"Yes, the bar is high for apps these days, but you’ve got to focus on solving one problem first and THEN you can consider taking other verticals on your product."

"The key to marketing? If you're building a software company and you're not thinking about how the product can ultimately sell itself, then you're not going to be able to compete."

a Lot MORE THAN JUST GREAT CODE

More than just code—we’ll help you design, test, prototype, build and launch your app idea.

We love building features that build great apps and businesses.

We specialize in “general” app development and we love apps that connect common features for new, unique, and innovative use cases.

Hear anne's story:

“I was realizing that my vision was this small, and it needed to be THAT big.”

Anne Craig saw the difference in working with us in her first meeting where we ran her idea through our design thinking workshop.

You can go anywhere and find a developer who will just do what you tell them to do…

We’ll actually collaborate with you to turn your idea into the biggest, baddest, version you can possibly create.

Our process turns ideas into finished apps. We can handle the strategy, design, testing, development, and launch for you.

Discovery Workshops & Documentation

Through a series of workshops and creating charts & documentation around your ideas, we’ll get super clear about the goals of your app. We’ll map the short-term, long-term, and moonshot ideas and map out a path for where you’re headed.

Wireframing & Data Mapping

If you were building a house you’d start with a blueprint. Since you’re building an app, we’ll start with a “low-fidelity” wireframe. This is where our notes, thoughts, and strategy start taking shape into screens so we can see how your app feels in each different view.

High-Fidelity Design & Prototype

Now it’s time for design thinking and “user experience” get matched up with a beautiful “user interface.” Our clients love this phase because the designs match the ACTUAL look and feel of their dream app. You’ll be able to show it to clients, partners, and potential customers.

Development Roadmap

Every app development project has some type of budget constraint and our big hopes, dreams, and wishes need to be broken into phases so we can actually get something to market. In this phase, we’ll map out your big “functions” or processes into chunks and give our development recommendations so you know exactly what lays ahead.

Bi-Weekly Sprints & Feature Releases

Ok, now it’s time to build! When we get to the development phase, it’s important to know that we’ll be making DAILY progress. Every other week we’ll have something cool to show you so you can see your dream turn into reality.

OUR CLIENTS LOVE THE SHIT OUT OF US, but more importantly,

We'll build an app your customers will love!

I'm not tech savvy at all and I now own a popular iPhone app!

“When I was first building my app my developer left me high and dry. I found Austin and he brought my app across the finish line. Thank you!”

– The Daily Shifts

I have incredibly high standards when it comes to developers...

“I have a programming background but had no idea how build our app in Swift for the iPhone. Strides has been an amazing extension of our team!”

– Utah Pet Access

Amazing in helping me get my app off the ground!

“Strides has been incredibly transparent with how the process works, and what my best options are for building the features I want.”

– EquineTrader

Hey! I'm Austin Betzer.

‍Founders and developers essentially speak different languages… Which makes it REALLY hard for founders to get the right people on board their project in a meaningful way.
‍
I started Strides so that founders and developers could work hand-in-hand — towards the same goals and get way more done in way less time.

"Strides helped me build a high-fidelity prototype of my app idea, and I used that PROTOTYPE to go land new customers and a handful of deals... before we even began development. These guys are good."

"I am a HIGHLY skeptical person so it's really hard to impress me... I have to say after the first design strategy call I was like... 'OH. That's why they are so good at what they do.'"
