Develop Simple was founded in Rome in 2016 by an engineer who spent a decade watching agencies overcomplicate everything — bloated tech stacks, unnecessary features, and codebases that nobody could maintain six months later. We started this studio to prove that the best web development is the simplest.
We are a tight team of six: three full-stack engineers, a UI designer, a project manager, and a QA specialist. We take on eight projects at a time — deliberately — because every project deserves focused attention, not a stretched-thin team juggling twenty clients simultaneously.
Over 310 projects shipped. Average load time under 1.6 seconds. 99.9% uptime across all hosted clients. Our philosophy is straightforward: build exactly what is needed, build it well, document it thoroughly, and make sure anyone can maintain it after we are gone. No vendor lock-in. No hidden complexity. No proprietary tools. Just solid web development that works reliably and scales gracefully.
Simplicity Is the Goal
Every line of code must justify its existence. Complexity is the enemy of reliability — we fight it at every turn and in every decision.
Ship, Then Iterate
A working product in user hands beats a perfect mockup in Figma every time. We launch fast, measure results, and improve based on real data.
No Lock-In. Ever.
You own your code, your domain, your data, your hosting account. Walk away any time. Another developer should understand our work on day one.
