The Boulder Watershed Collective is a Colorado nonprofit using apps to advance causes. The small nonprofit has a vital cause:. Beyond mitigation and restoration projects, the nonprofit offers education and engagement to empower environmental stewardship and inspire action. 

Giving the community a free, immersive, and informative experience, the Take-a-Hike app was an ambitious project. Let’s explore.

Innovation in nonprofit experience design is often out of reach for smaller non-profits, but our design solves that challenge. InspiringApps created a cost-effective mobile app in partnership with Boulder Watershed Collective, offering an immersion into the Boulder trails system never before experienced. 

Available for both iOS and Android, the free Take-a-Hike app is a trail guide in your pocket. The user experience is deeply mapped to the mission: concentrate on the natural beauty of Boulder’s trails, but learn about reasons to protect them, too. With InspiringApps’ environmental stewardship app design, users can enjoy hikes internet-free while tracking their progress and learning.

True innovation comes from shared collaboration and partnership. Technology decisions can be simplified and streamlined into one cohesive process with shared collaboration. Regarding the app design process, Boulder Watershed Collective shared: 

“Thank you and the InspiringApps team for working with us on this and making the idea possible. I am not sure we would even have an app or an app of this quality without you and your team’s awesome work and collaboration.”

Experiential design goes beyond traditional design practices by considering the entire journey and environment in which the experience occurs. It aims to stimulate multiple senses to create a more immersive and impactful experience.

For nonprofits, digital, experiential design can create a strong impact and elicit positive change. By engaging multiple senses, Take-a-Hike offers an immersive experience that supports local climate innovators through novel ways that foster environmental stewardship. In addition to teaching hikers about their diverse environment, the entire experience educates users on the services and management decisions that aid the wetlands, forests, and mountains. 

The app’s design has two key interactive features: a map and an audio narration. As it guides hikers to different learning spots along the trail, the app uses GPS mapping and audio playback from the user’s device to create a natural connection with the outdoors. As a result of the design’s innovations, users can visually learn about points of interest along their hike, and geographically triggered audio segments play at those same points of interest automatically. 

Visual elements are both informative and intuitive. When users select and begin a hike in the app, they see a map of their hike and the points of interest or stops along the way. As they hike to each stop, a details screen shows hikers where they are in real-time, info about that point, and the distance to the next stop.

Audio elements offer a high degree of control but a minimum interaction requirement to enhance outdoor experiences. 

• Users can control the audio from their phone’s notifications panel. 
• They can turn on an audio narration in the background, so there’s no need to interact with their phones during the hike. 
• When approaching stops, there is audio to help hikers appreciate their surroundings, followed by silence to enable hikers to use that information while taking in bird calls and mountain views.

Built in a way that makes adding additional hikes a nominal effort, the app has enabled Boulder Watershed Collective to exponentially grow its education and outreach beyond the small staff’s capacity. Partnering within the community, the team continues to add hikes and expand its reach.

After initially releasing the Take-a-Hike app developed by InspiringApps, Boulder Watershed Collective received additional grants. One of those was to work with a school in Lafayette to guide a podcast creation experience with students. Students contributed content that has been integrated into the app. In a testimonial from the teacher, she said:

 “The Boulder Watershed Collective took on the impossible. They transformed ninth graders with zero experience into podcasters. With endless patience and spectacular curricular materials, these experts led the students from ideation through a finished product. Along the way, they learned how to ask great questions, create mind maps, collaborate, and use podcasting programs.

“At the end of the year, many of these students identified their work creating podcasts with the Boulder Watershed Collective as the most important experience of their academic year.”

With the added Spanish translation, the app development experience has enhanced not just one set of learners but many who will follow. 

When creating a nonprofit app, it’s important to take a holistic approach, considering different angles and solutions. Nonprofit organizations seek human-centered designs, but just as in the corporate world, there are also technical and cost aspects to consider. 

The metrics for nonprofits differ because the end goal is impact, not profit. To create positive change, nonprofit apps use an innovative mix of:

• Grant or donor funding
• Technology
• Education
• Community engagement

According to Brad Weber, CEO of InspiringApps, that cost difference can become the difference between having an app and not having an app—as many nonprofits know too well:

“Our client received project bids that were six figures, which the nonprofit could not afford. With some creative app architecture, we were able to deliver an app for a fraction of that cost, which they were able to fund with government grants.” 

A holistic approach addresses a user’s relationship with a mobile product and their user journey from start to finish. The challenge to deliver the innovation needed for the product’s success enabled our team’s creative solutions to come alive—and deliver the immersive experience at a cost that made the project possible.

To create cost-effective yet innovative solutions, focus on the core features. Instead of building everything from scratch, explore existing tools, APIs, or software development kits (SDKs) that integrate with your app. This approach can save development time and costs while providing the necessary functionality.

