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 designs, develops, 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.

client over the phone. Below is an edited
transcript.
BACKGROUND
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m the CIO at National Trench Safety LLC, a specialty rental company in the construction industry.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What challenge were you trying to address with Designli?
We needed help with building our customer portal.
SOLUTION
What was the scope of their involvement?
We worked together with Designli to build a customer portal. They led the entire process, handling the development, design, and deployment of the platform. This also included wireframing. Their team used Angular for the frontend and built a serverless backend using AWS.
The portal has already been launched, and their team is currently helping us implement several features.
What is the team composition?
We work with around 10 people from their team, including a project manager and front- and backend developers.
How did you come to work with Designli?
We found them through online research. We wanted to work with a company that could handle both the development and design aspects of our project, and Designli seemed to be the most suitable option based on our requirements.
How much have you invested with them?
We’ve spent about $500,000.
What is the status of this engagement?
We started working with them in March 2022, and our partnership is still ongoing.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
The portal they’ve created has an intuitive design, so we’ve been able to roll it out to many customers without having to teach them on how to use it. It’s also worth noting that they’ve managed to build a working product from scratch within an aggressive timeline.
How did Designli perform from a project management standpoint?
They’ve done an excellent job in this regard. We use Basecamp as our project management tool.
What did you find most impressive about them?
The quality of their work is excellent. We’ve really enjoyed every aspect of our collaboration; they’re really good people and good at what they do.
Are there any areas they could improve on?
I can’t think of anything — working with Designli has been one of the best experiences I’ve ever had.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
Make sure to provide a good idea of what it is that you want from them.

Designli is helping an immigration consulting firm create the UI/UX of their app. Their tasks include creating the design framework and developing a proof of concept.
While it’s too early to report on any metrics, the client has been pleased with the project’s progress — they’re about to move on to the design implementation phase. Designli does a great job of always meeting deadlines and sticking to the budget. Their responsiveness has been exceptional.
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this
client over the phone. Below is an edited
transcript.
BACKGROUND
Introduce your business and what you do there.
Our company is BDV Solutions, and we use our immigration program to source foreign laborers for entry-level jobs in US companies. We sold a part of the company, but I’m still one of the owners of the remaining part.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What challenge were you trying to address with Designli?
We wanted to design an app that would attract people around the world who are interested in immigrating to the US. To that end, we needed to determine whether the strategy we seek to use to achieve this is digitally viable.
SOLUTION
What was the scope of their involvement?
Designli is helping us design the UI/UX of our app. Essentially, the app would help users determine the best visa strategy for their respective circumstances. Their team is working on the design framework and developing the proof of concept.
What is the team composition?
We usually work with five people from Designli, including an engineer, a UI/UX designer, and a data person. There’s also probably 2–3 more people helping out from their side.
How did you come to work with Designli?
I’m an investor in a local company that worked with Designli several times before. The founder of that company recommended them to me, saying that their team was very organized and straightforward to work with.
How much have you invested with them?
So far, we’ve invested around $10,000–$20,000 in this project. The overall project budget is probably around $500,000.
What is the status of this engagement?
We started working with Designli in June 2024, and our engagement is ongoing. We’re hoping to have a beta version of our app by the end of the year.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
We don’t have specific metrics yet, but Designli’s work has met our expectations. We recently just finished the design phase and are now trying to determine if we can start implementing the design.
How did Designli perform from a project management standpoint?
They’ve delivered everything on time and within budget. In most instances, they’re the ones waiting for my feedback rather than me waiting on them. We’ve had in-person meetings with their team, but we mainly communicate through Microsoft Teams. For managing tasks, they use Bubble.
What did you find most impressive about them?
We’re most impressed with Designli’s responsiveness and timeliness.
Are there any areas they could improve?
I have no complaints about Designli at all. Everything’s been going the way they said it would.
Do you have any advice for future clients of theirs
Based on our experience, it would be helpful to make yourself and your team more available to them.

