Welcome to Smart APPS

Our goal is to create usable applications that actually meet your needs. Combined we have years of experience in business analysis and application design and apply this experience to ensure that our projects run smoothly and to budget. See examples.

How we work

Developing an application is a creative process where ideas are encouraged and knowledge is shared. We really love developing applications and this creativity, passion and enthusiasm shows in everything that we produce.

Application development is a two way process between SmartApps and you the client. Our job is to get a good understanding of your needs and to then develop a solution that meets those objectives. We also understand that you can't allocate endless time to this process and so our approach is to get started as soon as possible providing prototypes and feedback as often as possible.

What we work on

We work on everything from spreadsheets and small databases right up to tiered web applications. These days we are concentrating more on browser and web-based applications as this allows for a zero-client footprint. Browser based apps can also be developed with much richer features and are easily hosted. We have experience in case management, grant management, content management and customer relationship management and are always on the lookout for another exciting project.

The user experience

Aside from understanding your information we also have a keen interest in the end user experience. This is critical since your users and staff will determine how successful an application is. We like to ask ourselves the following questions as we design an application. 

  • Is the user interface easy to navigate ?
  • Is there just enough information presented ?
  • Is the information presented in the right context at the right time ?
  • Can the user see where to go for additional information ?
  • Is there are a good visual balance between graphical elements ?
  • Are the user controls consistent ?

This stuff is important to us because it is important to your application.

We look forward to working with you.
