Creating a powerful and successful application takes some serious legwork. Each plan is unique, and not every solution fits every app, but keeping these factors in mind helps us hit the ground running with greater ease and efficiency.

user Experience first

Whether we're talking about a mobile or web application, the user experience is the top priority. It's all about understanding what the users want and need, which keeps us moving the product in the right direction and creating a smooth and enjoyable experience.

the core principles

In any stage of development, it's crucial to stay on our toes and avoid creating unnecessary work or jumping in without a solid plan. Every project should serve as a reminder of the 6-P's and KISS principle, helping us keep things efficient and effective.

Databases & erd's

Having an understanding of database structures and the way they interact with various data types brings a multitude of advantages. It not only elevates user satisfaction through data-driven design, but also enhances communication between the backend and frontend components.

Connecting with clients

It's important not to dismiss the small details because clients often tend to overcomplicate when describing their application requirements. This calls for a hefty dose of critical thinking to dig deep and uncover the essence of their needs.

“Mackenzie is one of the most prepared people I have ever met. Her thoroughness, planning skills, and ability to marry database design with UI has been an asset to our team.”
