Idea Maker has years of experience designing and developing custom software that helps organizations streamline operations, boost productivity, and drive sustainable growth. Our expert teams design, develop, and deliver solutions tailored to your unique workflow challenges and objectives across a spectrum of platforms.
Enterprise Software Development Services
Our enterprise software development services create large-scale, complex business applications aligning with your organizational operations. Through discovery sessions, we comprehend pain points and system requirements before launching agile development of robust, scalable, and fully custom programs. Our custom software features capabilities such as automated workflows, real-time analytics, inventory management, and future growth support.
Software Product Development Services
Our software product development services help companies fully conceptualize, architect, engineer, and launch customer-focused software products. Our team handles the full cycle from pricing model alignment, beta testing, gathering user feedback, and agile building of right-fit features, to multi-channel marketing assets for successful product rollout. We become trusted partners invested in shaping game-changing products from initial vision to post-launch enhancement.
Software Integration Services
Siloed systems and disjointed workflows create bottlenecks and can result in disconnected processes between departments, scattered data sources, and critical information getting lost in translation. Our specialized integration services facilitate communication between disparate platforms through custom API development, database consolidation, CRM and ERP integrations, eCommerce connections, and more. This ensures uniform data flow and workflows.
Custom CRM Development Services
Rigid, one-size-fits-all CRM platforms fail to adapt to the nuances of your customer engagement processes resulting in scattered data, disjointed workflows, and a fragmented view of the customer journey. By deeply understanding your customer lifecycle and objectives, we design fully custom CRM systems. Our solutions use tailored tools like customized objects, advanced analytics, automated workflows triggered by data changes, and integrations synchronizing data across databases to facilitate increased retention and loyalty.
API Development Services
APIs allow software programs to communicate with each other, facilitating real-time data transmission and expanding capabilities. We engineer customized APIs aligned to your integration requirements that enable real-time data transmission between programs, support omnichannel delivery, underpin complex platforms, and speed development cycles through efficient coding connections. The result is seamless interoperability facilitating scalability.
Database Development
Our database development services build custom databases optimized for complex data workflows. We architect NoSQL and SQL databases and then develop customizable schemas, tables, and queries tailored to your analytics, reporting, and business intelligence needs. The result is fully customized data environments boosting insights via robust capturing, processing, and utility of mission-critical information.
SaaS Development
Our SaaS development services engineer customizable software-as-a-service solutions tailored to your service offerings and subscription models. We handle full-cycle development from mapping complex workflows to building multi-tenant architectures supporting scalability. The result is purpose-built SaaS products enriched with your unique capabilities and aligned to deliver exceptional user experiences driving customer conversion and retention.

Custom Software Development Process
We adhere to a comprehensive development methodology enabling our team to deliver custom-built software that meets each client’s unique requirements and objectives. Our refined process ensures maximum quality and value at each phase.
Initial Consultation and Requirements Gathering
We initiate every project by first consulting directly with all key stakeholders, taking the time to completely understand your existing systems, workflows, challenges, constraints, and goals. Our team works with you in extensive discovery sessions and workshops to gather expansive specifics that allow us to craft tailored software aligned to how your teams operate day-to-day. Defining comprehensive specifications upfront is crucial.
Design Architecture, User Journeys, and Wireframing
Next, our design team architects the software’s underlying system framework centered around your infrastructure needs and scalability targets. We craft detailed site maps and intuitive user journey flows based on persona types and usage scenarios. Our UX experts then translate journeys into descriptive gray-scale wireframes visually. We outline each interface page and interactivity points free from style embellishments. Wireframes enable quickly iterating structure and layout based on feedback.
Interactive Prototyping
We bring wireframes to life in interactive prototypes featuring realistic form, functionality, and navigation built with cutting-edge tools. Clickable prototypes effectively demonstrate proposed features and system flow for enhanced visualization and user testing before full development work begins. We can quickly modify prototypes based on feedback, saving substantial development time later down the line.
Visual and Branding Design
Our design team evolves prototypes into completely designed visual interfaces reflecting target branding elements. We assign color schemes, typography, graphics, iconography, and other stylistic flourishes for highly polished results. We evolve prototypes into completely branded interfaces that maintain consistent messaging and user experience across touchpoints. These comprehensive creative direction packages inform development.
Custom Programming and Engineering
Our expert programming teams develop custom-coded software based on the agreed-upon outline to build a platform that meets your exact requirements. We integrate with essential databases while ensuring air-tight security protocols are followed through access controls, encryption, and testing procedures. Our optimized code base ensures maximum performance critical for complex programs and high traffic volumes.
Quality Assurance and Application Testing
Idea Maker rigorously tests software both locally using unit testing and in staging environments mirroring real-world conditions. Our QA professionals perform integrative tests, monitor capability thresholds, identify bugs, remedy flaws in functionality, and analyze performance metrics. We use automated monitoring tools and recommend application improvements before public launch.
Deployment and Integration
When ready, we oversee secure deployment across selected delivery methods. Whether installed directly on existing infrastructure or hosted remotely through cloud platforms we ensure there is no downtime for existing systems. Our technical teams also work closely on API and other integrations between new and legacy programs enabling enterprise-wise connectivity.
Ongoing Maintenance and Support
Even after launch, we continue to provide assistance, implement support systems, make live updates as needed, and assist with user onboarding to help guarantee you receive continual value from your software investment. We become a trusted long-term partner to maintain the success of your application.

