WADE
Services

Four practices,one team,shipped together.

We work across the full lifecycle of a digital product — strategy, design, engineering, and the quality work that makes it land. Engage us for one, or put us on the whole thing.

  • 01

    Software Development

    Scalable web & mobile products built to last.

    We build production software with the same care that goes into the design — typed end-to-end, tested by default, and shipped on infrastructure we trust. Most of our work lives in Next.js on the front-end and a managed Postgres on the back, but we'll pick the right tool for the job rather than fit the job to the tool.

    Deliverables
    • Web applications (Next.js / Remix)
    • Mobile apps (React Native)
    • API design & integration
    • Infrastructure & DevOps
    • Performance optimization
    • Ongoing maintenance
    How we work
    1. 01
      Discovery
      Audit, scope, and architecture decisions before a line of code.
    2. 02
      Build
      Two-week sprints with demos, shipped to staging continuously.
    3. 03
      Harden
      Test coverage, performance budgets, accessibility pass.
    4. 04
      Launch
      Production deploy, monitoring, and a 30-day post-launch window.

    Product Design

    Interfaces that feel effortless and look sharp.

    Good product design disappears. We design interfaces that feel obvious in hindsight — the kind where you don't notice the typography, the spacing, or the microcopy because they're all working together. Our process starts with the user's job-to-be-done and ends with a design system your team can extend without us.

    Deliverables
    • UX research & journey mapping
    • Interface design (Figma)
    • Design systems
    • Prototyping & validation
    • Motion & interaction design
    • Handoff & documentation
    How we work
    1. 01
      Research
      Stakeholder interviews, competitive audit, and a clear point of view.
    2. 02
      Concept
      Low-fi explorations, then a single direction we believe in.
    3. 03
      Refine
      Hi-fi design, prototypes, usability rounds.
    4. 04
      Systematize
      Components, tokens, and docs your team owns.

    Quality Assurance

    Rigorous testing for flawless, confident releases.

    We treat QA as a design discipline, not a checklist. Our team writes the test plan alongside the feature spec, automates the repetitive stuff, and runs exploratory sessions on every release. The goal isn't 100% coverage — it's confidence that what you're shipping matches what you designed.

    Deliverables
    • Test strategy & planning
    • Automated test suites (Playwright / Vitest)
    • Manual & exploratory testing
    • Cross-browser & device coverage
    • Accessibility audits (WCAG 2.2)
    • Release readiness reports
    How we work
    1. 01
      Strategy
      Risk-based test plan tied to product priorities.
    2. 02
      Automate
      Critical paths covered in code, run on every PR.
    3. 03
      Explore
      Charter-based exploratory sessions before each release.
    4. 04
      Certify
      Release readiness report with known issues and mitigations.

    Consulting

    Strategy and direction for ambitious teams.

    Sometimes you don't need more hands — you need a clearer head. We work with founding teams and product leaders on the questions that don't have a Jira ticket: what to build next, when to refactor vs. rewrite, how to hire your first designer. Engagements are short, focused, and end with a decision.

    Deliverables
    • Product strategy sprints
    • Technical due diligence
    • Team structure & hiring plans
    • Design org maturity audits
    • Roadmap facilitation
    • Advisor relationships
    How we work
    1. 01
      Frame
      We help you articulate the actual question, not just the symptom.
    2. 02
      Investigate
      Stakeholder interviews, data review, and outside-in research.
    3. 03
      Decide
      A written recommendation with trade-offs made explicit.
    4. 04
      Support
      Async availability for 30 days while you execute.

How to engage

Three ways towork with us.

Project

01

Fixed scope, fixed timeline, fixed price. Best when you know what you're building.

Retainer

02

A weekly chunk of our time, month to month. Best for ongoing product work.

Sprint

03

A focused two-week engagement to unblock a specific decision or prototype.