client over the phone. Below is an edited
transcript.
BACKGROUND
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I'm the founder of CORRail, a railway software technology company.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What challenge were you trying to address with Designli?
We hired Designli to develop a software product that my company came up with.
SOLUTION
What was the scope of their involvement?
Designli helped us develop a web-based software app we had ideated. Following our outline, their team took the railway network and used its GPS coordinates and mileposts to develop a prototype. As for the technology stack, they used Figma and integrated different plug-ins.
The features for the final product will include notifications, GPS coordinates, and milepost labels using mapping technology. It'll also have a toggle feature, allowing users to use toggle buttons to configure their choices. The app will also have a number of updates, so we'll keep it up to date automatically through dates and locations.
What is the team composition?
We had four or five different teammates from Designli (designers and developers) who were part of all of our conversations, and everyone worked together to build this platform.
How did you come to work with Designli?
I originally found them online. We used them in the past for another project that we never finished, so this was the second time I hired them. When I originally approached Designli, I knew that I wanted to work with a South Carolina-based firm and found some type of review about them, so I contacted them.
How much have you invested with them?
We spent about $25,000.
What is the status of this engagement?
We worked together on this project from June–August 2024. However, I'm going to contract Designli again to develop the full product.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
Designli successfully delivered the prototype for this project, as well as the outline and blueprints for the final product. Overall, the quality of the prototype met our expectations. We're still in negotiations with potential customers. Our original idea was to use this prototype as part of our sales pitch, sell it to our customers, and then develop it.
How did Designli perform from a project management standpoint?
Designli was always on time and responded to any of my questions within 24 hours. Moreover, they were consistent with the deliverables, and they completed each one before the next meeting. We had weekly phone calls and, at times, even almost daily phone calls to talk about the process. I even had phone and text conversations with the owner, and we had Zoom calls as well.
What did you find most impressive about them?
I've only worked with another potential provider who didn't exactly do what Designli did. Still, the main difference between Designli and that person was the one-on-one collaboration with Designli's owner. As mentioned, we even had text conversations.
Are there any areas they could improve?
I can't think of anything Designli could have improved on.
Do you have any advice for future clients of theirs?
Have a detailed plan around your vision and present as much information to Designli as you can. A lot of the most interesting parts of this project were discussed before we even discussed hiring them.

Designli has designed the UI/UX of an AI storage startup’s mobile app. The team is also slated to connect the app’s frontend to its backend and use technologies such as non-generative AI and computer vision.
The client is happy with Designli’s work. The team has been helpful in identifying possible issues in the app and finding solutions. They’re organized and facilitate regular meetings to keep the client informed about their work. They ask plenty of questions and are attentive to the client’s needs.
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this
client over the phone. Below is an edited
transcript.
BACKGROUND
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m the founder of an AI storage startup that’s over half a year old.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What challenge were you trying to address with Designli?
I hired Designli to design the UI/UX of a mobile app for Android and iOS.
SOLUTION
What was the scope of their involvement?
Designli helped me design the app's overall look and workflow. We met twice weekly for about an hour to discuss the app’s visuals and fonts. We also discussed the minute details of how a user might use the app, what problems they might encounter, and how to overcome them.
Currently, we’re in talks of getting Designli’s full stack developers to connect the app’s front- and backend. However, we still have to plan a few other things, such as the marketing and Kickstarter campaign. For technologies, we’re using non-generative AI and computer vision technologies with multi-modal components.
For features and functionality, the app’s premise is to help users remember where they put things. Users can take photos or videos of what they’re putting away, and the app will automatically identify the item. For instance, if a user wants to go hiking, the app will identify items they might need for the hike and show the items’ locations.
How much have you invested with them?
We’ve paid around $20,700 for the app’s design.
What is the status of this engagement?
I met some of Designli’s representatives in March 2024 and started doing a bit of work in April 2024. The engagement is ongoing.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
We have an idea of how we want to design and build the app, but Designli has been great at determining possible issues and finding workarounds. It’s great to have them working on the app; their insights have been useful. The app’s UI/UX design would be quite different if we tried to build it from scratch without the Designli team.
How did Designli perform from a project management standpoint?
Designli’s project management is great. We always have weekly meetings, and we have to reschedule them from time to time, but this isn’t a problem because they’re truly attentive. They always ask many questions and seek more details to fully understand what I need. This helps them execute tasks properly—their developers even join many of our meetings. They remain patient even if our meetings go for over an hour.
In terms of tools, they use Basecamp and Otter.ai to ensure we have all the transcripts and recordings of our meetings.
What did you find most impressive about them?
Designli is attentive and listens well to our needs. They’re truly professional and have a streamlined and top-notch approach to the project.
Are there any areas they could improve?
This isn’t a major problem, but it would be better if they could let me know earlier — such as a day or so — if we have to reschedule meetings. Since I’m building a new app, I have to jump here and there.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
Check the meetings’ transcripts and ask yourself if you’ve missed anything. Write some notes and bring them up in the next meeting. This is important if you’re developing an app that looks fairly simple on the surface but is complicated underneath.

