About Heady

We offer a multitude of services - strategy, user experience design (UX), user Interface design (UI), software engineering, testing, marketing, analytics, and maintenance - all of which come together to form a successful product.

We use a hybrid model: Our engineers are based in India, while our UX, UI, strategy, and lead management are in the US. We are not an outsourcing agency; having both regular meetings and a local presence is important to us, just as it is to our clients.
