"Find the simple story in the product, and present it in an articulate and intelligent, persuasive way." - Bill Bernbach
We understand that all customers expect beautiful applications, whether they're for business or pleasure. However, we also understand that beautiful does not always mean easy to use. Our in house design team not only creates beautiful designs but respects the user experience. People's attention span is short, and if they can't quickly and easily understand the software they will seek alternatives. Happy users are frequent users and we like happy users.
"Any fool can write code that a computer can understand. Good programmers write code that humans can understand" - Martin Fowler
When it comes to writing software not all code is created equal. Good code stands the test of time; it's sold as a rock but can also be customised for specific needs. At Ravensoft we have a substantial library of common, proven and tested code than we can leverage quickly into your applications. When developing code, we treat it with care and love, knowing that it's going to serve us and our clients reliably for a long time.
"If you don't care about quality, you can't meet any other requirement." - Gerald M. Weinberg
In modern app development, proper testing is often overlooked. With the range of devices increasing every week, it's easy to treat end users as testers. In the hostile world of the app stores, a poorly tested product can be at the mercy of amateur experts for days before an update is released and issues can be fixed. Can you really afford you brand to be exposed for that length of time? As well as an in house test team, we also employ a range of automated unit testing techniques to ensure the high quality of our product, even before our clients see it.
"Watch the product life cycle; but more important, watch the market life cycle." - Kotler
In the world of blogs, news groups and social media you can't afford to release a product into the wild and leave it to fend for its self. The user is king, their opinion matters and if you don't listen your brand will suffer. We listen to user feedback, reviews and comments and react quickly to changes in the market. This ensures that your product is always relevant and hence successful.
