Product Design & Software Development
From idea to prototype to launch.
Product design and software development for startups and companies: web and mobile apps for iOS and Android, and blockchain-based products. We design it, build it and keep it running, and we plan for data and compliance before they become expensive to change.
Who it's for
Founders and teams with a product to build.
Startups turning an idea into a first version, and companies building a new product or improving an existing one, whether it is a web app, a mobile app or a blockchain-based product.
It also suits teams in regulated areas such as financial services, digital assets and compliance tools, where how data is collected, stored and moved is part of the product from day one.
Many products struggle for reasons that have little to do with code: an unclear problem, a first version that tries to do too much, or a data flow that a regulator will question. We start with those questions.
What we help with
Design and development, one team.
Discovery & design
- Clarifying the problem, the users and the market
- User flows, wireframes and clickable prototypes
- Interface design, including multilingual products
- A scope for a first version you can launch
Software development
- Web applications, from MVP to full product
- Mobile apps for iOS and Android
- Blockchain-based products and integrations
- Back-end services, APIs and dashboards
- Integrations with the services your product relies on
- Maintenance, improvements and documentation after launch
Compliance by design
- Data protection and privacy considered from the start
- Privacy notices, consent and audit trails built into the flow
- Sanctions and AML screening features for financial and digital-asset products
- Legal questions referred to qualified counsel, including Sonmez Partners for Turkish law
How we work
From idea to launch.
-
Discover
We agree what problem the product solves, for whom, and what the first version must prove.
-
Prototype
Flows, screens and a clickable prototype you can put in front of real users before building.
-
Build
Development in short releases you can review, with decisions written down as we go.
-
Launch & support
Release, measurement, maintenance and the next version, based on what users do.
Good to know
A prototype is cheaper than a wrong product.
No one can promise that a product will succeed. What we can do is help you test the riskiest assumptions early, keep the first version small, and make language, data and compliance decisions before they are built in.
Questions
Good to know before we talk
Do I need a finished specification before we start?
No. Many projects start with an idea and a few assumptions. The discovery phase turns them into a scope for a first version.
Do you only design, or do you also build the software?
Both. We can take a product from first idea to working software, and keep developing and maintaining it after launch.
Do you build mobile apps and blockchain-based products?
Yes. We build mobile apps for iOS and Android and blockchain-based products, as well as web applications, and we consider compliance from the first version, especially for financial and digital-asset products.
Can you work with our existing developers or designers?
Yes. We can lead discovery and design, or work alongside your team on part of the build.
Who owns the code and designs?
Ownership is agreed in writing in the project contract before work starts.
Do you give legal advice on our product?
No. Sonmez Consulting LLC is not a U.S. law firm. We work alongside your lawyers on the legal side of your product; where Turkish law applies, the Turkish attorneys at Sonmez Partners can review it.
