Aaltra (°2007) is a design and development studio based in Ghent (Belgium). We’re interface design specialists, completely focused on crafting unforgettable User Experiences. And we’re dedicated developers, making products and platforms smarter and easier to use.

Compelling design

Quality design is innovative

We strongly believe that strong design can’t be recycled. That’s why we excel where ready-made templates fall short. For every project we take on, we create new solutions tailored specifically to our customer’s needs.

Well-made design is self-explanatory

Our mission is to bridge the gap between user and technology. We’re deeply fascinated by the challenge of making complex technologies understandable to common users. We believe good design can clarify functionality – it can make a product talk.

Strong design is durable

We’re not your typical hipster designers; trendy stuff goes out-of-date too quickly for our taste. We prefer to create a timeless look&feel that keeps its appeal for years.

Rock solid code

Real code is original

We build brand new, tailor-made code. In the age of open-source code that may seem like an old-fashioned way of working, but it actually makes us faster and more effective. No copy-pasting or messing with other people’s work; we create everything from our own expertise.

Beautiful design needs concrete code

Our code is invisible and does exactly what its users expect. We make it look easy, too. Where other programmers will sigh, give up or propose something second-best, we deliver the exact functionality you asked for.

Sustainable code for the future

Our code is geared to be flexible and easy to adapt. Where a project evolves, the underlying code must follow. Our code can quickly handle that inevitable change, without major structural make-overs. In business terms: any later updates can be handled at a minimum cost and time.

Great personality

Good support is personal

We like to treat our clients the way they deserve to be treated: like kings. We provide personal and quick support. No smooth-talking account executives and project managers; you can talk directly to the guy or gal who’s making your product!

We build long-term relationships

As you’ll see in our portfolio, we regularly work for the same companies and organisations. That’s because we aim for long, productive relationships with them. Rely on us, work with us and we’ll evolve along with you.
