The short version

The problem

Travelers had no dedicated mobile platform for exploring Dominica.

What we built

A Flutter travel app backed by Laravel and Firebase, deployed to production on AWS.

Where it is now

Live on the Play Store, with the founding team continuing independently.

The challenge

A travel platform for a country that didn’t have one

The client

A 2–5 person founding team set out to build the first full-featured travel platform for Dominica, starting from a concept with no existing product.

The problem

Travelers had no dedicated mobile platform for exploring Dominica — the founders needed a complete build, from design through Play Store submission, in a single engagement rather than a series of piecemeal vendors.

The approach

App, backend and cloud built in parallel

  • One team, not many vendors

    Design through Play Store submission, delivered in a single engagement.

  • Zero infrastructure

    Mobile app, backend and cloud deployment built from scratch in parallel.

  • Tested on real devices

    A continuous deployment pipeline kept builds testable on real devices throughout.

How we worked

Agile sprints, Slack and email with the founding team, with a continuous deployment pipeline so builds were testable on real devices throughout development.
