Flutter 101: The Basics

At Very Good Ventures, we’re proud to be the world’s leading Flutter development agency, helping enterprises build beautiful, performant, and scalable cross-platform solutions. In this guide, our experts share what Flutter is, how it works, and why partnering with a specialized Flutter agency like VGV helps you get the most out of it.

Flutter is an open-source UI framework created by Google for building natively compiled applications for mobile, web, desktop, and embedded devices—all from a single codebase. It uses the Dart programming language and provides a rich set of customizable widgets that make it easy to build stunning, fast, and responsive interfaces.

Flutter allows developers to build once and deploy everywhere, saving time and resources while maintaining high performance. Its “hot reload” feature speeds up development cycles, and its rendering pipeline and widget abstraction layer ensure consistent UI/UX across platforms. Businesses also benefit from reduced maintenance costs and faster time to market.

Flutter's Ahead-of-time (AOT) compilation to native ARM and x86 code enables fast startup and runtime performance. Flutter does not rely on a JavaScript runtime or bridge, which eliminates common bottlenecks seen in other cross-platform frameworks. Its rendering engine (Skia) ensures smooth animations and high frame rates—even for complex designs.

Major brands such as Google, Toyota, Norwegian Cruise Lines, and The New York Times use Flutter to power apps that reach millions of users. Very Good Ventures itself helped build some of the most high-profile Flutter apps—including the Hamilton: An American Musical app, Universal Destinations & Experiences park map and mobile food & beverage app, and NASCAR team Trackhouse’s app.

Hamilton: An American Musical is the hottest and most successful performance running on Broadway, winning 11 Tony Awards, a Grammy, the Pulitzer Prize in Drama and countless other awards. Since 2015, Lin-Manuel Miranda’s masterpiece has been the most sought out and hardest to get tickets, so the creative team sought to develop a mobile app to streamline entry in the daily ticket lottery. With inclusivity as core to its values, Hamilton wanted to provide the best mobile experience regardless of a user’s device — a perfect fit for Flutter.
