Building Apps That People Actually Use
We started SalliuaeGo because we noticed something odd. Most mobile apps looked impressive in presentations but felt clunky when you actually tried to use them. So we decided to focus on building apps that work the way people naturally interact with their phones—not the way technical specifications say they should.
Where We Started
Back in 2018, our founding team was working on a food delivery app that kept crashing during peak hours. That frustrating experience taught us more about mobile development than any textbook ever could.
What We Learned
After building apps for local shops, restaurants, and service providers around Lucknow, we realized that success isn't about fancy features. It's about understanding how a shopkeeper checks orders between customers or how a delivery person navigates during monsoon season.
How We Actually Work
These aren't corporate values we printed on posters. They're the principles that emerged from years of real projects and honest mistakes.
Test With Real People First
We built an entire e-commerce app once that looked perfect on our designer's MacBook. Then we watched someone try to use it on their phone while standing in a crowded market with glaring sunlight. Complete disaster. Now we test every interface in actual conditions where people will use it—busy streets, dim lighting, one-handed operation while carrying groceries. Makes a huge difference.
Keep Communication Simple
We used to send clients detailed technical documentation explaining backend architectures and API endpoints. Nobody read them. Now we share short screen recordings showing what's working and what's next. Takes five minutes to make and actually gets watched. Plus, when something goes wrong, we say what happened in plain language rather than hiding behind technical jargon.
Build For Tomorrow's Problems
A client once asked for a simple booking app. We could have delivered exactly that. Instead, we asked what happens when they expand to three locations next year. Good thing we did—they opened their fourth branch last month and the app handled it without breaking a sweat. We think about where businesses are headed, not just where they are today.
The People Behind Your App
Our team isn't huge, but everyone here has shipped real apps that real people use daily. That experience matters when things get complicated.
Our Approach
Small Team, Real Experience
We're a compact group of developers, designers, and testers based in Lucknow. What we lack in size, we make up for with focus and accountability. When you work with us, you're not getting account managers who relay messages to people you never meet. You're working directly with Priyanka, who'll design your interfaces, or Arjun, who'll write your backend code.
Most of us came from larger agencies where projects got lost in process and bureaucracy. Here, if something needs fixing, the person who built it fixes it. No tickets, no chains of command—just direct communication and quick solutions.
We meet every Monday morning over chai to discuss what worked and what didn't the previous week. Those honest conversations keep us improving and make sure we don't repeat the same mistakes across different projects.
Working Together
What To Expect From Us
We'll be honest when your idea needs rethinking. Not to be difficult, but because we've seen similar approaches fail before. If there's a simpler solution that achieves the same goal, we'll suggest it—even if it means less billable work for us.
You'll get regular updates, but we won't flood your inbox with reports nobody reads. When we hit a technical snag, we'll explain it clearly and offer solutions rather than excuses. And when launch day approaches, we'll be as nervous and excited as you are.
After your app goes live, we stick around. Not because we want ongoing retainer fees, but because the first few weeks of real user feedback usually reveal things no amount of testing caught. We want to see your app succeed, which means being there when it matters most.
