Services

We work with you to build custom software and web applications.

  1. Product Management

    Product management is all about deciding what to build, and when to build it. We'll help you decide what's important and what's not and prioritize the features that will make the most impact in your product.

  2. Software Development

    Our developers balance strong software engineering principles with our clients' needs to deliver stable, powerful, and viable software. Everything from using modern languages and frameworks, to best practices around source control and deployment, we'll build a solution that suits you perfectly.

  3. UX/UI Design

    Whether it be a 5-minute conversation or full-blown prototypes, taking some time to think about how your users will interact with your app can make a big difference. We'll work with you to design the best user experience for your customers.

Common projects

Web Apps

Our specialty is full-stack web applications. So whether you're trying to build the next AirBnb or Twitter, or you're looking to improve your business with productivity tools, we can build a web application that starts as an MVP and scales with your success.

Mobile Apps

Mobile has become such an important platform and providing your users with a mobile option can mean the difference between your idea being a success or not. We use Expo and React-Native to allow for efficient development of iOS and Android Apps with rich user experiences.

Marketing Websites

A lot of our biggest web applications start out as marketing websites. If you need a simple online presence to promote your business that can grow with you, we're the right shop for you.

Tools we use

Who we work with: it could be you!

When it comes down to it, custom software simply means software that was built specifically for you. That covers a huge area and a lot of times our customers wonder if their project is suitable for us. While we recommend you come in and chat with us to see if your project is a fit, we are always excited to work with clients to solve their unique problems.

Frequently asked questions

How do you charge and how much do you charge?

We are a time-based billing company which basically means we charge you per hour that we work on your project. Although this changes from time to time, our current rate is $200.00/hour + applicable taxes. We typically work on your project and send you a bill at the end of the month.

I don't have a lot of budget, will you take my project on?

While there are a lot of factors that determine whether we will take a project on or not, low budget projects are not typically something we shy away from. Yes we do recommend having a good starting budget, but that being said we charge per hour and we will try to make something work with the budget you have. Come talk to us - don't worry, you won't offend us. We've taken on projects as low as $500.00 to as high as hundreds of thousands of dollars.

I know you charge per hour, but how much does it cost to develop a web application or a mobile application?

It's a great question. As mentioned projects vary in cost by quite a bit depending on a lot of factors. For new projects, we like to start small with a minimum viable product - a simple, small version of what you're envisioning and build up from there incrementally. So how much would an MVP cost? Well that also depends on a lot of factors but for web applications, we say $5,000.00 to $10,000.00 is a good starting budget and for mobile applications, $10,000.00 to $15,000.00 is a good starting budget. Scared you don't have that much money? Not a problem, come and talk to us anyway. You might be surprised how far your money will go.

Do you do Mobile Application Development? What about Web Design and Development?

Yes we do! We call ourselves a "Custom Software" company because our skills span across multiple platforms. We can develop desktop applications, mobile applications, and web applications.

How concrete should my project be when I come and talk to BiteSite?

To be honest, it doesn't really matter. As long as you know that you have a problem that you want to solve and you think software might be a good route to solve it, come and talk to us. We'll help you decide before you sign anything whether we'd be a good fit and what the solution could look like. A lot of the times we'll even recommend better solutions than working with us.

Do you only take customers in Ottawa, Canada?

No. In fact some of our biggest customers are not in the Ottawa area. The type of software that we build is very conducive to working remotely.

How often do I have to meet with BiteSite during my project?

This is something we determine based on the project. Our biggest clients typically have a standing meeting once every week. Our smaller clients typically meet with us on an on-demand basis.
