What is a software development company?

Software development agencies create custom software products and are responsible for the entire process: design, development, and frameworks.

How can I find a custom software development company?

There are tons of software development agencies out there. Find the right one for you by listing your needs and comparing them against reviews and company profiles on websites like Clutch and The Manifest. From there, you can develop a shortlist based on type of service needed, budget, and preferred technologies before the interview stages.

What are the 3 types of software?

Generally speaking, the three types of software are system software, utility software, and application software. Application software is the most common and recognizable type, involving a package that performs a singular function for users. Utility software is created to maintain the functions of a computer, and system software runs a computer’s hardware and software programs.
