Our Specialties
At Empire State, we pride ourselves on specialising in a multitude of services to help guide our clients throughout the entire project process.
Development
Development is the technical side of a software project. It involves writing a lot of code. Development is divided into two main sections, front-end (client side) and back-end (server side) with application logic typically forming the bridge between these two sections. Development is what we enjoy and what we’re good at.
Quality Assurance (QA)
This is also known as QA or quality control (QC). We take extra care to ensure all our builds are tested for functionality, spelling, grammar and consistency. We perform unit testing (testing specific pieces of functionality), integration testing (testing the piece of software as a whole) and usability testing (testing across multiple devices and viewports) before releasing the project to you.
User Interface Design (UI)
User interface (UI) design speaks to the look and feel of software's user interface. This consists of any item the user interacts with. All visual elements, interactions and animations are designed in-house.
User Experience Design (UX)
User experience (UX) is design that focusses on user behaviour and feelings. We look at everything from the user’s perspective to ensure they never feel frustrated or confused. Good UX is about empathy and caring about the user.
Technical Due Diligence
Are you considering making an investment in a technology company, but need a hand understanding the quality of the technical asset and any potential pitfalls? We can help.

We’ve been assessing codebases and technical solutions for a decade, as well as building and scaling them for businesses - from startups to corporates.

We know what it takes to build, maintain and scale high-quality technology assets, and we can help you understand where your greatest risks lie.
Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Don’t know a CNN from an LLM but know that you could benefit from deeper understanding or organisational efficiency that AI could provide? We can help.

We’ve been leveraging machine learning to build custom models, primarily in the computer vision space, for the last five years. We would love to bring your AI dreams to life.
Where we come from
When the Starret Brothers took on the job of building the Empire State building in Manhattan in 1930, they didn't know how they were going to do it - but they knew it had to be done. The story of the construction of this landmark has always resonated with us. Sometimes we have the dreams but not the tools - and we will never let that stand in our way.
The Empire State Building was finished ahead of schedule and under budget.
The tools to build what they needed didn't exist. So they had to build the tools as they went along. Despite the challenge, the builders carried on, believing they'd figure it out as they went ... and they did.
The skeleton was assembled so fast that the first 30 stories were completed before certain details of the ground floor were finalised.
Starret Brothers and Eken used an assembly line process to erect the new skyscraper in a brisk 410 days.
