Web apps provide users a custom, interactive experience online. Unlike native mobile apps, web apps can be accessed via any device with a browser — laptop, tablet or smart phone. They often offer all the same custom functionality needed by a business, nonprofit, or government agency, but without requiring users to download an app. In general, web apps are also significantly less expensive to develop and to maintain.
We simplify complex web applications and customize features to meet your needs so that your users can have an engaging and interactive experience with a modern and effective design.
Process
We will walk you through the entire process, from start to finish, to help you create the web app you dreamed of. We will begin with a meeting in which you tell us more about your goals, your audience, and what you want the site to do. We will help you identify features to optimize functionality even if you aren’t sure what you need.
Once we have an idea of what you want, we will begin building something. We will check in with you regularly- usually weekly- to make sure we are on the right track, and we will adapt our design based on your feedback to create the product that will best suit your needs. In general, web apps require ongoing maintenance, and we can work with you for as long as you need. Ready to get started? Fill out the form on the bottom of this page to request an estimate.
Timeframe
The timeframe all depends on how complicated and how many features your web app will include. Very basic web apps may only require 6 – 10 weeks, but more complex projects could take six months or more.
Cost
Basic web apps, with a limited set of features, often start between $15,000 to $40,000, but each site varies greatly and depends on many factors. Larger apps with more complex features may range from $40,000 to $150,000+. Code the Dream tries to make these services as affordable as possible, and particularly for nonprofit clients, we are happy to work with you to jointly identify potential funding that could cover development costs.
Examples of Code the Dream Web Apps
Vamos Outreach
app.vamosoutreach.org/
EFWM staff has really enjoyed working with Code the Dream on the development of the Vamos Outreach App. We appreciate the support and kindness of everyone involved. Since starting to use Vamos for our outreach visits to farmworkers in Eastern North Carolina, it has already increased the effectiveness of our outreach efforts. We will be using the web app to plan our outreach, and we use the mobile app to locate labor camps, track our visits and donations, and make notes about anything that needs attention. Thanks to the app our work is more efficient and productive.”
Upstate

Code the Dream has done a fantastic job building a web app that our users are using every day and are loving! I've been extremely impressed with the speed, cost, and quality with which they've built Upstate. They've also been very flexible and will pull in other developers to help when we need more development work. This has been very important for helping Upstate manage its resources and plan development time and costs. Their entire team has been so easy to work with and I look forward to continuing my work with them"
NC Fair Chance

What I loved about working with Code the Dream to develop the NC Fair Chance website is that we got a high quality, user-friendly product and excellent customer service provided by mission-driven young developers who shared our values of advancing shared prosperity. The website is changing lives, just like Code the Dream."

The Code the Dream team was exactly the developers we needed to move our idea to the next level. They are customer focused and willing to try ideas that push Software as a Service (SaaS) companies. We are proud to be their launch customer for commercial software."
Conectate Carolina

Code the Dream has developed a very much needed app for farmworkers to find resources based on their location. They are very quick to respond to questions about the app and are continuously suggesting ways to improve the user experience and are in communication with us on a fairly regular basis. The app is revolutionizing the way workers are empowered to seek resources and the way organizations can provide and give service referrals."
