We Build Apps

Yes, we always design apps to optimize their evolution, based on our understanding of the potential functionality and user behavior. Our technology is designed to scale, with the ability to increase server capacity if necessary (including migration to a dedicated AWS cluster) to meet the needs of a growing user base. Our technology provides simple dashboards and notifications to monitor application capacity utilization and help you adjust it if necessary.

Yes, our technology is built on Amazon Web Services (AWS), which in turn complies with certifications such as SOC 2, CSA, ISO 27001 and others. All application data is stored in the cloud using AWS and is generally hosted in the AWS Western Region (Oregon, USA), which has a state-of-the-art security infrastructure. Other security features of our technology are listed below:

AWS: All application data is stored in the cloud using Amazon Web Services (AWS), the industry standard. Data is generally hosted on AWS West Region (Oregon, USA), which boasts a state-of-the-art security infrastructure.
Encryption: Our technology encrypts all traffic with https, and encourages and supports users to use encryption on their own domains. All user passwords are stored + encrypted in the database; other user data is encrypted in the backend (Our technology is on AWS RDS). 
SSL: Applications can add SSL encryption to their own domains as part of any paid plan. The default domain includes SSL.
Dedicated infrastructure: For large, complex applications, our technology offers plans with the option of being on a dedicated AWS cluster (as opposed to shared clusters managed by our technology), leading to more reliable performance and greater security.
External database support: For projects requiring specific database configurations (for example, using a customer’s Azure infrastructure or a HIPAA-compliant data vault), the application can be configured to interface with a separate database using API calls. This slows down development compared with using the internal configuration of our technology.
Logs: Every action that modifies data in the database of an application using our technology is logged, enabling auditing if necessary.
Privacy rules: Our technology enables role-based privacy rules to be applied to applications, limiting the data sent by servers to the user’s hardware. This provides an extra layer of security to ensure that data does not fall into the hands of the wrong user.

We price our projects according to the effort they will require. Key factors are the amount of functionality you’re looking to introduce, the complexity of that functionality, and whether you’re using our design framework or implementing a custom design. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you would like a quote for your project.

You own the rights to your concept, your application and all user-generated data created through the application. Digital Nova retains ownership of the intellectual property of our page templates and predefined elements, which we use in several projects. More details on this distinction can be found in the client contract, which you can consult before approving a project.

Yes, you can come back to us at any time after the initial development for additional work. You can request ad-hoc updates which will include some team capacity.
