How We do it
We use the most powerful no-code tools like Bubble that allow us to standardize common platform functionalities while custom building the unique features you need.
airdev + Bubble
Bubble is a visual programming language built like a SaaS platform. It's fast, easy-to-use, and inexpensive, but like code, it's highly customizable and is only limited by your imagination. It’s the perfect long-term solution for growing communities.
Never worry about server maintenance, infrastructure, or operations. Keep your community platform ad and distraction free and your member data private and secure. Bubble handles security, deployment, and hosting for you so you can concentrate on what you do best.
Gone are the days of making feature requests and hoping your platform provider will build it for you. With Airdev and Bubble, you own your platform and can create any experience or feature your community wants.
OUR PROCESS
Whether you need help with product design, onboarding, data migration, or planning future roadmaps, Airdev has a decade of experience building custom platforms and can help you tackle any challenge you face.
Our specialists work with you to understand your community's needs, business model, and current tech stack. Leveraging our experience with past builds, our specialists and product team help you design a community roadmap to get you where you want to go.
Before we break ground on a build, we create a detailed scope doc with descriptions and wireframes. This allows our team to know exactly what success is, and for you to know exactly what you are getting. Taking the time to get fully aligned enables us to hit every build deadline and ensure you like what you get at the end.
We build in weekly development sprints, each with a concrete deliverable set beforehand. During a build week, you can relax knowing the team is hard at work building features according to the official scope doc. After each milestone, your PM reviews progress live and collects feedback, so you can make sure everything is going according to plan.
Our 30-day review period is designed to ensure you launch your app with confidence. During this period, you can test every aspect of your app, start onboarding, migrate member data, and flag any issues for us to resolve before launch. When you're ready to launch, we deploy your app and hand over full IP ownership so you are in control.
As communities grow, your platform needs to evolve to meet changing requirements. During this stage, your PM is on call to help you scope out follow-on builds or setup an ongoing support plan to tackle your product roadmap over time. A startup's journey is unpredictable, so we give you control of when and how you use your Airdev team to get there.
Community success stories
As an MD, I know how important it is to have a community of peers and mentors to learn from when applying to med school. Airdev built us a custom platform that allowed us to create the kind of community and features that supported students through the challenging application process.
We helped MedSchoolCoach create a community for pre-med students to connect, share, and get coaching on their entrance exams and medical school applications.
As non-technical, female founders of a mission-driven organization, we got a lot of feedback that our idea was nice but we needed to get a technical co-founder on board to be taken seriously. What AirDev has been able to accomplish in just a week is totally astounding and fits our needs perfectly.
We helped Mon Ami launch an all-in-one community platform for associations and service providers in the Aging & Disabilities Services community.
Airdev helped our Bay Area region ditch the spreadsheet to better support our teachers. In just one month, we built a platform to fit our unique engagement and data needs and allow coaches to add and review notes on the go.
We created a membership platform for Teach For America to manage their member corps, alumni, teacher training events, and act as a social hub for their organization.
In just two weeks, Airdev created an elegantly streamlined version of our previous internal partner community platform, built on top of our Salesforce data. The result became an instant hit with our network of linguists, while dramatically reducing the time spent on ongoing maintenance.
We built a private community portal for Cadence to house and manage their global network of thousands of expert translators.
FAQ
Can I scale my Bubble-built app?
Yes. We always design apps to optimize for scale, based on our understanding of the potential features and user behavior our client envisions. The Bubble technology is built to scale, with the ability to upgrade server capacity as needed (including migrating to a dedicated AWS cluster) to service a growing user base. Bubble provides simple dashboards and notifications to track app capacity usage to help you adjust as needed.
What security features does Bubble have?
Yes. Bubble is built on Amazon Web Services (AWS), which is itself compliant with certifications such as SOC 2, CSA, ISO 27001, and more. All data behind Bubble apps is stored in the cloud using AWS and is generally hosted on AWS West Region (Oregon, US) which maintains a state-of-the-art security infrastructure. Below are more of Bubble’s security features:
How much will my no-code app cost to build?
We price our projects based on how much effort they are going to take. The key factors are how much functionality you're looking to build, how complex the functionality is, and whether you we use our design framework or implement a custom design. Feel free to reach out if you'd like to get a quote for your project, or read more about Airdev’s approach to pricing here.
Who owns the IP rights to my application?
You own the rights to your concept, your application, and all user-generated data created through the app. Airdev retains the ownership of the IP for our predesigned page and element templates that we use across multiple projects. More details on this distinction can be found in the client contract you can review before approving a build.
Is Airdev able to support and extend my application as it grows?
Yes, you can come back to us at any point after the initial build for additional work. You can request ad-hoc updates or sign up for a monthly plan, which will come with a certain amount of team capacity.
What technology will my application be built on?
We build on the latest visual programming framework, Bubble, which allows us to build incredibly quickly and flexibly with minimal technical input. This reduces the cost and headache to our clients, and increases app stability out of the gate. Bubble itself is written in CoffeeScript running on Node.js, uses Postgres databases hosted on AWS, and exposes POST or GET APIs for third-party connections. The app can be easily connected to external APIs and the app's database can be easily exported.
What are the limitations? What can you not build?
There are a few categories of tools that we can't help with:
- Fully native mobile apps (e.g. Whatsapp or Uber) - though web-based mobile apps are supported
- Existing products written in code
- Apps that need to work without an internet connection
If you're not sure whether we can do what you need, we would be happy to help you find out!
