Mobile App Development

Mobile apps made for real everyday use

We design and build apps for iPhone and Android, including sign-in, payments, notifications and the system behind the app. We also help decide whether an app is needed at all.

We design for iPhone and Android and manage submission. Apple and Google approve apps.

What’s included

The app and the systembehind it, planned together.

The app, the system behind it, store preparation and updates after launch are planned together. Sign-in, payments and notifications are designed alongside the screens, not bolted on later.

  • iOS and Android apps

    One app designed for both phones, so every customer is included.

  • Cross-platform apps

    A shared codebase for iPhone and Android, built once rather than twice.

  • MVP apps

    A smaller first version, sometimes called an MVP, to test the idea early.

  • App store setup and launch

    We prepare listings and submit to Apple and Google, who decide approval.

  • Push notifications

    Messages timed around your product, sent only as often as people welcome.

  • Updates and support

    Ongoing updates as phones and operating systems change.

The system behind the app

App or web app

Do you need an app at all?

An app may be right when people need notifications, camera access, location features or offline use. If a link in the browser can do the job well, a web app may cost less and launch sooner.

Apple and Google control store approval. We prepare and submit the app and plan for their review time.

Generic or yours

An app designed for your brand and your users

A no-code builder gets you something quickly, but it looks like everyone else's and bends your users to its limits. We design for your brand and for each person who uses it.

A no-code app builder that looks generic

An app designed for your brand, dependable on real phones in real hands.

One clunky app serving staff and customers at once

The right experience for each type of user, kept simple for everyone.

Locked to a platform and accounts you do not control

Published under your own store accounts. The app and code are yours.

Fixed features you cannot change as you learn

Notifications and features shaped by how customers use the app, and easy to adjust.

How we work

A clear path from first message to launch.

The same process every time, adapted where the work needs it. You see progress at every step.

  1. 01

    Phase 01

    First chat

    We learn your business, your customers and what the app needs to do for them, before anyone draws a screen.

  2. 02

    Phase 02

    Plan and price

    A written plan of the scope and price, agreed before development starts. App store and third-party fees are listed separately.

  3. 03

    Phase 03

    Design

    You see the real screens early and can react before anything is built, when changes are cheap to make.

  4. 04

    Phase 04

    Build

    A working build on a real phone for you to try at regular checkpoints, rather than a black box.

  5. 05

    Phase 05

    Launch and support

    We prepare and submit the app to Apple and Google, then keep it running and improving after release.

Before you enquire

The questions business owners usually ask.

If yours isn't here, just ask. A real person replies within one business day.

  • No. For most businesses we build one app from a shared codebase that runs on both, so you do not pay to build the same thing twice. Building for one platform only suits a few apps that rely on the newest phone features.

  • Yes. The screens are what people see, but most of the work is the system behind them, sometimes called the backend, where your data lives and orders are handled. Building both together stops the first version becoming a throwaway.

  • We prepare the listings and manage submission, including any back and forth with Apple and Google during review. The store accounts are set up in your name. Approval stays with the stores, so we plan for review time rather than promising a date.

  • Often, yes. If the system behind your website is sound, we can reuse it and build the app on top. Where reaching people quickly matters more than phone features, an app that opens in the browser can be the quicker, cheaper answer.

  • Yes. Phones and app stores keep changing, so an app needs updates to keep working even without new features. We offer an ongoing support arrangement for updates, fixes and small improvements.

  • Every app is different, so we quote your project in writing. We agree the work and price before development starts, and explain the cost of any scope change before doing the extra work. App store and third-party fees are listed separately.
