Software development, like our UX, UI, and Employee Experience services, is about crafting effective, real-world solutions that solve problems and enhance the user experience. Our focus is on delivering practical and engaging solutions that support business growth and have a lasting impact.

Why work with Purple Shirt's software developers?

As part of the Elemental Concept family, we combine the unparalleled technical expertise of a global team with creative problem-solving to build robust digital solutions. 

From proven platforms to emerging tech, we select the best development methods, tools, and technologies for each project, carefully evaluating whether the technology is the best fit for your unique situation. We stay ahead of trends without chasing hype, helping you choose tech that’s right for your business, and not just what’s shiny and new.

We’ll be honest if something doesn’t feel right. You’ll always get a clear, upfront perspective on what will drive value, what won’t, and where to focus next.

What it’s like to work with Purple Shirt and Elemental Concept for Software Development?

“When you’re developing and launching a new software product to the market, you need to work with people and a development team you can trust. This doesn’t just mean delivering on time and on schedule. It means a team that is dedicated to understanding what the customer needs, how to future-proof your product, and who behaves as a real partner, dedicated to making the product successful. That’s everything Elemental Concept has given to Social Machines in developing our ‘Temperature’ organisational culture measurement and change platform.”
