Comprehensive web development consulting services  

Leverage our expertise to identify your business objectives and technical requirements.

Architecture consulting

We analyze the architecture of a web application to identify its possible bottlenecks and areas for improvement. By defining an architectural approach that will work best, be it monolithic, microservices, or serverless, we lay a solid foundation for the long-term growth of your product. Then we proceed with designing the system structure and defining principles of scalability, integration, and security.

Java product development

Software design & development

We’re determined to help you develop web applications that perfectly match your business goals. The design stage allows us to determine the technology stack and functional modules that will cover your requirements for performance and scalability. In the course of development, we follow required quality standards and seamlessly integrate your web application with existing systems.

UI/UX design consultation

Top-notch usability for your customers in web interfaces means increased interaction speed and conversion for your business. During consultation, we audit user scenarios and measure them against business goals. Then we propose solutions for navigation, the structure of pages, visual hierarchy, adaptability, and accessibility, based on the evaluation.

Java application modernization-3

Modernization

We audit legacy web applications to increase performance and scalability and propose possible improvement scenarios. They might include updating the technology stack, architecture, visual experience, and UX, while preserving key functionality and data.

Data security

Security & compliance audit

To make sure you don’t face a security breach, we recommend that you audit your web applications for vulnerabilities. We help businesses stay secure by evaluating their architecture reliability and data processing practices. We also advise following industry standards and regulations, such as GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS, etc., to nurture your customers’ trust. Within the audit, we assess web application code, server configuration, authentication systems, data encryption, and event logging. The result is detailed recommendations on how to secure your systems against cyber attacks.

Budget control

Project budget and timeline estimation

Budgeting the development of a web app gives you a clear understanding of the project’s costs and duration. We assist Clients with accurate evaluation of the budget and timeline by analyzing web app requirements and taking into account the complexity level of its integrations. We also assess the workload and identify potential risks that might hinder the development, causing an increase in costs. Such an evaluation allows you to efficiently plan your resources and to avoid unplanned spending.

Cloud migration

If you’d like to move your web app to the cloud, we can develop a migration strategy to such cloud infrastructure as AWS, Azure, GCP, etc. We’ll make sure your business experiences minimal downtime and help you optimize expenses and increase scalability.

Check list icon

Compliance management

We help your web apps to comply with regulators’ requirements and industry standards by developing security policies, access control, and keeping relevant documentation. For data privacy, these might include such regulations as PIPEDA and CCPA; WCAG and ADA for accessibility; PCI DSS and HIPAA for security, etc.

Process audit

A third-party audit of processes might seem to prove valuable when you stumble upon the same issues that seem to have no resolution. We’ll analyze your current processes of app development and operation to identify their inefficiencies and automation possibilities, and issue recommendations for optimization.

Code review & security assessment

Code audit

We analyze the current codebase and evaluate its efficiency, compliance with best practices, security, and performance. Then we provide you with recommendations on how to improve your code’s readability and the best ways of getting rid of technical debt. This will allow you to cut future production costs and improve user experience with your web app.

Performance optimization

Auditing and optimizing performance entails analyzing the loading speed of pages, how long a server takes to respond, the work efficiency of databases, source consumption, and the scalability of the system under load. After this, you’ll get a web app that is stable, loads quickly, increases Client satisfaction, reduces bounce rate, and drives conversion.

Troubleshooting

We go through your logs, codebase, configurations, and infrastructure to determine the point of failure. For you as a business, this means less downtime, hence less financial loss. Swift disaster recovery also means maintaining a reputation among customers and having more resources available for product development.

Our approach to web consulting

Quality and security at the top level

We uphold high-quality standards at each stage of the production. Our code goes through multi-stage testing, and, since we’re an ISO certified company, we take into account industry standards while making architectural decisions.

Realistic estimates

We provide honest timelines and budgets based on the detailed analysis of requirements and our experience implementing similar projects. This allows us to avoid unexpected expenses and not miss deadlines.

Understanding business value

Each of our decisions matches business objectives, be it the selection of architecture or the prioritization of functionality. Our goals are to increase revenue, cut unnecessary costs, increase the efficiency of the processes, and do it within a short time to market.

Services beyond advisory

If a Client requests us to go beyond consultancy, we take the project ourselves. We’re well capable of handling everything to get the project done: the implementation, integrations, support of solutions, etc.

Risk-proof project scoping

During the scoping stage, we identify potential technical and financial risks and add them to the plan. This helps minimize their impact in the course of the implementation.

Streamlined processes

We eliminate unnecessary stages and optimize the process to speed it up and make it transparent and manageable. This increases the speed of decision-making and reduces administrative expenses.

