How to Communicate Within a Remote Team Members
Business
Over the last few years, the world of work has completely transformed. Gone are the days when everyone is in the same office every day – this has all been replaced by a hybrid/remote environment where most of our communication happens virtually. While some attribute this solely to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, in truth – it was a trend that we’ve seen coming for a long time.
With this new paradigm of remote work, we’ve all had to learn how to best communicate so that we can still maintain the camaraderie and collaboration that is required to deliver on what customers expect. In this article, we’ll take a brief look at some of the key components of effective remote communication and how you can get the most out of your team regardless of where they are working from.
- Use a Project Management Tool: Staying in sync while remote is a challenge for teams of any size and that’s where project management tools can be so useful. Using a platform like Jira to track and measure progress is a great way to keep everyone in the loop – and to plan what everyone is doing.
- Be Intentional with Video Conferencing: Video calls have become the de facto method for team meetings and they can be incredibly useful when they’re done well. But you also don’t want to overdo it – because it can lead to fatigue. Be intentional about when you meet and what you meet about – to ensure that it’s a good use of everyone’s time and that it accomplishes something meaningful. When this happens, you can get a lot out of these sessions.
- Be Proactive About Staying Aligned: When people are working remotely, it’s easy to find that the company can stray a bit from the mission – because people can unintentionally go off on their own path. That’s why it’s so important to nurture a regular routine and process for coming together and aligning the strategic goals and objectives wherever possible. Don’t assume that people will ask for it, but rather make it something that is just part and parcel of how you work. That’s how you keep everyone on the same page and pulling in the same direction.
- Meet Up in Person: Just because you have a remote team doesn’t mean that you should forget about in-person meetups altogether. There’s something very powerful about bringing everyone together so people can get to know the human behind the screen and bond over what makes each person tick. Try to prioritize in-person meetups whenever possible, but ideally one every 3-6 months if it’s possible. These moments where everyone comes together can make a big difference for team morale and that goes a long way when it comes to achieving your company goals.
- Instant Communication: Nowadays, within a remote working culture, leaders needs to reensure how to communicate with the team effectively and bring more productivity to work. For this teams now use very efficitent tools like Slack, Miicrosoft teams, Skype chats which helps to keep instant and synchronus communication between teams that helps to build trust and productivity.
Those are just a few of the components of effective remote communication – but if you get these right you’ll find that you have much happier, healthier, and more productive employees.
None of this happens by accident though, so put in the time and effort to be proactive here. That’s how you build a highly effective remote organization.

Apple & Google Subscriptions: Is the Higher Commission Worth It?
Business
When you’re trying to build an app with a sustainable business model, one of the most important decisions that you have to make surrounds the payment method that you select. This can make or break your chances of success and have a significant impact on the scale that you can achieve.
In this article, we’re going to explore the different payment methods available and how you can select the best one for your particular situation.
What Payment Options are Available?
Let’s start by laying out the current ecosystem so we know what our most common choices are:
- Apple App Store. Apple takes a commission of 30% on all payments processed through their ecosystem – making them the most expensive option. However, many of our clients negotiated at the rate of a 15% commission
- Google Play Store. Google will charge 9-10% of all payments processed, depending on the nature of the app and other criteria.
- PayPal. Accepting payments through PayPal will cost you 2.9% of the transaction plus a flat $0.30 on each transaction.
- Stripe. This is very similar to PayPal, charging 2.9% and a flat $0.30 per transaction.
The natural question is whether the higher prices are worth it? And this can only be answered when we take into account the other factors that play a role in a sustainable and compelling proposition for your customers.
How Do Payments Work for Mobile Apps?
When designing your payment process, you also need to choose between a variety of different payment models that will determine how your users get charged for the mobile app they are using. Here are some of the more common ways this happens:
- Subscriptions. The most common way that users pay is via a subscription. This is when a user pays regularly on a weekly, monthly, or annual basis for the usage of the app. Typically, the payment processor will store the credit card details associated with that account and the transaction will go off automatically. This auto-renewal reduces friction and helps you to maintain more recurring revenue over time.