InspiringApps is driven by the opportunity to design technical solutions for causes that help our community. Building an app can ensure your organization’s core mission is front, back, and center. Keeping costs down and creating an impactful app is within reach. 

InspiringApps has built beautiful and engaging apps for not-for-profit organizations. We are dedicated to helping local organizations and not-for-profit clients bring their web and mobile app ideas to life at an affordable cost. Our goal is to support the growth and prosperity of our community.

Boulder, CO—In the latest article from Built In Colorado, InspiringApps’ Director of Marketing, Stephanie Mikuls, joins other leaders in sharing how companies can cultivate employee trust through an open and transparent culture.

Encouraging a culture of transparency is a continual, intentional process at InspiringApps. We set and share our goals at the beginning of the year, so our employees feel confident about the future. But we also report on our progress against those goals and continuously encourage feedback.

In addition to being a marketing director, I’m also a photographer—and that lens makes me very aware of the “vibe in the room.” As a leader, I strive to create a positive environment and communicate respectfully and genuinely. That includes little moments, big moments, and everything in between—whether it’s through a Slack channel, on a weekly sync, or at a formal company meeting.

The more my team sees open communication from me, the more likely they are to model that behavior too. Add to that including the team in decision-making, and everyone can feel free to ask what’s on their minds, no matter the topic.

How do you make yourself available to employees so that they can ask relevant questions?

As a best practice, we employ many channels to provide feedback: anonymously, one on one, in team brainstorming sessions, individual reviews, regular town halls, surveys, and more. But what’s important, regardless of the method of communication, is to truly invite everyone to join, participate, and be heard. Otherwise, we’re not really making ourselves available to others.

In our industry, open and inclusive conversations don’t just make for good company culture. They make us more empathetic and effective designers and developers. Our products are truly better when a collective “sharing of thoughts” occurs. So we’ve cultivated an open, inclusive environment for years. It’s not just one conversation or meeting—it’s happening all the time. 

To hear as many voices as possible, we make transparency a natural part of the way we approach our jobs. We don’t just want the loudest voice or the most-tenured voice. We’re cognizant of the mix of personalities, preferences, and other unique qualities that individuals on our team may have. There is a day-to-day opportunity for anyone to ask questions and get the answers they need to feel supported in their work.

What tips would you share with fellow leaders who are endeavoring to create a culture of transparency right now?

Approach others with empathy. Make a conscious effort to be open. Empower every individual. Assume positive intent. And constantly seek to improve.

Boulder, CO—In the latest article from Built In Colorado, InspiringApps’ Director of Operations, Stacy Griffin, joins other leaders in sharing their career journeys, the lessons they’ve learned, and their advice for other women.

My career journey spans over 20 years in technology, project management, and people management. I started out as a developer at IBM and then moved into a developer lead role, which is when I began managing projects. From there, I pivoted to a formal project management role, which involved interacting with the business, gathering requirements, and managing technical project delivery. I eventually joined InspiringApps as a project manager, applying those same skills.

Recently, I was promoted to director of operations, a new strategic role. I manage people and projects as a member of the leadership team. I’m also involved more on the sales side. My job requires managing a team of developers and overseeing client engagements and project lifecycle and delivery. It requires a lot of communication with clients and developers, both of whom have distinct working styles. To set expectations, I draw from years of experience in listening and applying empathy. I also have a master’s in computer science, which gives me aptitude and credibility with technical audiences.

What advice do you have for other women who manage tech teams or aspire to?

I have two pieces of advice for women who aspire to manage tech teams. First, find a role model. Look for mentors, ask questions and try to learn from the people around you. Secondly, avoid imposter syndrome. You should feel comfortable in your own skin. Remember that you’ve earned your seat at the table.

What’s one important lesson you’ve learned in your time as a leader, and how has that made you a better manager?

I’ve learned that there’s no single right way to manage people. Having the courage to manage in a way that’s comfortable and authentic to my personality allows me to lean into my strengths and improve in areas where I need to grow. 

It’s also important to know that treating people with autonomy and respect builds trust. People appreciate it when you’re honest and open. I’m not a micromanager, and I naturally take the role of supporting people. I’ve learned to combine open dialog with frequent check-ins. Bringing my authentic self to work makes me a better manager.

The company is doubling down on its commitment to its local communities as well as diversity, equity, and inclusion with IA Commits.

Boulder, CO—InspiringApps, a premier software and app development company, introduces IA Commits, a new way to support non-profit organizations important to the InspiringApps team.

The IA Commits vision sprouted from InspiringApps employee feedback during a recent Great Place to Work® employee engagement survey. The team, which includes highly-experienced, tenured software developers, designers, and creatives, wanted to give back to the communities in which they live while offering mentorship opportunities and experience for underrepresented software developers without a computer science degree or comparable industry experience.