Jay Mali
VP of Operation, Mixed-Signal Devices
Idea Maker is distinguished for their personalized collaboration and white glove services. The team is dependable and reliable, sticking to the project's plan, offering feedback, and pushing back on the right things.
Brennan Lodge
Founder, BLodgic LLC
The way they understand the requirements we present to them is fairly solid. Both in terms of bringing their own interpretation in nailing the requirements and their design sense. By the time we launched, I had gotten significantly more value from our collaboration than what we had discussed in the original specs.
John Larkin
CEO, Advance CPE
This is a boutique development firm where the Founder is directly involved with the project and the primary contact. This is unlike many development firms where you are simply handed off to developers that are not stakeholders. This is an important distinction that results in much better project accountability.
Ryan Beachum
Founder & CEO, HelloVacay
I have never had a site like this built before. I felt that Idea Maker and Tom had built numerous sites like this, and they were pros.
JR Krebs
Project Lead, Legal Company
Idea Maker's portfolio is what drew us in. Their design style was in alignment with what we were after. We had initial consultations with 3 companies that we had narrowed it down to. Once we had our initial meeting with Tom at Idea Maker we knew we had the right choice to make. Their communication style works well for us.
Oscar Martinez
Project Manager, Apricot Studio
Their customer service is excellent — they’re incredibly accessible and available, which I appreciate. Furthermore, they have enough experience and bandwidth to fulfill all my needs. They’re one of the best vendors I’ve worked with.

Let's Talk About Your Project!
Tom Kwon
CEO & Chief Sales Officer
If you’re interested in discussing how we can collaborate to meet your goals and overcome challenges – whether on the technical side or the business side – I’m just a message away. Let’s dive into a conversation!
How much does it cost to develop a custom software?
It depends on the type and scope of the project. For instance, WordPress websites can be built with a few thousand dollars. Meanwhile, the price of custom mobile apps varies a lot depending on extras like HIPAA security, FinTech systems, and Encryption.
How do you handle custom software support, product go-live, and post-go-live support?
At Idea Maker, we take pride in our excellent customer support. We fully intend to support you after your app is developed, as we have with several clients before. We want to grow with you by providing maintenance, enhancements, bug fixes, and updates as part of our post-production support.
What kind of customized software services do you provide?
We work with a wide range of services. For instance, we can build either custom or straightforward WordPress websites with extensive functionality, custom-coded web apps, SaaS apps, custom-made mobile apps, and more.
Where can I read testimonials and reviews from your previous clients on custom software development?
You can check the testimonials area on our website. We embed customer reviews from Clutch, all of which are verified by a third party. You can also find customer opinions about Idea Maker on our Upwork page or Google Reviews. We’ll be glad to provide more references if you need them.
Can you provide my clients and staff members with proper documentation?
Yes, every Idea Maker project is thoroughly detailed and documented. All you need to do is inform us what kind of documentation is required, and we’ll provide it. We can also provide instructions in video format for your employees if needed.
Will your software comply with my strict standards and security policy?
Yes, we can make every necessary change and enhancement to adhere to all security needs and guidelines.
How do you ensure project confidentiality? Who owns the software that you make?
A non-disclosure agreement guarantees project confidentiality we’ll sign with our client. The paying customer keeps full ownership of the project, except when we use proprietary libraries made by Idea Maker. In that case, we maintain ownership of said libraries.
What are the average hourly rates for your developers and specialists?
We use a blended rate of $85/hr regardless of the service provided or the professional you’re working with. Meaning you can work with a UI/UX, backend, or mobile dev and expect to pay the same hourly rate.
Can you guarantee project success and deployment?
We cannot guarantee the success of your project. Project success depends on the marketing efforts and the project itself. However, we can guarantee to deliver a high-quality product with an optimized codebase, instructions and host it on a server of your choice. Additionally, we offer full customer support post-development.
What are the modes of communication that you use?
We primarily operate through email. We’ll also provide you with weekly project reports. If needed, we can open up chat communication or video conferencing.
How much will I need to be involved in the project?
Your degree of involvement depends on your own interests. We can handle the entirety of the project and deliver a functional product to the client. However, we require that you review and sign wireframes and mockups before proceeding to ensure we agree on the project’s scope and direction. Aside from that, you don’t need to be directly involved.
What recent projects have you done involving custom software development?
You can head over to the “Portfolio” page on our website, where we list all released projects we have worked on before. There you can find a wide range of projects such as iOS, Android, SaaS, and web development.