- Once-Off Payments. Users can also buy your app outright by making a once-off payment. This is great for apps with a single value proposition where the customer doesn’t expect continual development and improvement.
- Coupons. Another way that apps can work is by using coupons. Companies can seed the marketplace with coupon codes that are obtained elsewhere – which can then be redeemed in-app. This can be useful in various situations where the transaction is not a direct one necessarily.
All of these methods can be achieved through any payment processor but some are better suited than others. The iOS and Android ecosystems are built for the subscription model because they have all the customer’s payment information on file – making it easier for them to buy the app without friction. Stripe, PayPal, and others don’t have as strong a relationship with the users and therefore are better suited for one-off transactions.
How Should I Decide Which Payment Model to Use?
Choosing the right payment model for you is going to depend on the category of app that you’re developing. Let’s look at how different categories affect the suitable payment model:
- Entertainment Apps. Apps like Netflix which rely on constant updates and additions to the catalog best suit subscriptions which can be done across any of the different gateways.
- Productivity Apps. If your productivity app is going to get consistent updates then a subscription might be best, but if it’s simply a utility that will remain the same – it’s probably better to do once-off payments which can be done through any gateway.
- Utility Apps. These are typically once-off purchases because they have a singular and well-understood value proposition. Stripe, PayPal, and the like can be a good option here.
- Gaming Apps. Games often use in-app purchases which are better suited to existing ecosystems like iOS and Android – because there is much less friction in the moment.
- Education Apps. Assuming that your curriculum and resources are going to be changing over time, subscriptions are often a good option here – even if they have a finite end date to align with examinations or something similar.
This list is not exhaustive but it gives you a sense of how the categories affect which payment method you should be considering.
How Should I Think About Merchant Accounts?
When you stay outside the iOS and Android ecosystems, you’ll need to consider how to access a merchant account. If you don’t have one yet, your best option would be to use a gateway that creates one automatically for you upon registration (like Stripe or PayPal). It’s worth noting that you do pay quite a high commission here which can be painful if you’re a merchant with a large customer base and high product turnover.
If you’re launching a large marketplace with lots of daily transactions, it’s probably more cost-effective to choose a gateway that doesn’t have an attached bank account. You’d have to obtain your own one, but it would reduce your cost. Some of the most popular options here are SagePay and PayPoint. You’ll need to spend some time and effort configuring these – but you’ll save on the high commissions you would have paid someone to do it for you.
So, Who Do I Choose?
Essentially, after taking everything above into account – here is how we think about it:
Going with Apple or Google makes a lot of sense if you want to minimize friction for your customers and keep your conversion rates high. Their one-click payment functionality is simple and well-understood, and you can benefit from their large existing audience. However, you will pay a significant fee for this – so it needs to be worth it for you. Identify where your target audience is and assess which one is best for you.
For payments that are less impulsive and more considered, Stripe or PayPal can be good options. They are slightly slower than app stores, but they give you more control and better profitability on a per-app basis. You’ll need to have the existing audience already to reach scale with these options.
All in all, it depends on a variety of factors that are unique to your situation. Here at Sunflower Lab, we’ve worked with many different app developers over time and we’d love to help you make the right decision. So, don’t hesitate to get in touch – we’d love to hear from you.

3 Ways to Find the Best Custom Software Solutions in Ohio
3 Ways To Find The Best Custom Software Solutions In Ohio
Learn some tips and tricks to find the perfect IT partner in Ohio to suit your unique needs
Custom software solutions in Ohio have been helping businesses small and large achieve success for decades. But unfortunately, not everyone is so lucky. There are custom software development companies that give amazing quotes, but they likely fall short when it comes to quality, customer service, reliability, or even a combination of them all. On the other hand, you may go with the “big box” company because they impress you with their expansive portfolio and glowing customer reviews. But, are they really worth the money? While a 100% success rate may be a lofty goal, we’re here to increase your chances of achieving your software development goals with some tips and tricks we’ve picked up after being in the business for over 10 years. So, without further ado, here are 3 ways to find custom software solutions in Ohio that are right for you!