Designli designed a prototype of a mobile app for a peer-to-peer rental marketplace. The process was collaborative, as the team helped the client organize their ideas and define the app's features.
Designli delivered a prototype that far exceeded the client's expectations. The team was able to translate the client's ideas and improve upon them to create a spectacular result. Moreover, they were experienced, accommodating to the client's schedule, and communicated well via email and Basecamp.
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this
client over the phone. Below is an edited
transcript.
BACKGROUND
Introduce your business and what you do there.
Lincoln Brannick: I’m the owner and CEO of Local Rentz, a peer-to-peer rental marketplace for all types of things, not just places to stay.
Reese Null: I'm the CTO of the company.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What challenge were you trying to address with Designli?
LB: We had an idea for an app. Our goal was to create an entire ecosystem for people to rent anything between each other easily. Thus, we hired Designli to help us create a prototype that would lead to an MVP in the future.
SOLUTION
What was the scope of their involvement?
LB: Designli helped us create a prototype for our app. Additionally, they helped us organize our ideas and things we hadn't thought of before. They had done these projects more times than us, as this was our first time creating an app, so they were able to provide us with insight regarding what we should look at. They also brought their own ideas to the table.
RN: After we contacted Designli, we first started scheduling meetings and communicating with each other to discuss and work on the project.
LB: Our platform features a search engine that allows users to find items that can be rented near them. The search bar also has filters. Moreover, we have a local map where users can look for those items as well. The platform also has extremely well-designed user profiles.
RN: In addition to those features, Designli helped us create a reviews feature for the prototype. An app like ours will rely heavily on trust, so a very helpful thing was making the reviews feature easy and transparent for both sides, owners and renters.
What is the team composition?
LB: We worked with a total of nine teammates from Designli, including Diego (Web Developer), two product designers, another developer, Joshua (Co-Founder & COO), and Ignacio (Product Owner), who pushed the project forward. Keith (CEO) also touched base with us multiple times to see how the project was going. Moreover, their director of operations kept everything on schedule and on pace. Overall, there were a lot of teammates helping.
How did you come to work with Designli?
LB: We found them through a Google search when we were looking for app developers. On multiple websites, Designli was one of the number one recommended companies.
How much have you invested with them?
LB: We spent around $13,500.
What is the status of this engagement?
LB: We started working with them around March 2024, and the project was completed in April 2024. However, they'll continue to help us with the next phases; we're still planning future work for them.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
RN: The prototype that Designli created for us was far more than what we were expecting. It will help us credibly with our journey forward.
LB: Although we don't have metrics yet, I would like to speak to the quality of Designli's work. I knew what our prototype was in our minds, but Designli made it much more than a reality. They made the prototype better than we had imagined, so the end product was spectacular.
How did Designli perform from a project management standpoint?
LB: Nothing was truly unexpected to us, and there was no confusion. They really worked around our schedule to the best of their possibilities.
RN: Both of our schedules were a bit wonky at times, so it was difficult to schedule meetings. Still, Designli made it unbelievably easy for us. They even went out of their way and scheduled meetings out of office hours for them to talk to us. During those meetings, a lot of the project details came out, and they gave us a lot of knowledge, which was extremely appreciated.
RN: Moreover, they communicated well, so we knew when everything was going to be done. We mainly communicated via email, but we also used Basecamp.
Are there any employees from the service provider's team that you would like to give a shout-out to in this review?
RN: The whole Designli team did a lot of work, but I would like to give a shout-out to Ignacio. He was essential to a lot of our ideas and design thought processes throughout the engagement. We wouldn't have had the same prototype if he hadn't been on the team.
What did you find most impressive about them?
LB: I consider Designli's biggest strength to be their experience. Although we had an idea about what we wanted, we didn't know a lot about this process. Thus, the amount of experience and detail that they were able to add was invaluable.
Are there any areas they could improve?
RN: I can’t think of anything Designli could’ve done better.
LB: I can't think of any areas of improvement either. They were truly top-notch and blew our minds.
Do you have any advice for future clients of theirs?
LB: Be open and transparent with them. They want to help you, so they need to understand where you want to go. The more information you can give them, the better.

