Mobile App Development.

iOS and Android apps from one cross-platform codebase, or a progressive web app that installs from the browser — chosen for the job, not the trend.

The problem

Some businesses are told they need an app when a good mobile website would do. Others struggle on with a website when their customers really need something on their phone — that works offline and can send a notification.

Our approach

We start with what the app has to do and who will use it, then choose the route: a cross-platform app for the App Store and Google Play, or a progressive web app that installs straight from the browser. One codebase serves iPhone and Android, connected to a proper backend and the same data as your website or business system.

What you get

Everything included.

The parts of mobile app development we deliver, scoped with you before anything is built.

  • App planning & interactive prototype
  • iOS and Android app from one cross-platform codebase
  • Progressive web app option, installable from the browser
  • Offline use and push notifications where needed
  • Backend, database & secure APIs
  • Connected to your website or business system

Choosing the route

Store app or web app?

Both run on iPhone and Android. The difference is how people get them and what they can do — and it is a decision worth making before anything is built.

  • Store app: found in the App Store and Google Play, with full access to the phone; updates go through store review
  • Progressive web app: installs from the browser in seconds and updates instantly, with no store in between
  • Both: offline use and push notifications, where the phone's platform allows
  • We recommend one after discovery, and tell you why

Ideal for

Where this makes the difference.

  • Customer apps for bookings, orders or accounts
  • Field teams that need to work offline
  • Businesses whose web system needs a phone app
  • Startups testing an idea before a bigger build

FAQ

Frequently asked.

Do you build native apps?

Yes — iOS and Android apps built with modern cross-platform frameworks, so one codebase serves both. Where a progressive web app does the job, we will say so and save you the store overhead.

Can the app share data with our website?

Yes. The backend is built once, and the app, the website and the admin panel all work from it.

Who owns the app?

You do — code, data and accounts, in writing.