Find a Custom Software Solutions Company Scaled to Suit your Business
As mentioned above, there are tons of companies out there looking to deliver custom software solutions in Ohio. But, are they the right fit for your company? It’s important to understand that the best IT company to accommodate your needs is going to be one that gives you an experienced suited for the size of your company. For example, small to midsize companies will be most satisfied with a smaller IT enterprise that can deliver a personal, even one-on-one experience. These IT companies have smaller teams that can focus on fewer projects at a time while providing constant updates throughout the software development process. Additionally, smaller software development companies often offer more affordable options which delight smaller companies with tighter budgets.
For larger companies, a bigger custom software company may be a better option for a number of reasons. One: bigger tech firms can turn around projects very quickly which may be ideal for a big company looking for custom software solutions in Ohio. Two: big development companies are able to deliver robust software solutions equipped with the latest tech trends which are often what larger companies are seeking. Three: Large tech agencies typically carry heavier price tags that suit the high budgets or bigger companies seeking a custom software solution.
As you can see, the size of the IT company plays a major role in your choice for a custom software solution in Ohio.

Custom Software Solutions in Ohio Should be Experienced with Similar Projects and Clients
As you’re vetting custom software solution companies in Ohio, you should be keen on their previous clients and projects. Sift through their website and portfolio to answer the following questions:
- Do they have their case studies available to browse?
- How do their products look visually?
- Can you view a clickable prototype or video to experience the UI/UX?
- Have they worked with other companies in your industry?
- Do they have experience in the type of product or software you’re interested in?
- What do previous clients have to say about the IT company?
Ideally, the answer to all of these questions should be “yes.” If you come across a company and they can’t check all these boxes, they’re either not proud of their previous work, or they do not have the chops to take on your project—either way, move on! Going with the wrong company can cost you thousands of dollars, hours of sleep, and the edge on your competition.
Meeting your Custom Software Solutions Provider Face-to-Face
The beauty of finding custom software solutions in Ohio is that you have the ability to meet the providers face-to-face. Making personal contact with your software partner before signing a contract gives you a chance to get a true feel for the engineers and project leads. It gives your intuition an opportunity to weigh in on your decision. You’ll be able to get a more clear idea of what the company and individuals can offer that an email or phone call simply wouldn’t translate. Additionally, research shows that a physical handshake promotes cooperation and influences negotiation outcomes for the better.
So, collect the addresses of software developer prospects and spend an afternoon dropping in to their offices. The sense of intimacy, connection, and empathy that only a face-to-face interaction can garner can make a huge difference in the overall outcome of your app development experience.
Finding the Right Custom Software Solutions Company for You
Neither custom software solutions nor custom software development companies are one-size-fits-all. Ultimately your choice will come down to one question you must answer: what is the right fit for you? With a little bit of research and patience, you’ll find the perfect partner to take your business to the next level.

Helpful Information
What is customized software?
Custom software, also known as “Bespoke” software, is a type of application developed specially to suit a particular business or an organization to fulfill its specific business-centric requirements. Customized software is generally designed for a single client, or a group of clients (customers) who decide what kind of functionality and processes the software should possess.
Why is custom software development special?
There are pros and cons of buying off-the-shelf software packages as well as developing specialized software from a reliable custom software development company to suit your specific business needs. While you don’t have to spend time with the development team to design your software, in case of ready made software you can get started right away. However, such applications are generic in terms of end user requirements, and may offer certain features which may not exactly fit your unique requirements. So, even after spending money, you might still have to struggle with certain aspects of business automation as some features might not be available in your ready-made software.

How To Choose The Right IT Software Company For Your Startup
How To Choose The Right IT Software Company For Your Startup
Doing business these days is nearly impossible without some type of software. When customized to a company’s unique needs, these products help keep teams productive and organized. But without investors pouring in money or ample resources, obtaining a software solution can be a heavy lift for startups. It all starts with choosing the right IT software company. That may seem like the easiest part, but don’t be fooled! This initial step can make or break your startup’s future. Having a precise plan of action to secure the best development team. So, we’ve put together a list of questions you should ask yourself—and your potential partner—in order to choose the right IT software development company for your startup.
Blueprint Phase: What are your goals?
