Graffino

Graffino is a software architecture firm based in Sibiu, Romania, working with startups and enterprises to design and build digital products. The company combines software development with product planning and execution processes, moving from idea refinement through MVP to full product launch. They emphasize functional, responsive, and reliable code as their standard. The team is small and supported by an external network of developers, designers, engineers, and advisors tapped as needed for specific projects or skill gaps.

Services and capabilities

Graffino's core offering splits across frontend, backend, and full-stack development. On the frontend, they favor Vue.js but work fluently in React, Next.js, TypeScript, and Elm. Backend work centers on PHP with Laravel, Ruby, and WordPress. They also handle branding, UX/UI design, and app development for iOS, Android, and cross-platform deployments.

Their mobile network includes developers proficient across every platform. For projects requiring it, they create product roadmaps, build MVPs, and develop full applications. Design work covers UX and UI, from interaction patterns to eye-catching visuals. WordPress is a recurring tool, paired with infrastructure work on AWS when required. They handle custom WordPress development, AWS deployment, and the full technical stack needed to move a product from concept to production.

The firm also works on infrastructure and deployment. One client, Trafalgar Releasing, received custom WordPress development and AWS infrastructure setup. Another, Silver Fern (a greenhouse IoT startup), got React and Next.js with TypeScript. They build products engineered on what they describe as a solid foundation, scalable while keeping applications agile and costs managed.
