Services / App development
Mobile and web products, from validated prototype to store release.
We take an app from a clickable prototype to a launched product on iOS, Android and the web, with accounts, payments and the analytics to learn from real users.
The problem
The biggest risk is building the wrong thing.
Most early apps fail because they try to do too much, or because nobody tested the idea with real users before the build started.
We help you define the smallest version worth launching, test it with a prototype, and then build it properly so it can grow.
What we build
Products built to launch and to last.
iOS and Android apps
One codebase that feels native on both platforms, which keeps cost and maintenance down.
Web apps
Installable web apps that work in any browser and on any device.
MVPs for new products
The core experience, launched fast enough to learn from real use.
Accounts and payments
Sign-in, subscriptions, in-app purchases and secure payments.
Companion apps
A mobile app for software or a service you already run.
Store launch and updates
Submission, review, release management and regular updates.
How it works
Validate first, then build properly.
Define the MVP
Agree the users, the one problem to solve and what stays out of version one.
Prototype
A clickable prototype tested with real people before development begins.
Build and test
Development in short cycles, tested on real devices throughout.
Launch and learn
Store submission, analytics and a plan for the first updates.
Our standards
What every app ships with.
Smooth
Fast start-up and responsive screens, tested on older devices too.
Secure
Safe sign-in, encrypted data and careful handling of personal information.
Measured
Analytics and crash reporting from launch, so decisions rest on evidence.
Store ready
Built to meet Apple and Google guidelines to avoid review surprises.
Questions
What clients ask us first.
Do we need separate iOS and Android apps?
Usually not. For most products a single cross-platform codebase delivers both with a native feel, at lower cost.
How long does an app take?
A focused first version typically takes two to four months from approved prototype to store release, depending on scope.
Can you help if we only have an idea?
Yes. We start with a short discovery and prototype stage that turns the idea into a clear scope, screens and an estimate.
Do you handle the app store process?
Yes. We prepare listings, submit the app and handle review feedback.