Before starting your research, it’s good to have a list of well-defined business goals. What problem do you want to solve? What are you trying to achieve? Maybe you want to stay in closer contact with your customers, or net a new batch of consumers. Perhaps you align with most business owners and have a desire to increase revenue. No matter what your goals are, you must determine if they can be achieved through an IT software company. To better understand how startups can benefit from custom software development, check out this article.
After completing this exercise, you may find that implementing a CRM system like Salesforce or HubSpot is the solution to your small business problem. Or maybe a new hire can help you reach your goal of more sales. But, if you determine that custom software is the best or only way to accomplish your objective, then you are one step closer to choosing the right IT software company for your startup.
Vetting Phase: Have you shopped around?
There’s a reason “first time’s a charm” isn’t a saying (or at least a popular one). It’s unlikely that you’ll find the perfect fit right from the jump of your journey. Block out plenty of time in your schedule to research several IT software company candidates. Perform initial Google searches using keywords like, “IT software company near me,” or “custom software development company for small businesses.” Then, surf company websites for more information. Do they have customer reviews? Have they been recognized for any awards? Do they display beautiful work samples? These are all questions you can answer before even reaching out.
At this point, you’ll always want to get some of your burning questions answered. Make the tumultuous task of information gathering less tedious by utilizing website chatbots if applicable (bonus points to companies that employ these technological helpers, here’s why). Keep your initial inquiry brief, and collect as much info up front as possible. Naturally, the strongest companies will begin to rise to the top, impressing you with their communication and professionalism. But it’s not time to settle just yet!
Critiquing Phase: Is the company experienced in startups?
Now that you’re in talks with a handful of promising IT software companies, it’s important to start really critiquing them. What you’re really looking for is a tailored, trusted experience that has been proven to work. And as a small business, you can’t truly know that unless they’ve worked with other small businesses. Check their work portfolio and search for startup projects. Ask your contact for a reference so you reach out to a former client.
Discover + Design Phase: Can they give you what you want—and only what you want?
At this point, you’re likely leaning towards one or two standout partners. These companies are working to dazzle you with their pitches, and impress you with the bells and whistles they have to offer. But as a small business, do you really need all the trappings? And, more importantly, can you even afford them? You’ve identified your business goals and need to stick to a certain budget. Finding an IT software company that is willing to build you a solution to solve your problems—and only your problems—will be key to success.
However, there are a number of software fundamentals that your chosen partner needs to deliver on:
- Cross-Platform Capabilities: Maybe you’re a Mac/iOS company. Or perhaps a PC/Android company. You could even be a PC/Android company that switches to a Mac/iOS company! No matter your technological carrier, your product has to be suitable with your systems.
- Speed: The objective of hiring an IT software company is to solve your issue, not create a new one! A slow product will cause headaches and unproductiveness. Speed should be a guarantee.
- Security: It almost goes without saying, but embedding the most robust security in your software solution is imperative. With identity theft and security breaches at an all-time high, your product can’t perform to its potential if you’re constantly battling systematic vulnerability. Don’t put your hard-earned business in a position to be compromised by not investing in top-notch security.
Long-Term Phase: What sorts of services, beyond the product, does the vendor provide?
A powerful, well-suited product is only part of the challenge when choosing an IT Software company. Your relationship with the vendor shouldn’t stop once the sale is made. The right partner will transcend the discovery, designing, development, and delivery phases to offer you a broader spectrum of services. Check out their customer reviews on Google and Clutch. Are they favorable? Do they have a positive reputation? These questions could make or break your final IT software company choice. Then there’s the issue of continued IT support. As a small business, it’s unlikely you’ve got a coding guru on your team. Therefore, it’s important to lock in the services of the IT software company for regular maintenance beyond deployment.
Starting Your IT Software Company Journey
So, there you have it! Armed with this handy list of questions, you’ll ace your IT software company journey. Next thing you know, your startup will be operating better, faster, and stronger than ever! But, if you’re still unsure of how to proceed with a software solution, we’re always here to help.

