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.
What is Flutter?
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.
Why use Flutter instead of native deployment?
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.
What makes Flutter apps perform so well?
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.
Who uses Flutter?
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.
