We're not your garden-variety geeks..
No glasses or pocket protectors here. Our philosophy is “look good, be good.” And when we’re not standing around looking good in our Gucci loafers, Tom Ford sports jackets, and beards, we’re doing cool stuff like this for people:
Web Development
At Arck Interactive, we don't just follow the trends; we set them. Our development methodology is more than just iterative; it's a dance of agility and innovation. We move at the speed of tomorrow, delivering results in regular cycles that not only keep you accountable but also ahead of the game.
Mobile, Hybrid and Progressive Web App (PWA) Development
We're pioneers in mobile development. Native or hybrid, we understand the nuances and master the trade-offs. But we don't stop there. Arck Interactive is a future-first agency, adopting cutting-edge technologies like Swift and React Native before they become the industry norm.
Microservices Architecture and Integration
In a world where monolithic applications are ancient history, Arck Interactive is your ticket to the future. We're architects of change, helping you design sleek microservices architectures or liberate your existing APIs into agile, atomic microservices. Scalability isn't a luxury; it's a necessity.
Business Process Automation & AI
We're not just developers; we're efficiency architects. At Arck Interactive, we thrive on identifying, optimizing, and automating inefficient business processes. In today's fast-paced world, operational change isn't optional; it's essential. Our team wields the magic of automation tools, ensuring your processes keep pace with the times.
Product & UI/UX Design
Style isn't just a phase; it's a way of life. At Arck Interactive, we embody "Design Sustainability," a philosophy that transcends trends. Our solutions are timeless, tailored to your present and future needs. While we cherish classic design, we're also fully immersed in the world of reactive Javascript frameworks like Vue.JS and React.JS, setting the tone for tomorrow's aesthetics.
QA, Continuous Integration & DevOps
Whether you're a startup or an enterprise, we've got your back when it comes to CI/CD. We're the masters of crafting QA/CI/CD pipelines that let you innovate without fear. Platform-agnostic yet tool-savvy, we favor the likes of Jenkins, Codecov, CircleCI, Github, and marker.io to ensure your journey to success is smooth and uninterrupted.
What We Do
Arck Interactive is your go-to full-service agency, specializing in crafting tailored web and mobile solutions from concept to launch. With a team of experts, we offer comprehensive services, including full-stack development, UI/UX design, robust support, custom managed hosting, and in-depth analytics, ensuring a seamless and triumphant product launch.
Our Approach
We take pride in collaborating with a diverse array of industries, providing bespoke solutions to address their unique challenges and goals. Our track record shines in various sectors, from healthcare and education to nonprofit and e-commerce. For instance, we engineered a HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform, granting patients secure access to virtual appointments and medical records. We bolstered a nonprofit's online donations by 50% with a user-friendly donation platform and empowered an educational institution with a dynamic custom learning management system.
Custom Solutions, Real Results
At Arck Interactive, we believe in crafting solutions tailored precisely to our clients' needs. Off-the-shelf SaaS products fall short when unique requirements arise. Our team excels in developing custom solutions that solve real business problems, consistently delivering tangible results.