Push Notifications are messages that pop up on an app users phone. They can take the form of a sports update, flash sale, or required update. They are an excellent way for mobile app development companies to stay in contact with their users. They also serve as gentle reminders for customers to use the app. But, they can be annoying. Users have the option to opt in or out of push notifications based on personal preference. Though a percentage will choose not to receive push notifications, failing to offer them will result in lost communication with the users.
Mobile App Features: Social Media Networking Capabilities
People live more online than in actual reality these days. Thus, offering the ability for users to share their in-app activities will make your mobile app all the more enticing. For recreational apps, allow users to connect with their Facebook friends to compare accomplishments. For photo editing applications, buttons allowing customers to share directly to their platform of choice will make for an incredibly convenient experience. Got a news app? Allow your users to send interesting headlines to their profiles for richer usability and more exposure for your development. Mobile app development companies must offer social media capabilities in order for them to stay relevant in an increasingly digital world.
Mobile App Feature: Performance
This is a biggie. The overall performance of the products of mobile app development companies determines whether or not it’s adopted in the marketplace. There are four main factors when it comes to app performance:
iOS/Android
When you finally launch your mobile app development, the hope is that every smartphone user will download it! Now, that’s not a likely scenario, but it would be impossible if you only offer your app to one operating system. Making your app available to both iOS and Android users will increase its popularity.
Speed
Mobile app users are often multi-tasking. So, if an app takes too long to load or to perform a function, users will switch off and do something else instead.
Security
It almost goes without saying, but embedding the most robust security in your mobile app is imperative. With identity theft and security breaches at an all-time high, your app can’t perform up to its potential if you’re constantly battling systematic vulnerability. Don’t put your hard-earned app in a position to be compromised by not investing in top-notch security.
Bonus Feature: Augmented Reality
Augmented Reality (AR) is the hottest thing for mobile app development companies. AR apps are based on virtual data and real life so users can interact with the virtual world while being in real space. The automotive industry and restaurant business were early adopters of AR-equipped apps to give their customers a “try-before-you-buy” experience. It can be the “wow” factor that sets your app apart from your competition.
The talented designers at Sunflower Lab challenged themselves to architect an AR app for fast food. This app displays beautiful 3D images of food that users can interact with, along with ingredient details.
What Mobile App Development Companies Need to Know
The app development life cycle is long and meticulous. But, taking the extra care and time to include certain features can be the difference between success and failure for the development company. The fundamentals of app development lay the groundwork for a product that will offer exceptional user experience in the marketplace. And for the cherry on top, consider Augmented Reality to really set it off and wow your customers. The Sunflower Lab has been satisfying customers with top-notch mobile app developments for over a decade. Leave your project up to the professionals by contacting our experts today!

How To Become a Top Mobile App Development Company in New Jersey
The Journey to Becoming a Top Mobile App Development Company in New Jersey
Out of all the mobile app development companies around the country, how does one come out on top? We’ll tell you. With a Macbook and a dream, Ronak Patel and Yash Patel set out to make an impact on the world with technology. Fifteen years later, Sunflower Lab is embodied by 75+ engineers across the globe who push the boundaries of technology to help clients solve their toughest problems through mobile app developments. After more than a decade in the industry making software for a better tomorrow, we’ve gleaned some strong perspective on what it takes to become a top mobile app development company in New Jersey. Read on to find out!
Customized Approach
In the competitive field of mobile app development, it’s important to never approach a problem with a one-size-fits-all solution. Spending ample time discovering your clients problems will help you develop a sleek solution. And when it comes to the development process, tapping into your creativity will help you deliver unique and unmatched functionalities. Pushing the boundaries can help you unearth the next big thing in technology!
Experience & Skill
You’ve got to start somewhere. But the new players aren’t the ones being recognized as a top mobile app development company by Ready Mag. Experience is key to gaining the trust of mobile app clients. Previous work samples, positive reviews, and quality products are what attract the attention of future customers. In order to secure all those, you must put in the work. Highly-competent engineers who undergo rigorous training programs and commit to continued education build the kind of skillful teams that go the distance in mobile app development.
