Why Design & Dev-as-a-Service

Strategic Design + Engineering
as One Unified Engine

Most teams face a choice between speed and quality. DaaS eliminates that tradeoff, giving you a fully embedded, cross-functional squad that thinks strategically and executes with precision, without the overhead of hiring.

On-Demand Expertise

Access a cross-functional team of designers, developers, and strategists the moment you need them. No hiring delays, no onboarding bottlenecks: just immediate, expert execution.

Fixed Predictable Cost

Subscription-based engagement model with clear scope and no surprise invoices. Budget with confidence while scaling your product and brand continuously.

Strategy-Led Execution

Every pixel and every line of code is rooted in design thinking and purpose-driven strategy. We align creative direction with your business objectives before we build a single component.

Scalable & Flexible

Scale capacity up or down as your roadmap evolves. Work with us as an embedded squad or fully outsourced partner: the model adapts to what you need.

What We Deliver

Design and Engineering
Working as One

Every engagement spans the full creative and technical spectrum. From the first wireframe to the deployed product, our cross-functional team handles it all.

01

UI Design & Design Systems

High-fidelity Figma screens, component libraries, and scalable design systems. Every interface is component-driven, responsive, and ready for engineering handoff.

02

UX Research & Flow Mapping

User personas, journey maps, wireframes, and usability testing. We validate flows and interaction models before development starts, eliminating costly rework.

03

Brand Identity & Visual Design

Logo systems, brand guidelines, marketing collateral, and motion graphics. Visual communication built to be consistent across every channel and touchpoint.

04

Website & Web App Development

Performance-first websites, full-stack web apps, CMS implementations, and eCommerce storefronts built with React, Next.js, WordPress, Webflow, and Shopify.

05

Mobile App Development

Native iOS and Android apps alongside cross-platform solutions in Flutter and React Native. Designed and engineered in-house for performance, reach, and maintainability.

06

Landing Pages & Ongoing Support

Conversion-focused campaign pages delivered fast, plus maintenance retainers to keep your digital presence secure, updated, and performing at its peak.

How We Work

From First Brief to
Final Delivery

Design and engineering stay in lockstep at every stage. No handoffs lost in translation, no rework from misaligned specs, no surprises at launch.

01
Discover

Brief, Goals & Audit

We align on your brand vision, user needs, and success metrics before any design work begins. Assets are audited, gaps identified, and scope confirmed.

02
Design

Wireframes, UI & System

User flows, wireframes, and high-fidelity Figma screens produced against an agreed design system: tokens, components, typography, and spacing locked in.

03
Build

Engineering & QA

Developers work directly from annotated Figma files. Code is reviewed, tested for accessibility, and validated across devices before it ever reaches staging.

04
Refine

Feedback & Iteration

Structured review cycles with clear feedback loops. Changes are scoped, prioritised, and resolved fast. No endless revisions, no scope creep.

05
Launch

Deploy & Handoff

Deployment, documentation, and a clean handoff with source files, credentials, and support. Maintenance retainers available for teams who want us to stay on.

Client Stories

What our clients
say about working with us

I had the pleasure working with Aman and the GMAV team on a custom mobile app solution for cross-border payment infrastructure that required extensive integrations. The entire team was great to work with from discovery to design and development. They take a very consultative approach to ensure all requirements are captured correctly, in addition to providing a value-conscious quote that works within our budget. Project was delivered on time and within scope. Would not hesitate to use them again.

Ask Our DaaS Expert →
What is Design and Development as a Service?
It is a flexible engagement model where you get on-demand access to a cross-functional team of designers, engineers, and strategists without hiring in-house. You scope the work, we deliver continuously against an agreed cadence and budget.
How is this different from hiring a freelancer or traditional agency?
Freelancers give you a single skill set; traditional agencies add overhead and fixed project structures. Our model gives you a full-stack team (designers, developers, QA) that operates as an extension of your own, with the flexibility to scale up or down each month.
What types of projects can GMAV handle under DaaS?
UI/UX design, brand identity, graphic design, website development, web application development, eCommerce builds, mobile apps (iOS, Android, cross-platform), CMS implementations, and ongoing maintenance. If it requires design or engineering, we cover it.
How fast can GMAV turn around design or development work?
Simple design tasks (icons, banners, one-page layouts) typically turn around in 24 to 48 hours. Full UI screens or feature builds range from 3 to 10 business days depending on scope. We agree on turnaround windows before work begins so there are no surprises.
Can we start with one service and expand later?
Yes. Many clients begin with a focused scope (a website redesign or a single app screen) and expand to include development, brand, or growth services as trust builds. Our model is built to grow with you, not lock you into a fixed package from day one.
Do you work with early-stage startups or only established businesses?
Both. We work with pre-seed founders who need an MVP designed and built fast, and with established enterprises evolving their digital presence. The engagement model adapts to your stage, budget, and velocity.
What does the onboarding process look like?
After an initial discovery call, we share a brief template for you to complete. We then run a scoping session, agree on deliverables and timelines, and kick off within days. No lengthy procurement cycles.
Will I own all the design files and source code?
Yes. You receive full ownership of all deliverables: Figma source files, code repositories, brand assets, and any third-party licences procured for your project. We do not retain any proprietary rights to work produced under your engagement.
