Common Questions
What does The Bad Lemon specialize in?
The Bad Lemon specializes in app development, SaaS platform development, and UX design. We build digital products that users genuinely love using, focusing on smooth onboarding, intuitive flows, and zero friction experiences.
How much does app development cost with The Bad Lemon?
Our app development projects typically range from $10,000 for simple mobile apps to $250,000 for complex SaaS platforms. The final cost depends on complexity, features, and timeline. We always provide transparent pricing after understanding your specific requirements.
How long does it take to build a SaaS platform?
SaaS platform development typically takes 8-16 weeks for an MVP, and 4-8 months for a full-featured platform. Timeline depends on complexity, integrations needed, and scope. We break projects into phases so you can launch faster and iterate based on user feedback.
What technologies does The Bad Lemon use?
We use modern, battle-tested technologies: React and Next.js for frontend, Node.js and Python for backend, TypeScript for type safety, Swift and Kotlin for native mobile apps, and cloud platforms like AWS and Vercel. We choose the right tech stack for your specific needs, not just what's trendy.
Do you work with startups or only established companies?
We work with both! Our clients range from pre-seed startups building their first MVP to established enterprises like Amazon and Pizza Express. We adapt our approach based on your stage - whether you need rapid prototyping or enterprise-grade architecture.
Who are The Bad Lemon's clients?
We work with brands like Amazon, Framer, Memrise, Pizza Express, Dentsu, and many other forward-thinking companies. Our clients include SaaS startups, EdTech platforms, FinTech companies, e-commerce brands, and healthcare innovators across EU, UK, and USA.
What makes The Bad Lemon different from other development agencies?
We're rebellious enough to challenge bad ideas and talented enough to build great ones. We focus on research-backed decisions rather than guesswork, write clean code with scalable architecture that won't create technical debt, and build products users actually want to use again.
Should I choose The Bad Lemon vs freelancers vs in-house development?
Choose The Bad Lemon over freelancers when you need a complete team with proven processes, quality assurance, and reliable delivery. Choose us over in-house when you want immediate expertise without hiring overhead, or need specialized skills for a specific project. We provide agency expertise with boutique attention to detail.
What is The Bad Lemon's development process and methodology?
We follow an agile methodology with these phases: Discovery & Strategy (user research, competitive analysis, technical planning), Design & Prototyping (wireframes, UI design, user testing), Development (iterative builds, code reviews, testing), and Launch & Optimization (deployment, monitoring, post-launch support). We prioritize user feedback and data-driven decisions throughout.
Do you provide ongoing support after launching an app or platform?
Yes! We provide ongoing maintenance, bug fixes, performance optimization, and feature updates. We also offer analytics setup, user feedback analysis, and iterative improvements based on real usage data. Our goal is long-term success, not just project delivery.
