Mobile App Development
Applications for iOS and Android that behave the way each platform expects, from one codebase where that makes sense.
What you get.
For teams with a product idea that needs testing on real devices before it justifies a full build.
An app is a commitment, not a campaign. It needs updating when the operating systems change, whether or not anyone is using it. We help you work out whether you need one at all, then build the smallest version that proves the idea.
That first release is scoped to the journeys that matter and nothing else. Once it is in people's hands, real usage decides what comes next, which is a far better guide than a feature list written before launch.

Product definition and feature scoping
-
Cross platform builds for iOS and Android
-
Offline first data and sync
-
Authentication, payments and push notifications
-
App Store and Play Store submission
-
Release management and version support
What is included.
-
An honest recommendation first
If the job can be done by a fast mobile site, we will say so before you spend on a build. We would rather quote you for the right thing than the bigger thing.
-
A clickable prototype
The core flow tested on a real device before development starts, so the expensive decisions are made while they are still cheap to change.
-
One shared codebase
iOS and Android built from the same logic, with platform conventions respected on each rather than one look forced onto both.
-
Store submission handled
Listings, screenshots, privacy declarations and review notes prepared and submitted, including the resubmissions that reviews sometimes require.
-
A plan for release two
Crash monitoring and analytics from day one, so the next version is decided by evidence.
The problem
Apps are commissioned as a full feature list, launched once, and then left because nobody planned or budgeted for the second release. Within a year the app breaks on a new OS version, the store delists it, and the investment is gone.
How we solve it
We scope to a first release that earns its place on a home screen, ship it, then use real usage to decide what comes next. Maintenance is planned and quoted from the start rather than discovered later.
What that means for you.
-
Native behaviour
Navigation, gestures and typography follow each platform's own conventions rather than fighting them, so the app feels familiar immediately.
-
One codebase
Shared logic across iOS and Android keeps the build and every later change affordable.
-
Works offline
Data is cached and synced, so the app stays useful where signal does not, which matters more here than in most markets.
-
Ready for review
Store assets, privacy declarations and screenshots are prepared as part of the build, not scrambled together at the end.
How it runs.
In order. You know what happens next at every point.
Start a project-
01
Define
We map the user journeys that matter and cut everything that does not serve them, then agree what the first release has to prove.
-
02
Prototype
A clickable build of the core flow, tested on a real device in the hand of someone who is not on the project.
-
03
Build
Two week increments, each ending in a build you can install and use, so progress is something you hold rather than read about.
-
04
Submit
Store assets, review notes and privacy declarations prepared and submitted, with resubmissions handled.
-
05
Support
Crash monitoring, OS updates and a planned path for the next release.
Selected work.
Questions.
- iOS and Android, or one first?
- We usually build both from a shared codebase. Where budget is tight, we start with the platform your audience already uses and add the other once the idea is proven.
- Do we need an app at all?
- Often not. If the job can be done by a fast mobile site, we will say so before you spend on a build.
- Who owns the code?
- You do. The repository and the store accounts are yours from the first commit, registered in your name rather than ours.
- What does maintenance cost?
- It is quoted at the start, not discovered later. Both platforms release annual updates that require attention whether or not you add features.
