GOGOmedia

Warsaw-based GOGOmedia has been building web projects since 2008 as an internet software house. Its work covers custom web applications, product design and research, the supply of specialists to client teams, and hosting and support after launch. The firm puts its own team at around fifty programmers, most of whom work on product development rather than on staffing.

Custom web applications built in-house

Dedicated web application development sits at the centre of the business. The firm works in agile fashion, and its main stack pairs PHP or Python on the server with Angular or React in the browser, with Symfony and WordPress used where a project calls for them. Every project is run and delivered by the firm's own staff, and its code is meant to stay lightweight, scalable and readable, so that a client's own IT team can take it over later.

Specialists for hire and a design process

Clients can also rent people by the month. GOGOmedia supplies developers, project managers, UX designers and UI designers, with engagements starting from 80 hours a month. Where a product is being built, each client gets a dedicated project manager who sends precise progress reports through Jira TEMPO, and clients can speak directly with the design and development team.

Design work begins with a structured research and design process, using Axure, Figma or XD and Miro to produce the blueprints that development then follows. Consulting on product design is offered as well, for companies that need help shaping an idea before any code is written.

Infrastructure, support and billing

Hosting runs on AWS and Google Cloud, and the company describes its server infrastructure as highly optimised. After launch it provides support and hosting, so the team that built a system can keep it running and extend it.

Two billing arrangements are available. The first is a quote agreed in advance, with a known total cost of execution and a fixed completion date. The second charges only for the time actually used. In both cases the firm promises guaranteed resources for the work, and it presents both options as simple and easy to follow.

Experience and the standard of the team

The firm traces its practice back to 2008 and points to the quality standards and management routines it has built since then. It states that it employs only experienced engineers, so that projects are not handed to junior staff. Its expertise in the security and optimisation of web systems, and in high-performance distributed applications, is a further strand of the work.
