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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.

Why SumatoSoft’s web development consulting services
- Transparency
We keep Clients in the loop throughout the entirety of our project with them. They see our progress and metrics in real time. Our processes are completely transparent. - Full-cycle development
Our projects are not passed from hand to hand. We assign a fixed team that works on a project from an idea to support after the release. Such a policy ensures that the team always stays on top of the project and doesn’t lose its context. - Ease of communication
We minimize bureaucracy and simplify processes. Direct access to developers and managers, clear reports, prompt feedback, and openness to changes make working with us straightforward and efficient. - Proactivity
Our motto is to prevent issues from happening rather than waiting. And when we receive a request, we always suggest multiple ways to fulfill it: how to do it better, faster, or cheaper without losing quality. - 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. - Collaboration, not competition
We don’t compete with internal teams, but strengthen them. We set up processes so that joint work proceeds without conflicts and duplication of efforts.
