How to work with DreamWalk
There are a number of ways a business or startup can engage with DreamWalk.
Flat-fee Agile
For ultimate flexibility as well as predictable cost. Pay a simple monthly flat-fee for design and development. Due to an outstanding level of success and customer satisfaction using Flat-fee Agile, it is now our preferred engagement model.
Fixed-scope Project
Due to the inflexibility of a fixed-price, fixed-scope engagement, we will only suggest it for projects with budgets large enough to accommodate potential scope changes and detailed functional specification documentation.
No-code Project
The fastest and most cost-effective way to get your app idea onto the App Store. For startups with simple ideas they want to validate with a basic proof of concept app, no-code and low-code is the way to go.
High-fidelity Prototyping
Pitching your concept to investors or just want to know what the app could look like before committing to development? A high-fidelity prototype isn't an app but it looks and feels just like one.
