Alright, so today we're gonna be diving into We get design and all things low code. Yeah, sounds good. Yeah. And honestly, like the thing that really stood out to me when I was going through all their materials was this whole 2024 review thing they did. I know, I thought that was pretty cool. Yeah. It's it, it, it's not every day you see a company kind of take a step back, you know, I'm really trying to like, get better based on what their clients are saying, Like, good on them, especially in the tech world, you know what I mean? Yeah, for sure. It's all about, you know, disrupt, disrupt, disrupt. But they're like, Nah, let's just like chill for a second and actually, you know, listen to the people we're working with. Totally. And, and Speaking of tech world, these guys, we get design. They're based in Cardiff, right? Right in the thick of it. And they're all about this low code. Development thing specifically with bubble dot IO. Have you ever messed around with bubble dot IO at all? Yeah, able dot IO is really cool. Like imagine if you could build an app like you're putting together like a Lego set or something right? You know like you don't have to like write every single line of code from scratch. You've got these like pre built blocks right and you just kind of drag and drop and connect them together and boom you got yourself a working app. So it's kind of like simplifying the process, making it more accessible to people. Exactly. I like that. And and get this, these guys, we get design. They're not just like playing around with bubble dot IO. They're like certified Wizards or something. They're the first UK gold agency certified by Bubble. That's huge, especially in the UK market. Like Bubble doesn't just hand those certifications out to anyone. So, you know, they've really proven themselves. That's what I'm saying. So we've got this company, they care about what their clients think. They're clearly passionate about this whole low code thing and they're really good at it. They're not just riding the wave, they're like the ones who are making the wave, which is, which is super interesting. And we're going to dive into exactly how they do that right after this. So. OK, they've obviously got the skills, the know how. Umm, but what about like, their actual process? You know, how do they actually work with clients? Yeah, because that's the thing, right? It's one thing to be good at something, but it's another thing to actually, like, deliver it in a way that makes sense for people. Exactly. And it looks like they've broken it down into like these three main stages, discover, design and develop, which I don't know, I kind of dig that. It's very straightforward, you know, it's not like they're trying to overcomplicate things with the. Morgan or anything? Yeah. It's like they're just being upfront about it, like this is what we're gonna do and this is how we're gonna do it. And it seems like they actually walk the walk too, you know? They're not just talking about transparency, they're actually living it right. Like, one thing that really stood out to me was this whole apprenticeship program they've got going on. Ohh yeah, tell me about that. It's like they're actively out there. Finding and training new locode developers. Which I think is super cool. Yeah, that's a smart move for a couple of reasons. First of all, it shows that they're really invested in the future of this whole low code thing. You know, they're not just, like, right in the way if they're making sure that there are people who can keep writing it, right. And 2nd, it tells you a lot about their company culture. You know, they're not just trying to, like, squeeze every last drop of work out of people. They're actually trying to, like, grow the talent pool. Yeah. It's like they're playing the long game, which is refreshing to see. Totally. And Speaking of long game. Their approach to security is something else. Ohh, yeah. Now we're talking to your language, right? Well, yeah, I mean, it's important, you know, in this day and age, you can't just, like, throw an app out there and hope for the best, especially if you're dealing with sensitive data or anything like that. Exactly. And it seems like we get design gets that they've actually partnered up with Flask, which is a pretty big deal in the security world. Yeah, I was going to say, Flask is not messing around. No, they're like the the real deal. They provide real time monitoring, threat detection, all that good stuff. So it's like having a bodyguard for your app, basically, Yeah. They're constantly on the lookout for any vulnerabilities or potential risks. So you can sleep at night knowing that your stuff is protected. OK, so they build your app. It's super secure. But then what happens? Like what if you need help with it down the line? Right, Because things change. You need updates, new features. It's not like a one and done kind of deal. Exactly. But it seems like we get design has that covered too. From what I've seen, they offer these, like ongoing support packages and even like development retainers. Ohh, really? So it's like you're not just on your own after the hand over the keys. Exactly. More like they're there with you for the long haul. Yeah. You know, helping you keep things running smoothly and making sure you're getting the most out of your app. OK. I like that a lot. It shows that they're really invested in their clients. Success, yeah, not just, you know, trying to churn and burn through projects. Totally. And that's something that's really important to highlight, you know, because we've been talking about all these technical details about low code development and security and all that stuff, right but at the end of the day, it's the human element that really matters totally because like. What's the point of all this amazing tech if it's not actually helping anyone? You know what I mean? Exactly. So to bring it back to our listener for a second, like. If you're out there thinking about building an app or a website or whatever it might be, yeah, think about what kind of experience you wanna have. Do you just want someone to like? Crank out some code for you and then disappear, Right. Or do you want a partner? Exactly. Someone who's gonna be there with you every step of the way to help you bring your vision to life? Because that's what it sounds like we could design is all about, right? This collaborative partnership approach to building amazing things. Yeah. It's not just about the tech. It's about the people and the relationships. And I think that's something that's really special. I agree. And it's something that's definitely worth thinking about. So as we wrap up this deep dives, we want to leave you with this. Yeah. Low code is changing. Game. Making it possible for anyone to build incredible things, and with companies like We Get Design leading the charge, well, the possibilities are endless. We really are. So until next time, keep exploring, keep building, and we'll see you in this deep dive.
