There’s no feeling quite like the satisfaction of watching your own Laravel application take off and drive real business success. After months of brainstorming, designing, coding, and testing, seeing your project come to life and deliver tangible results is incredibly fulfilling. To conceive of the original idea is hard enough but to jump all the hurdles, including the low probability of being able to monetize it … well it’s just really satisfying.
Building a successful web application in-house also speaks to the talent and dedication of your team. It showcases your ability to put your money where your mouth is – show clients you can not only build the application but bring to life the business concept itself.
WhichMat.com has been that dream application for us. The idea was born while competing in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. We saw a need for something that would be solved using Laravel and built a basic prototype to see if people would use it. Boy do they use it! It’s still early days and we already have over 10K users.
But that’s the key to any application – get SOMETHING working early. Not only does it help you figure out early if the idea is going to work or not but it saves a lot of time and a lot of money and gives investors reason to believe in you. Create a prototype, a proof of concept and then iterate on this rather than thinking too big. The faster you can get something up and running the faster you’ll make it to the marketplace.
if you have a dream, have some potential WhichMat of your own, talk to us, lets see if we can’t make your dreams come true too! 🙂