Perfecting the App Development Process
Software development is a delicate, highly-sophisticated process. To successfully complete the software development life cycle, all skill sets must be utilized: design, development, marketing. A software development company must pull together and support the MVP: the final app. Design thinking is another helpful practice in the app development process. It allows the development team to capitalize on opposing ideas to create new solutions, optimize the desirability, technical feasibility, and economic viability of a product or a design, and offers a new way of tackling the problems.
Top-Notch Customer Service
Sunflower Lab is passionate about customer service—one of the many reasons we’ve been recognized as a top mobile app development company in New Jersey. Determination, trust, simple communication, and a confluence of dedicated brainpower is the recipe for a successful client relationship. Aim to deliver solutions that transcend your expectations; mediocre results are unlikely to make a lasting impression on a client. And above all, remaining in constant communication throughout the app development process is key to guaranteeing satisfaction.
Trusted Reputation
At the end of the day, having a trusted reputation that precedes you is paramount in becoming a top mobile app development company. Positive word-of-mouth, testimonials, and customer satisfaction rate (we are proud to boast a rate of 96% satisfaction among our many clients) are all ways to broadcast your reputation to future clients. Your customers will pay for the end product, but the trust you’ll be able to add to the deal is priceless.
Becoming a Top Mobile App Development Company in New Jersey

Time is passing by
CSS selectors all exist within the same global scope. Anyone who has worked with CSS long enough has had to come to terms with its aggressively global nature — a model clearly designed in the age of documents, now struggling to offer a sane working environment for today’s modern web applications. Every selector has the potential to have unintended side effects by targeting unwanted elements or clashing with other selectors. More surprisingly, our selectors may even lose out in the global specificity war, ultimately having little or no effect on the page at all.
Any time we make a change to a CSS file, we need to carefully consider the global environment in which our styles will sit. No other front end technology requires so much discipline just to keep the code at a minimum level of maintainability. But it doesn’t have to be this way. It’s time to leave the era of global style sheets behind.
It’s time for local CSS.
In other languages, it’s accepted that modifying the global environment is something to be done rarely, if ever.
In the JavaScript community, thanks to tools like Browserify, Webpack and JSPM, it’s now expected that our code will consist of small modules, each encapsulating their explicit dependencies, exporting a minimal API.
Yet, somehow, CSS still seems to be getting a free pass.
Many of us — myself included, until recently — have been working with CSS so long that we don’t see the lack of local scope as a problem that we can solve without significant help from browser vendors. Even then, we’d still need to wait for the majority of our users to be using a browser with proper Shadow DOM support.
We’ve worked around the issues of global scope with a series of naming conventions like OOCSS, SMACSS, BEM and SUIT, each providing a way for us to avoid naming collisions and emulate sane scoping rules.
We no longer need to add lengthy prefixes to all of our selectors to simulate scoping. More components could define their own foo and bar identifiers which — unlike the traditional global selector model—wouldn’t produce any naming collisions.
import
styles
from
'./MyComponent.css';
import
React, { Component }
from
'react';
export default class
MyComponent
extends
Component {
render
() {
return (
<div>
<div className={
styles.foo
}>
Foo
</div>
<div className={
styles.bar
}>
Bar
</div>
</div>
);
}
The benefits of global CSS — style re-use between components via utility classes, etc. — are still achievable with this model. The key difference is that, just like when we work in other technologies, we need to explicitly import the classes that we depend on. Our code can’t make many, if any, assumptions about the global environment.
Writing maintainable CSS is now encouraged, not by careful adherence to a naming convention, but by style encapsulation during development.
Once you’ve tried working with local CSS, there’s really no going back. Experiencing true local scope in our style sheets — in a way that works across all browsers— is not something to be easily ignored.
Introducing local scope has had a significant ripple effect on how we approach our CSS. Naming conventions, patterns of re-use, and the potential extraction of styles into separate packages are all directly affected by this shift, and we’re only at the beginning of this new era of local CSS.
process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development' ?
'[name]__[local]___[hash:base64:5]
' :
'
[hash:base64:5]'
)
Understanding the ramifications of this shift is something that we’re still working through. With your valuable input and experimentation, I’m hoping that this is a conversation we can have together as a larger community.
Note: Automatically optimising style re-use between components would be an amazing step forward, but it definitely requires help from people a lot smarter than me.
