App or website — an honest answer
If most of your customers find you once and never return, a fast website is usually the better investment — and we design those free. An app pays off when the same customers book, order or visit regularly. We’ll tell you which is right, even if it means a smaller project.
How it works
From first chat to live in the stores
The first two steps are free. You only commit when you’ve seen your app and agreed a fixed price.
- 1
Free discovery call
A relaxed 30–45 minute video call about your customers, what the app must do and what success looks like. No charge and no obligation.
Free — no commitment
- 2
Free design concept
We design key screens of your app and share a clickable prototype you can tap through on your own phone — free, with no commitment.
Free — no commitment
- 3
Fixed-price build
Agree a fixed-price quote and we build in short sprints, sending you test builds via TestFlight (iPhone) and Google Play internal testing (Android).
- 4
App Store & Google Play submission
We prepare store listings, screenshots, privacy details and submit to Apple and Google under your own developer accounts, handling any review feedback.
- 5
Care, updates & growth
Optional monthly care: OS updates, bug fixes, monitoring, hosting for your app’s back end and small improvements as your business grows.
Technology
Modern, proven tools
We choose the stack that fits your app and budget — and explain the choice in plain English. Everything is documented and handed over to you.
Pricing
Honest, fixed-price quotes
A loyalty card and a multi-branch ordering system are very different projects, so we don’t publish one app price. We design a free concept, agree the scope, then quote a fixed price — no hourly surprises.

An honest answer
App, website — or both?
We build both, so we’ll tell you straight which one will actually pay off for your business.
A better website first
- Most customers find you once, via Google, maps or social media
- You want more new enquiries, calls and quotes
- Budget is tight — and we design websites free
- You don’t yet have a fast, mobile-friendly site
An app makes sense
- The same customers book, order or visit regularly
- Rewards, saved details or reminders would help them
- Your team needs a tool on site or on the road
- You already have a website that brings in new customers
FAQ
App questions, answered
Often a fast, mobile-friendly website is the right first step — it is found on Google and costs less. An app makes sense when customers come back regularly: bookings, loyalty, re-ordering, notifications or tools your team uses every day. We’ll tell you honestly which fits.
Every app is different, so we don’t publish one price. After a free discovery call and a free design concept, we give you a fixed-price quote for the agreed scope — no hourly surprises. Starting prices for our discovery workshop and care plan are listed on our pricing page.
At the time of writing, Apple’s Developer Program costs US$99 a year (billed in local currency) and Google Play charges a one-off US$25 registration fee. If you sell digital content inside the app, the stores take a commission — commonly 15% for smaller businesses on their reduced-rate programmes and 30% otherwise. Physical goods and real-world services, such as table bookings, haircuts or food orders, can usually take normal card payments instead. We check the current terms for your app before you commit.
It depends on scope. As a typical guide, a focused first version (for example bookings or a loyalty card) often takes around 8–12 weeks from approved design to store submission, and larger apps with accounts, payments and integrations often take 3–6 months. Apple and Google reviews usually take a few days. We give you a realistic timeline with your fixed-price quote.
Yes. Apple and Google release major operating-system updates every year, and devices, libraries and store rules change. Our optional App care plan covers updates, fixes, monitoring and back-end hosting so your app keeps working — and you can cancel it at any time.
