Clients can check real products before engaging. ### End-to-End Ownership One team handles everything — product strategy, UX research, UI design, frontend and backend development, QA, App Store submission, cloud infrastructure, and post-launch maintenance. No handoffs between separate design, dev, and ops teams. ### Cross-Platform Efficiency Meliora builds iOS + Android apps from a single React Native codebase, reducing development time by ~40% compared to maintaining two native apps. Multiple shipped products prove this approach works at scale (DrivePrep UK: 500K+ downloads across both platforms). ### Eastern European Quality, Competitive Pricing Based in Moldova, Meliora delivers Western-quality software at rates 40–60% lower than agencies in the US, UK, or Western Europe. The team is fluent in English and operates across time zones with US, UK, and EU clients. ### Long-Term Partnerships Most clients are repeat customers. Meliora doesn't disappear after launch — ongoing maintenance, feature development, and scaling support are standard. ### Transparent Process Weekly demo calls with working software, shared project boards, dedicated Slack/Teams channels, and daily async updates. Clients always know the project status. --- ## Services ### Web Application Development Full-stack web application development using React, Next.js, TypeScript, and Node.js.

A simple landing page starts around $500–$2,000, a standard mobile app ranges from $5,000–$25,000, and complex enterprise platforms can exceed $50,000. Free project estimator available at https://meliorapps.org/en/get-started — no commitment required. **How long does it take to develop a mobile app or web application?** A typical MVP takes 8–12 weeks from kickoff to launch. Simple landing pages can be delivered in 1–2 weeks. Full-featured applications with custom backends, integrations, and multiple platforms usually take 3–6 months. Weekly sprints ensure continuous visible progress. **Do you build apps for both iOS and Android?** Yes. React Native and Expo enable cross-platform development from a single codebase that runs natively on both iOS and Android. This reduces development time and cost by ~40% compared to building two separate native apps. DrivePrep UK (500K+ downloads) proves this approach works at scale. **What technologies do you specialize in?** Primary stack: React and Next.js for web, React Native for mobile, Node.js and Python for backends, PostgreSQL and MongoDB for databases. Deployed on AWS, Google Cloud, and Vercel. For AI: OpenAI, LangChain, and custom ML models. Technology choices are driven by project requirements. **Can you work with our existing development team or codebase?** Yes. Meliora regularly integrates with client teams as an engineering extension. The team follows your coding standards, uses your tools (Jira, Linear, GitHub, GitLab), and participates in sprint ceremonies. Legacy codebase modernization is also available. **Where is the team located?** Chisinau, Moldova (Eastern Europe, GMT+2). The team has delivered software worldwide since 2020, working across time zones with clients in the US, UK, Western Europe, and the Middle East. Moldova-based rates are 40–60% lower than Western European or US agencies. **Do you provide post-launch support and maintenance?** Yes. Ongoing maintenance packages include bug fixes, security updates, performance monitoring, server management, and feature enhancements. Most clients continue working with Meliora after launch. Emergency support response time: under 4 hours during business hours. **How do you handle project communication?** Weekly demo calls with working software, shared project boards (Jira, Linear, or Notion), dedicated Slack or Teams channel with the development team, and daily async updates. Full transparency on status, timeline, and next steps. --- ## How to Start a Project 1. **Free consultation:** Visit https://meliorapps.org/en/get-started or email services@meliorapps.org 2. **Phone:** +373 (78) 717 383 3. **Response time:** Under 4 hours during business hours, under 24 hours average 4. **Kickoff:** Projects typically start within one week of agreement --- ## All Website Pages - https://meliorapps.org/en — Homepage - https://meliorapps.org/en/services — All Services - https://meliorapps.org/en/services/web-applications — Web Application Development - https://meliorapps.org/en/services/mobile-development — Mobile App Development - https://meliorapps.org/en/services/ux-ui-design — UX/UI Design Services - https://meliorapps.org/en/services/custom-software — Custom Software Development - https://meliorapps.org/en/services/cloud-solutions — Cloud Solutions - https://meliorapps.org/en/services/ai-integration — AI Integration Services - https://meliorapps.org/en/about — About the Team - https://meliorapps.org/en/contact — Contact - https://meliorapps.org/en/get-started — Start a Project (Free Estimate) - https://meliorapps.org/en/privacy-policy — Privacy Policy - https://meliorapps.org/en/terms-of-service — Terms of Service Also available in Romanian (/ro) and Russian (/ru).