The success of a digital product starts with a well-thought-out strategy that includes clearly defined business goals, the right choice of app architecture, assessment of risks, and plans for growth. Web development consultancy is the way to avoid costly mistakes and to make sure you move in the right direction from the very start of the project.

The system has produced a significant competitive advantage in the industry thanks to SumatoSoft’s well-thought opinions.

They shouldered the burden of constantly updating a project management tool with a high level of detail and were committed to producing the best possible solution.

I was impressed by SumatoSoft’s prices, especially for the project I wanted to do and in comparison to the quotes I received from a lot of other companies.

Also, their communication skills were great; it never felt like a long-distance project. It felt like SumatoSoft was working next door because their project manager was always keeping me updated. Initially.

We tried another company that one of our partners had used but they didn’t work out. I feel that SumatoSoft does a better investigation of what we’re asking for. They tell us how they plan to do a task and ask if that works for us. We chose them because their method worked with us.

SumatoSoft is great in every regard including costs, professionalism, transparency, and willingness to guide. I think they were great advisors early on when we weren’t ready with a fully fleshed idea that could go to market.

They know the business and startup scene as well globally.

SumatoSoft is the firm to work with if you want to keep up to high standards. The professional workflows they stick to result in exceptional quality.

Important, they help you think with the business logic of your application and they don’t blindly follow what you are saying. Which is super important. Overall, great skills, good communication, and happy with the results so far.

Together with the team, we have turned the MVP version of the service into a modern full-featured platform for online marketers. We are very satisfied with the work the SumatoSoft team has performed, and we would like to highlight the high level of technical expertise, coherence and efficiency of communication and flexibility in work.

We can say with confidence that SumatoSoft has realized all our ideas into practice.

We are absolutely convinced that cooperation between companies is only successful when based on effective teamwork (and Captain Obvious is on our side!). But the teams may vary on the degree of their cohesion.

They are very sharp and have a high-quality team. I expect quality from people, and they have the kind of team I can work with. They were upfront about everything that needed to be done.

I appreciated that the cost of the project turned out to be smaller than what we expected because they made some very good suggestions. They are very pleasant to work with.

The Rivalfox had the pleasure to work with SumatoSoft in building out core portions of our product, and the results really couldn’t have been better.

SumatoSoft provided us with engineering expertise, enthusiasm and great people that were focused on creating quality features quickly.

Thanks to SumatoSoft can-do attitude, amazing work ethic and willingness to tackle client’s problems as their own, they’ve become an integral part of our team. We’ve been truly impressed with their professionalism and performance and continue to work with a team on developing new applications.

We are completely satisfied with the results of our cooperation and will be happy to recommend SumatoSoft as a reliable and competent partner for development of web-based solutions

SumatoSoft succeeded in building a more manageable solution that is much easier to maintain.

  • Understanding business value
    We care about how the code works for your goals, be it revenue increase, cost reduction, customer engagement boost, or nurturing customer loyalty.

When businesses need web development consulting services

Benefit from our expert guidance to solve your complex challenges.

Outdated web application

The case of web apps with legacy code, outdated UIs, and a lack of compliance with security and performance standards is solvable through consulting services. We’ll assist you with mapping a plan for modernization and implementation of innovative solutions without disruption of operations.

Low app performance

Excessive loading time and unstable performance under load lead to losing customers. Consulting in such cases includes a performance audit and actionable insights on how to optimize infrastructure and the codebase to reduce the bounce rate.

Poor UX & engagement

Complicated navigation and cluttered UI reduce conversion and loyalty of web app users. We analyze user interfaces and experiences and propose improvements to increase usability and users’ engagement rate.

Security vulnerabilities

Inadequate data security and non-compliance with regulations increase the probability of cyber threats and regulators’ fines. Consulting helps identify weak spots in your security and eliminate them by setting up protection and monitoring compliance with standards.

Integrations

A business needs a well-thought-out integration architecture to be able to connect a web application to CRM, ERP, payment systems, and third-party APIs. We develop an integration strategy to ensure stable data exchange and seamless operation of all systems.

Scalability issues

If your application doesn’t efficiently handle the growing number of users, requests, data volume, and expanding functionality, consulting will help by adapting its architecture and infrastructure. Thus, you’ll be able to scale operations without hindering web app performance.

Post-launch issues

If you’ve encountered bugs, failures, disruption of your operations, or dissatisfaction of users after a product launch, we can urgently identify and eliminate the issues causing them. After stabilizing the web app, we’ll come up with a plan for further development to make sure the issues don’t persist and hinder your business growth.

Internationalization

Entering new markets requires support for multiple languages, currencies, date and time formats, and compliance with local requirements. In the course of the consulting services, we develop an internationalization strategy to ensure that the product is convenient and correct for users from target markets.
