Cloud Ready Applications
Flexible applications for new or existing business requirements.
An installable web application that performs like a native application on any device.
Increase efficiency with an intuitive user interface and application flow.
Development Overview
Southland develops Progressive Web Applications (PWAs).
PWAs run on any device with a modern web browser.
They can be installed directly from the web, app stores or a standalone package onto Windows, Linux, MacOS, Android and iOS.
Southland develops Progressive Web Applications (PWAs).
PWAs run on any device with a modern web browser.
They can be installed directly from the web, app stores or a standalone package onto Windows, Linux, MacOS, Android and iOS.
Southland PWAs are built using core web standards without relying on frameworks or additional tooling.
This ensures the application has long term support, is maintainable and can be easily modified even after long periods without any changes.
Your application can be designed to operate offline in the event of a server outage, limited or no internet connectivity.
Data is processed and stored on the device, later synchronizing to a cloud server or a server on your premises.
Applications are modular which makes their components re-usable.
Components speed up development time leading to lower costs.
Applications are also designed to be maintainable, preemptively lowering the cost of future updates.
PWAs are widely adopted, here are a few examples: Google, Facebook, Instagram, X / Twitter, TikTok and Microsoft Copilot.

Development Process
-
1. Research and Discovery
Determine application objectives, user interface and data requirements. -
2. Concept and Validation
Formulate the application concept and validate it through user interaction. -
3. Core Application Development
Begin core development including the UI, data handling and server components. -
4. User Testing
Invite users to perform testing to ensure the application is meeting production requirements. -
5. Issue Resolution and Final Development
Resolve any issues found during testing and finalize the application.
Common Questions
An application with five feature-rich text interface screens and a cloud server component is estimated at 70 hours which is around $5500CAD.
There are monthly costs with a cloud server component, including a small maintenance fee, for an estimated total of $14CAD.
A deposit of up to 20% is required for most application development.
No, you receive a license to use the application perpetually.

The cost of the application should be offset by efficiency savings or revenue generation from using the app.
No, you receive a license to use the application perpetually.
The application cannot be resold, distributed or otherwise copied to another without consent.
The application source code is visible allowing the application to be modified.
Any modifications made are your own, meaning they can be sold or distributed.
Only the modification source code (known as a patch) can be distributed, you cannot distribute the modified application.
You can ask for plugin support for your application to simplify modifications.
Changes extend the time to completion and will be added to the cost of the project. Large changes can add significant time and may be subject to an additional deposit. Finding as many core features as possible during the first and second phase of development is ideal.
