For founders and operators who have outgrown off-the-shelf tools

We build the app when a website can't do the job on its own.

Who it's for

This is built for you if

  • A workflow that genuinely needs to live on a phone, offline, in someone's pocket, away from a desk.
  • Founders with an app idea who need someone who'll scope it honestly before building it.
  • Businesses whose existing platform needs a mobile front end, not a rebuild from scratch.
What you get

Deliverables

  • A scoped brief that says plainly whether an app is the right answer, or whether a website would do the job
  • A working app for the platforms your users are actually on
  • Testing on real devices before anything goes to an app store
  • Submission and handover, so you're not locked out of your own listing
How it connects

Part of the same system

  • Custom Software

    Most apps sit on top of a platform we can build or connect to on the same project.

Process

How it works

  1. 01

    Scoping call

    We work out honestly whether an app is the right build, or whether a website would solve the same problem for less.

  2. 02

    Design and build

    We design for the platforms your users are actually on, and build in stages so you see working screens early.

  3. 03

    Testing and submission

    We test on real devices, then handle app store submission and handover so the listing stays yours.

Pricing

We give a clear figure on the first call, and it doesn’t move after that.

FAQ

Questions worth asking upfront

Do we need an app, or would a website do?

We'll tell you honestly on the scoping call, a lot of app ideas are better served by a fast website, and we'd rather say so upfront.

Which platforms do you build for?

iOS and Android, chosen based on where your actual users are rather than building for both by default.

Do you handle the app store submission?

Yes, including the account set-up if you don't already have one, and the listing stays under your ownership.

Can the app connect to a platform you didn't build?

Usually, yes, we'll review what's there on the scoping call and tell you plainly if it needs work first.
