Siteglade builds the same websites and web apps and goes further: mobile apps on every plan, desktop apps, games, and the material around a launch, from the pitch deck to the video.
It also delivers desktop apps, browser games, presentations and documents. Presentations are researched, written and designed with charts and images, and download as PowerPoint or PDF with a list of the sources.
The work is processed in the EU, and even the Free plan lets you take the source along, to GitHub or as a ZIP.
