Salesforce Development Services

A Salesforce admin owns the declarative layer: page layouts, validation rules, profiles, permission sets, reports, dashboards, and standard Flow automation. A Salesforce developer owns the code layer: Apex classes and triggers, Lightning Web Components, integrations, asynchronous processing, and managed packages. A Salesforce consultant owns the business layer: requirements, process design, change management, and the ability to translate operational pain into a sequenced platform roadmap. Most engagements need at least two of the three, and we staff accordingly. We will say so plainly if your need is fundamentally an admin problem rather than a developer problem.

Yes. We staff every engagement with developers who hold at minimum the Platform Developer I certification, with senior leads holding Platform Developer II and Application Architect or System Architect credentials where the work warrants it. Certifications are a baseline, not a substitute for production experience, so we also share specific shipped work during vendor evaluation. If your procurement process requires a written certification roster for the staffed team, we provide one as part of the SOW.

Most of our engagements are exactly that. Your admin team owns the org and the declarative configuration. We bring developer capacity for the work that admins are not staffed for: complex Apex, LWC, integrations, AppExchange product builds, and Salesforce DX adoption. We work in your sandbox topology, follow your change-set or DX deployment process, and document every commit so handoff back to your team is the default expectation, not an afterthought.

Salesforce blocks production deploys below 75% Apex test coverage, and any team that has been around long enough has watched a deploy stall on a coverage gap nobody owned. We treat the 75% bar as a floor, not a target. Our default is meaningful coverage on business logic and bulk handlers (typically 85% to 95%), with tests written from the user point of view rather than the implementation. We pair this with a CI pipeline using sfdx-cli that runs static analysis, ApexPMD or PMD for Apex, and a test suite against a scratch org on every pull request. Deployments to UAT and production go through Salesforce DX or your change-set process, never directly from a developer console.

A focused engagement (a single integration, a managed package, an Aura-to-LWC migration, or a tightly scoped Apex feature set) usually runs 8 to 16 weeks from kickoff through UAT. Multi-team platform work, large org cleanups, or AppExchange product builds run 4 to 9 months with phased releases. Org-rescue engagements, where the team takes ownership of a debt-heavy org from a prior vendor, start with a 2 to 3 week audit and remediation roadmap before any feature work begins. We document the path before we start it.

Yes. We have shipped first-generation and second-generation managed packages, including AppExchange-listed products. The work spans namespace strategy, package architecture, security review preparation, post-install scripts, upgrade paths, partner business org configuration, and the security review submission itself. The Salesforce security review is a real engineering bar (not a checkbox), and we plan for it during architecture rather than scrambling once a submission rejects.
