How we work

From the first idea to a real release.

After the scope is approved, we work quickly against clear, testable goals.

Tell us the goal

Start with the problem, users and result. A finished technical specification is not required.

Define requirements

We turn the idea into concrete features, flows, integrations and priorities.

Develop and test

After the scope is approved, we work quickly against clear, testable goals.

Publish and support

We can handle store release and continue with maintenance, updates and new features.

We are based in Italy and can meet face to face when that helps the project.

Full-cycle delivery

FAQ

Common questions before a project starts

Are these guides only for technical founders?

No. They are written for people who understand the business need but do not want to manage every technical detail.

Do the guides replace an estimate?

No. A reliable estimate still requires concrete requirements and integrations.

Can you meet clients in person in Italy?

Yes. Astera Team is based in Alessandria, Piedmont, and in-person meetings can be arranged when useful.

Do you provide support after launch?

Yes. Maintenance, updates, store releases and new functionality can continue after the first launch.

Discuss the project

Have an idea, a process to digitise or a product to finish?

Send a short description of what you want to achieve. We can start from the goal, clarify the essential features and define the most sensible first step.
