Essential Designs

Essential Designs is a custom software development agency that has operated in Canada since 2008. We are an agile development house, able to create applications of any complexity with a focus on building custom data-driven applications. The custom business systems we build are for customers in a multitude of industries, and we have built 100s of applications since the start of the company – at any given time we will have 5 – 10 projects on our bench.

We have 16 full-time developers on our development team, 2 full-time UI/UX designers, 3 Project Managers, dedicated QA, dedicated IT, and a marketing/sales team. Some of our competitors tend to focus on simplified website projects and take on applications from time to time. We focus solely on advanced application building, so you can be confident that we have the ability and the experience to finish the project on time and that it will be coded correctly.

Essential Designs focuses on senior-level developers with 5+ years’ experience, enabling us to handle complex application coding. The team members working on your project will always be working solely on this project each day, not balancing multiple projects.

Essential Designs provides a project manager for all jobs, to interface between the client and the developer. Reports are always provided during development, showing the specifics of what is being worked on during the project. The project manager is available to discuss the project or changes to direction at any time. Our development team is also structured to have team leads and a development director working with the individual developers. These layers of management help developers problem-solve much faster than in a traditional development environment.