Are there any areas they could improve?
I can't think of anything for Designli to improve.
Do you have any advice for future clients of theirs?
I suggest having a clear idea of what you're trying to accomplish when engaging with Designli.

A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this
client over the phone. Below is an edited
transcript.
BACKGROUND
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m a co-owner of Cap Tech Services, LLC., an oilfield service company based in Texas. We specialize in downhole chemical treatments in oil wells, running chemical systems in wells, and servicing and maintaining those wells.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What challenge were you trying to address with Designli?
We needed to create a web-based mobile application to track our daily services. We wanted to create an app so our customers could have 100% visibility of what we do daily and what’s done on the job.
SOLUTION
What was the scope of their involvement?
Designli has created a prototype that schedules work, logs the work, and tracks everything. Customers can see what’s being done without us having to send it to them; it’s all automated.
We initially had a conversation where we explained our thoughts, vision, design, and what we were trying to accomplish. Designli’s team understood the vision and put it into place.
The platform will be primarily for iOS, but it should work for Android too. They’ll also create a web interface through Airtable.
So far, Designli has created the prototype. Starting next week, they’ll put together a team for the custom code part.
What is the team composition?
Keith (Co-Founder & CEO) is our main contact, but our team consists of 6–8 people.
How did you come to work with Designli?
I found them on my own. I searched on the web and talked to 4–5 other companies. After a few meetings with each company, I decided to go with Designli for the final product.
How much have you invested with them?
The whole project will be around $180,000.
What is the status of this engagement?
We began working with them in January 2024, and the project is ongoing. It'll be another 4–5 months before we’re done.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
Designli has done a great job. They’re professional and good at visualizing and putting our thoughts into paper. We’re impressed with their team and ability to assemble something.
How did Designli perform from a project management standpoint?
Everything on the project management and budget sides has been clear and precise. They’ve communicated clearly and delivered as expected.
Are there any employees from the service provider's team that you would like to give a shout-out to in this review?
Ignacio (Product Owner) and the designer have done most of the design work. They’ve done an excellent job.
What did you find most impressive about them?
Although their company isn’t related to the oil industry, they can still visualize and understand what we’re trying to accomplish. Designli has exceptionally understood our scope and how our company works.
Are there any areas they could improve?
So far, everything’s been great, so I don’t have anything off the top of my head. We’ll see how the next months go; they must keep up the good work.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
I’d recommend them to anybody. Just reach out to Keith; he’s got a great team. They’ll understand your needs and deliver what you want.

