Our process - Streamlined Development for Stellar Results

At Astrify, we believe in empowering businesses with powerful tools that streamline workflows, enhance productivity, and drive growth. Our unique development process combines rapid prototyping, iterative refinement, and expert collaboration to deliver exceptional results within weeks, not months.

Kickstarting Your Project

The first step in the Astrify process is to understand your business needs. We do this by asking all potential clients to fill out our a detailed online questionnaire. This lets us efficiently gather critical information about your project’s scope, user base, integration needs, and desired outcomes.

Based on your responses, we'll determine if Astrify's model is the right fit for your business. If we believe we can deliver exceptional value within our rapid development framework, we'll reach out to you to formalize our engagement.

Once your engagement is confirmed, we'll schedule a focused one-hour kickoff meeting to delve deeper into your project requirements. This is an opportunity to clarify any questions, discuss specific functionalities, and ensure we're aligned on your vision.

Included in this phase

  • In-depth project questionnaire
  • Project feasibility assessment
  • Formalize engagement
  • Focused kickoff meeting

Building Your Vision: Initial Prototype

Once your engagement is confirmed, we'll schedule a focused one-hour kickoff meeting to delve deeper into your project requirements. This is an opportunity to clarify any questions, discuss specific functionalities, and ensure we're aligned on your vision.

While we work on building your initial prototype, we'll guide you through setting up your hosting environment on Laravel Cloud and creating a GitHub repository for your project's code. This ensures a smooth transition and ownership of your project's infrastructure from day one.

Within the first few hours of your engagement, we'll deliver a functional prototype of your dashboard or application in a dedicated staging environment. This allows you to interact with the core features, explore the user interface, and start gathering valuable feedback.

Deliver

After refining the prototype based on your feedback, we prepare to deliver the final product or the next phase. Our goal is to ensure that the delivered solution is fully functional and meets your business needs.

As we approach completion of each phase, we work closely with you to determine the best path forward — whether it's continuing development, transitioning to a hosting-only plan, or pausing the engagement until new needs arise.

Included in this phase

  • Final delivery. Each phase ends with a fully functional delivery, ready for use and further iteration.
  • Ongoing support. We offer continued support and maintenance, ensuring your workflow remains smooth and scalable.
  • Transition. Whether moving to a hosting-only plan or pausing development, we make sure the transition is seamless.

Our values - Balancing reliability and innovation

We strive to stay at the forefront of emerging trends and technologies, while completely ignoring them and forking that old Rails project we feel comfortable using. We stand by our core values to justify that decision.

  • Meticulous. The first part of any partnership is getting our designer to put your logo in our template. The second step is getting them to do the colors.
  • Efficient. We pride ourselves on never missing a deadline which is easy because most of the work was done years ago.
  • Adaptable. Every business has unique needs and our greatest challenge is shoe-horning those needs into something we already built.
  • Honest. We are transparent about all of our processes, banking on the simple fact our clients never actually read anything.
  • Loyal. We foster long-term relationships with our clients that go beyond just delivering a product, allowing us to invoice them for decades.
  • Innovative. The technological landscape is always evolving and so are we. We are constantly on the lookout for new open source projects to clone.
