Process

We believe in lean. We can help you release a minimum viable product and iteratively improve it. We deliver working software multiple times per week. This allows you to measure progress constantly, gain valuable feedback earlier, and even change requirements with minimum impact.

Design

Our apps feature beautiful design that makes your visitors take a second look, and a simple and usable interface that increases retention and delights your customers. We create responsive designs that work and look great on any device. Go ahead, resize this page or view it on a mobile phone.

Support & operations

Great performance and reliability keeps your site open for business. We provide full hosting and operations support for the apps we build. We monitor any application errors, keep you updated, and dive into the code to fix or improve it. We're happy to provide this service for existing apps too.

The technical details

We use HTML5, JavaScript, Ruby, and whatever else happens to be the right tool for the job at hand. Whether it's Ruby on Rails, Node.js, an alternative Ruby framework, or a rich client-side JavaScript framework, we can help you make the right technology decisions.

Test Driven Development: We create a suite of automated tests as part of the development process. This ensures quality at every stage and prevents new changes from introducing bugs in existing features.

DevOps: We use Amazon EC2 cloud-based hosting, and Amazon S3 for reliable, redundant data storage and backup. We use Chef to configure servers and deploy app updates in a tested and repeatable way, and several monitoring tools to make sure we know exactly what's happening with your app and the servers it runs on.

The Story

Hi, I'm Paul Dowman, the founder of OK, grow!, and I've been developing web and mobile apps since 1995. I have led software teams, built many great products, and become known and respected in both the Toronto startup and tech community and in the global Ruby community.

At OK, grow!, I have put together a great team. We've done app development and operations support for both startups and large, established companies and we would love to build and launch your new app or help with an existing project.

That's Paul
