DGTL LABS / TORONTO
Turn “what if” into something useful.
DGTL LABS helps businesses and creatives turn an app idea into a browser-based tool. Discuss your users, the problem you want to solve and a practical first version with Dan Galea in Toronto.
Web apps built around a specific problem
A custom web app can be an interactive calculator, a searchable resource, a client portal or a tool for a particular workflow. We start by defining who will use it and the task they need to complete.
Make the first version focused
For a prototype or minimum viable product, choose the core workflow that needs to work first. Define the inputs, outputs and steps a user should be able to complete before adding secondary features.
Plan integrations and data deliberately
If the app needs accounts, saved information, payments or an outside API, include that in the initial brief. Those requirements affect the scope, implementation and ongoing support needed.
Connect tools and reduce repetitive work
Digital tools and automation can help with repeated administrative steps. Describe the current process, the systems involved and where you spend time so we can assess a useful approach.
Explore working experiments
The pitch room includes Positube, Blank Dar, Slang Calculator and Canada Help Finder. These are app experiments that show different directions, not promises that every feature fits every future project.
Your questions, answered.
Do you make iPhone and Android apps?
Our stated app offering focuses on web applications that run in a browser. If you need app-store distribution or device-specific features, include that requirement so we can assess the scope.
How are app projects priced?
Apps are scoped and quoted separately from website packages. The quote depends on the workflow, features, integrations and support requirements.
What should I include in an app brief?
Tell us who it is for, the problem it solves, the main action a user takes, any existing tools or data it must connect to, your budget and your desired timeline.
