it to a potential investor or test it with test users, or you might want it to be ready to scale to millions from the very get-go. We help you identify these goals and, based on that, select the proper tech stack and define a development plan.
Building a solid foundation.
We do our best to ensure the development process is quick and efficient and produces high-quality applications. We often get acknowledged as an “extension of our clients’ team” rather than an outsourced partner.
You get your dedicated Project manager
We open a dedicated Slack channel for ongoing communication.
We set up one or two weekly recurring meetings.
You can access our logged hours and Kanbann board for full transparency.
During the Discovery phase, we go through a process where we find ways that will allow us to translate your idea into a functional application. We also help you define how the app will provide value to your users and define possible ways to use the app with so-called User Flowcharts.
Based on User Flowcharts, which tell how users navigate the app, we start working on low-fidelity wireframes. These are all of the screens your app will have, but they don’t have any colors or shapes yet.
Low-fidelity screens are our “blueprint” for the development, which is why we don’t move on to the next steps until we have laid the foundation of your application.
The next part is making your app look modern and “sexy”. This is where we apply colors, shapes and other UI elements that make your application visually appealing. Our in-house Graphic & Motion designers can also create custom 2D or 3D graphic elements that elevate the “feel” of your app to a new level. That’s how we “WOW” your users.

The screens that we have designed so far, now have to be built into a functional application. This is the part called frontend development. We use different Lowcode platforms that allow us to be very quick with this process. Our in-house frontend developers can also create custom components in Flutter, ReactNative or VueJS, so that your app is no “cookie-cutter”.
Quick development process with tools like FlutterFlow or WeWeb
Possibility to create custom components in VueJS or Flutter.
Functional and “cross-platform” and “cross-device” responsive design.
Backend of your application is like an engine in a car. It makes it work. When we develop your application we make sure it’s secure, scalable and fast. Similar to frontend development, we first develop a “blueprint” or a database scheme. This is also the part where we integrate any kind of 3rd party tools or integrations to your app. We are one of 15 Supabase certified agencies in the world, which proves our expertise when it comes to the backend development.
Once we have developed all of the features, we test the app internally and share a test version with you and your team. After the testing period is done and we make the necessary changes, we go through a publication process which usually takes a week or two. We can publish your app to your custom domain, App Store and Google Play Store.
Post-dev
After we have successfully published your app to web domain or App Store and Google Play Store, we offer a 30-day free bug fixing period, where we make sure to support your launch by fixing any bugs. After the 30-day period, we also offer very affordable support packages that allow you to contact us any time and we make sure to resolve potential issues.
