App development

Mobile and web apps that people keep using, built on one codebase where that makes sense.

01Who it is for

Who it is for

Founders and companies that need an app customers or staff open every day: booking, ordering, field work, or internal tools on the phone.

02The problem

The problem

Apps fail in the details: slow screens, data lost when the signal drops, a sign-up flow that loses half the people who start it, and a store rejection a week before launch.

04How it works4 steps

How it works

  1. Step 1

    Scope and flows

    We map the screens a user moves through and agree what ships in version one.

  2. Step 2

    First build on your phone

    Early in the project you install a working build on your own device.

  3. Step 3

    Build in cycles

    Weekly builds through TestFlight and the Play internal testing track.

  4. Step 4

    Release

    Store submission, fixes from review, and close watch on crashes after launch.

07Questions

Questions buyers ask

Native or cross-platform?

Cross-platform covers most business apps with one codebase. We go native when the app leans hard on the device, such as heavy camera work or background location, and the scope says so.

What happens after launch?

Apps need updates for new OS versions and store rules. We can keep maintaining it month to month, or hand it to your team with documentation.

Can you take over an app someone else built?

Yes. We start with a short code review, then tell you plainly which parts to keep and which to rebuild.