BACKGROUND
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I'm the founder of a software company that is designed to get rid of lines at sporting events and concerts.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What challenge were you trying to address with Designli?
We wanted to build a mobile application for online ordering with window pick-up for food, beverage, and merchandising at concerts, festivals, and sporting events.
SOLUTION
What was the scope of their involvement?
The first thing we did after meeting Designli's team was set up a two-week sprint, a series of meetings where a software design team was allocated to us and spent two weeks building a skeleton mock-up of our app. During this time, the team asked many questions and did project thinking during those meetings, and through that work, the team came up with a framework for the app development that was created over the months following that two-week sprint.
We use Figma frequently. The team is working on the development of an iOS and Android application.
What is the team composition?
We're working with 4–6 teammates from Designli, including Ignacio (Product Owner) and Keith (Co-Founder & CEO). We've worked mostly with three team members full-time, and other teammates have been in and out of some meetings.
How did you come to work with Designli?
I found Designli through a Google search. I searched for the best app development companies and found a list of ten service providers across the country. I vetted several companies, and Designli was on that list and was the right fit for our project. How much have you invested with them?
At this point, we've spent under $20,000. We'll be climbing monthly moving forward.
What is the status of this engagement?
We've been working with Designli since November 2023, and our engagement is ongoing.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
The entire Designli team has done a fantastic job. Designli has opened up my way of thinking to facilitate new ideas and bring them into reality. The team has thought of things I didn't know I needed. Overall, I'm satisfied with Designli's work ethic and products.
How did Designli perform from a project management standpoint?
Designli delivers work on time and on budget. Designli communicates perfectly and is always on time for meetings. Project management is top-notch and exactly what I was looking for. We operate through Gmail as an email system, collaborate via Basecamp, and our website operates in Squarespace.
What did you find most impressive about them?
The most impressive aspect of Designli is that they make the client feel comfortable. This is a big expenditure; we're only about $20,000 in, but we could easily reach the $200,000 mark. The team makes me feel comfortable and confident, and I think that's their biggest asset.
Are there any areas they could improve?
I can't think of anything Designli can improve on. My company is small, and Designli complements my team and feels like part of my employees. I'm close to the team and feel like they have my best interest in mind.
Do you have any advice for future clients of theirs?
I suggest you follow the process, ask questions, and learn as much as you can from Designli because they're an asset to any company that chooses to use their services.

BACKGROUND
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I am the founder and owner of an HR software development company.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What challenge were you trying to address with Designli?
We’ve hired Designli for mobile application design and development.
SOLUTION
What was the scope of their involvement?
We started off with several meetings with Justin (Project Consultant) and worked out a plan for the engagement. We spent about three months before kicking off work on a prototype and then another three months developing the prototype. Figma is being used for the design, and Flutter for the development.
Key features include a GPS-based search function and an alert function to notify users about certain criteria entered into the app. The app is being developed for iOS and Android. We plan on engaging Designli for maintenance services once it is published.
What is the team composition?
We’ve worked with Katie (Business Analyst), Keith (CEO), Joshua (Co-Founder & COO), a designer, and a few other individuals. In total, we work with about 6–7 people.
How did you come to work with Designli?
We found Designli through a Google search. We didn’t have much personal experience in the web application space; when we talked to Designli, we felt their work was comprehensive and a good fit for our company.
How much have you invested with them?
We’ve spent between $35,000–$40,000.
What is the status of this engagement?
We started working with Designli in February 2023, and the engagement is ongoing.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
We’ve been really happy with the quality of work that Designli offers; their team has been delivering exactly what we’ve agreed on.
How did Designli perform from a project management standpoint?
Their timeline and quotes have been spot-on, and they have been communicative throughout the engagement. Our company is a small startup, so those things are extremely important to us. We use Basecamp for project management and email, phone calls, and Zoom meetings for communication.
What did you find most impressive about them?
Overall, we’ve been extremely impressed with Designli; they understand what we need and work toward our goals. We’ve also been impressed with our designer and the way that he’s been able to take our vision and turn it into a prototype.
Are there any areas they could improve?
There’s nothing that we can come up with at this point.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
Designate time upfront on the exploratory phase so their coders and graphic designers know your vision. Spending time in the beginning will improve the quality of your end result.
