Building your app on a shoestring budget? No-code and low-code app builders offer an alluring approach, but may fall short of your expectations. Great for a proof of concept, but necessary to replace in the long term.

Are you using Clutch to find a service provider? Did you know that buying a fake review on Clutch GoodFirms or Capterra starts from $20? We have seen this platform from the inside since 2018. Building our profile and reputation client by client, review by review. But we also know it's difficult to select the best company out of hundreds available and looking very similar on a first sight. To make this process simpler, we developed an honest guide on how to approach it (that does not end with “…but anyway, choose TH-EY”, promise.) Enjoy! https://lnkd.in/d4anKDGW

🌟 Takeaways from Config 2024🌟 Dylan Field kicked off Figma's Config 2024 with a refreshing perspective: removing features to simplify complexity. Especially at startups, it's easy to fall into the trap of thinking that more features make a better product. But Dylan highlighted that focusing on the essentials can lead to cleaner, more user-friendly designs. This is especially important when resources are tight and speed is crucial. At Serif Labs, I've found that a streamlined approach not only simplifies the development process but also enhances the overall user experience. By prioritizing core functionality and cutting out the excess, we create products that genuinely meet user needs and solve real problems. This approach aligns perfectly with the startup mindset. Instead of overwhelming users with options, I focus on building clear, intuitive solutions that make an impact. It’s about quality over quantity, and ensuring every feature has a purpose. Looking forward to sharing more insights from Config 2024 soon! 🚀 #Config2024 #Figma #UXDesign #ProductStrategy #Startups #Simplicity

Our team approach and broad expertise sets up success across industry verticals, PMM team sizes, and areas of need.