IA Commits provides an affordable option for local organizations, limited-budget, and not-for-profit clients to bring their web and mobile app dreams to life. With this program, clients can expect a high-quality digital product developed in collaboration with up-and-coming developers and the InspiringApps experienced development team for a fraction of the cost of typical projects.

“Company culture is essential to us. So when our employees provide feedback, we listen. IA Commits is a testament to our creative problem-solving and our commitment to serving our communities and aspiring software developers,” said Brad Weber, President and CEO of InspiringApps. “IA Commits supports our core values of inclusion and integrity, and we’re honored to be able to give back.”

The program also aims to change the face of today’s tech industry by providing career and training opportunities to underrepresented aspiring developers and coders.

“Finding your first job as a professional developer can be a challenge. Many companies favor candidates with years of experience and a computer science degree,” Stacy Griffin, Director of Operations, said. “With IA Commits, we’re filling gaps in coding knowledge and providing mentorship and experience to new developers on real client projects. We also help build the soft skills that are so important: team collaboration, client service, and managing business challenges.”

The new training program prepares developers to service clients by helping our communities. IA Commits will be tailored for each candidate to enhance their skill set, and these developers will work under the guidance and supervision of InspiringApps’  seasoned experts on exciting and fulfilling projects for nonprofits, local businesses, community initiatives, and more. It is a win for the developers, clients, and InspiringApps.

InspiringApps is searching for outstanding organizations that serve the communities where we work and live. We’d love to discuss your modest web and mobile app needs to see if it might be a match for our IA Commits development.

InspiringApps recently celebrated its 15th birthday. Over the years, its leaders have rolled out various initiatives to boost employee engagement and retention.

Boulder, CO—InspiringApps’ Director of Operations, Stacy Griffin, joins thought leaders from top Colorado tech companies Tipico, Ball Aerospace, and SumUp to shape the conversation around retaining engineering talent, in this new article from Built In Colorado.

Engineers come to InspiringApps for the diversity of clients, collaborative team atmosphere, and attractive benefits package. Engineers build things from the ground up, nimbly and efficiently, and build products that scale to handle thousands of daily users. InspiringApps benefits and perks stand up against any size company. Our employees feel valued because of the compensation packages we provide. 

How We Collaborate: At InspiringApps, we have fine-tuned our tooling and process to provide straightforward means for collaboration. We work 100% remotely, but that doesn’t mean we work alone. Our transition into a remote workforce spanning time zones has been smooth. It has allowed us to attract top engineers no matter where they live. Who we work with makes all the difference, so our teams care deeply about who we hire. We take who we hire very seriously and are even more serious about retaining those people once they are at InspiringApps. 

What Retention Means To Us: We know there is always room for improvement, and we get excited when we have the opportunity to try something new. Open discussion and team feedback around new ideas or initiatives are encouraged. Our annual Great Place to Work survey enables engineers to voice their opinions anonymously. We use the data we collect to make improvements. Engineers enjoy the variety of work we offer at InspiringApps and our dedication to improving. 

Boulder, CO—In the latest article from Built In Colorado, InspiringApps President & CEO Brad Weber shares the growth plans at InspiringApps and what the company is looking for in top candidates.

Backed by exceptional talent, InspiringApps helps world-class brands design and develop Android and iOS web apps and custom software solutions. With a portfolio of more than 200 apps, the company is well-positioned to help other companies’ internal teams employ best practices. InspiringApps is also launching its IA Commits initiative to provide career opportunities for less experienced developers while serving nonprofit organizations. 

Where InspiringApps is headed: The company has spent the last two years honing their skills for anticipated growth, and the team is now designing better quality products, quicker than before. “I am excited about the growth, not for growth’s sake, but because we’ve invested time and talent to prepare our people and processes to support it,” said President and CEO Brad Weber. This growth, especially in the fintech industry, has increased demand for talent in Flutter, JavaScript, Kotlin, React and Swift. “We are growing our development teams, and new team members will join a cohesive group of professionals who have served clients together for years,” said Weber.

Who InspiringApps is looking to hire: The InspiringApps team is looking to find people who exemplify three characteristics: curiosity, humility and empathy. Designers, developers, project managers and testers “all benefit from being curious about what works, what doesn’t and why,” explained Weber. “In order to keep up with the latest advances across our disciplines, we have to be curious about new tools and techniques.” Humility relates to the ability to learn and grow from mistakes. “Confidence is valued, but there is no place for ego on our team,” he said. Finally, having empathy when working with customers is a gamechanger, Weber explained. “Team members who care about the people using the products we create will craft considerably better solutions than those who don’t.”

BOULDER, CO -- After nearly a decade and a half of the same look and feel, InspiringApps is glowing up–and it only took pivot to remote work for inspiration to strike.

