“Just fixing it” is hardly ever as simple as it sounds. Bad code from a cheap team = starting over.

Your product shouldn’t limp across the line to launch. It should feel absolutely bulletproof.

Best practices are helpful, but they’re not set in stone. Between the boundaries of best practices, there’s plenty of room to be creative and weird.

Let’s talk about going viral — what it is, what it should be, and how it all comes down to the user experience.

When you choose to build your app fast over building it right, technical debt is the price you pay — and it'll come back to haunt you.

Good Quality Assurance can be a life-saver for your project, but if you’re a non-technical person, you may have never even heard of QA in software development.

QA teams are the unsung heroes of the development cycle — and an absolute must when choosing an app development partner.

Apps ask for so much information before users even see what they’re getting. The data you request must make sense in the context of the experience the app provides.

Now that the NFT fad is mostly over, can we talk about Web3 for real? I, for one, am very excited about it, especially in light of the total game-changer that is AI.

Let’s face it, the market is not used to paying for apps. We’ll talk about the possibilities of paywalls, and how to build an app worth buying in the first place.

Code quality determines how smoothly your app runs, how far it can go, and how good that process feels.

Beware the Founder’s Flaw: where every detail seems all-important, skewing your sense of priority and proportion. To stay on track, keep these thoughts in mind.

2022 was a rough year following a few rough years. COVID happened, my died passed unexpectedly while I was six month’s pregnant, and Russia invaded Ukraine, where WLCM’s team was based. A lot of things shifted, chief among them my worldview, and not for the better. I started getting scared.

My five-year-old son is at summer camp on the beach. On the first week, the kids took swim tests to determine if they needed to wear a swim vest in the water. My son came out on the side of... swim vest. The next week, he asked the counselors if he could try again.

When it comes to the code under the surface of your app, simplicity scales! Clean architecture structures the components of your app in a way that wastes fewer resources, simplifies maintenance, and costs less.

Code quality is the unsung hero of a functional, scalable, cost-efficient app. Can AI help produce higher-quality code? Like almost everything AI, the answer is Yes*.

After Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24, 2022, Lindsey Witmer Collins knew she had to act fast: All but two of her employees lived in the country, the majority working from an office in the western city of Lviv. A few weeks later, many of WLCM's employees got to work again, relishing a sense of normalcy, she told Inc. in March 2022. But it wasn't business as usual, in any sense. Here, she shares what happened in the months that followed.

3rd annual list recognizes 241 private companies putting purpose ahead of profit. WLCM has been named to the Inc. 2022 Best in Business list in the Software Development category. Inc.’s Best in Business Awards honor companies that have made an extraordinary impact in their fields and on society

WLCM was named #50 on the Fast 100, the SF Business Times' list of the fastest growing private companies in SF. The timing of these awards (this and Inc.'s equivalent list, to which we were named in March of this year) is interesting for us, because it's happening as virtually our entire team becomes refugees.

WLCM is more than a dev shop. We're long-term creative, strategic, and technical product partners. We provided software strategy, experience design, and development to venture-backed startups and established companies that need the highest-quality execution and true partnership. Today, we got word that we are one of the most reviewed global application management firms on The Manifest.