The company, an industry-leading web and mobile app and software solutions group headquartered in Boulder, officially launched an innovative new brand and website encompassing its roots and plans for the future. 

While some companies struggled to work collaboratively and adjust to the new reality of remote teams, the InspiringApps team took on the massive challenge to become more cohesive than before. 

“Emerging from over a year of pandemic isolation and recognizing that InspiringApps had used the same branding for over a decade, it was the perfect time for a change. Our teams are doing amazing work for start-ups and huge enterprises alike. I welcomed a fresh perspective on our logo and color schemes,” Brad Weber, founder and president of InspiringApps shared.

InspiringApps’ new logo reflects the company’s collaborative nature, combining efforts from our UI/UX and marketing teams. 

“We collaborated a lot remotely; we had Slack open, cameras on, and worked from shared Adobe XD artboards, moving elements around while we discussed them. It was a powerful way to leverage technology for a smoother, more collaborative process,” Becca Collins, UI/UX designer, explains.

“Somehow, working remotely with shared screens produced even better results than we could have achieved if we were in the same office,” Aaron Lea, Art Director, noted.

The team started with a concept that encapsulated the InspiringApps foundation: the original location in Boulder, Colorado, the code that developers use to build web and mobile apps, and the core values the team holds at the center of everything they do.

Designers visually translated these elements into three simplified shapes: a triangle to encompass the mountainous Flatirons of Boulder, and a semicolon and less-than symbol representing code. Designers merged the three symbols into an abstract I and A–the company’s abbreviated initials–for a unique and meaningful new logo.

Although the company leads with intentional design with clients, rapid growth brought an increased demand for the services and little time for internal branding. For several years, the original design established the InspiringApps brand, but that logo had limitations. 

“The logo served us well initially, but it was hard to work with. It was time for a change,” Aaron said.

A newly designed dynamic website accompanied the brand’s unveiling. On the new site, visitors can find valuable resources and downloads, case studies, and advice for companies considering a mobile or web app. The site also includes case studies from past clients to inspire new ideas.

“Our goal is to provide a design and web experience that reflects our mission and core values. We’re committed to putting just as much care and intention into your project as we did with our own,” Brad shared.

Boulder, CO – InspiringApps, a premier app design and development provider, announces the addition of Jonathan Laramy to the senior management team as Director of Sales. Jonathan will plan and execute InspiringApps’ sales strategy and continue the company’s steady growth with a focus on enterprise clients.

Jonathan has deep experience navigating complex sales cycles with multiple project owners at all levels of the organization. With a successful history of establishing and nurturing long-term relationships with strategic customers, Jonathan brings loyalty, integrity, and transparency to the InspiringApps organization.

“InspiringApps has enjoyed steady organic growth for years. I’m excited that Jonathan will help to accelerate that growth, especially with enterprise customers, which has been the source of much of our new business in recent years. Jonathan’s style and approach to sales are very much aligned with our practices at InspiringApps,” Brad Weber, president and CEO of InspiringApps, said.

“App development has so much potential to improve customer experiences and help companies communicate better with their teams. I’m honored to be a part of InspiringApps, and looking forward to bringing innovative solutions to more enterprise companies,” Jonathan said.

Jonathan’s experience spans various industries, including retail, manufacturing, on-demand services, real estate, property management, and music. Jonathan launched his career as a key sales manager at Move.com, one of the most successful dotcom companies of the early 2000s, and has enjoyed a successful career in sales in more than a half-dozen companies.

AUSTIN, TX (March 13, 2018) – InspiringApps, an award-winning mobile app design and development company headquartered in Boulder, announced today that they have opened a second office in Austin, TX. The office is housed within Capital Factory, a co-working space with a focus on creating community among entrepreneurs and tech innovators.

“As we considered potential locations for expansion, Austin quickly rose to the top of our list,” said Brad Weber, President and CEO of InspiringApps. “The vibrant entrepreneurial, start-up, and tech community is energizing, and the University of Texas fosters a culture of learning. In many ways, Austin shares the innovative, communal atmosphere of Boulder that we love.”

In addition to participating in the strong start-up community present in Austin, InspiringApps is excited to be in relatively close proximity to Dallas and Houston. Both of these major metropolitan areas are rich with high-tech Fortune 500 companies. “While technology already enables us to work with clients from across the nation, we are excited to be in closer proximity to other industry hubs,” stated Weber. “We currently enjoy working with a range of clients, from start-ups to some of the world’s largest companies, and we expect that our new office in Austin will enable us to maintain that mix.”

Despite its rapid growth, Austin has kept its roots and continues to draw talented people committed to maintaining a sustainable work-life balance. The company expects to benefit from the area’s diverse high-tech talent pool as it grows.
