App development in Gillingham

For businesses in Gillingham, Medway, an app can turn occasional customers into regulars: bookings in a couple of taps, a loyalty card that never gets lost and reminders that arrive at the right moment.

Our approach for Gillingham businesses is simple: we show you a clickable design of your app first, free of charge, then agree a fixed price for the build — no hourly billing surprises.

App ideas for Gillingham businesses

  • Fencing Contractors — On-my-way updates: Automatic “we’re on our way” notifications with an arrival window.
  • Driving Instructors — Lesson booking: Pupils book and pay for lessons and get reminders.
  • Sign Makers — Quote requests with photos: Customers send site photos and measurements for a quote.
  • Cleaning Companies — Cleaner job checklists: Staff tick off tasks and add photos per visit.
  • B&Bs & Guest Houses — Direct booking: Guests book direct — no commission.
  • Car Body Repair Shops — MOT & service booking: Pick a slot, get reminders before the MOT is due and see what work is recommended.

How an app project works for Gillingham businesses

  • 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 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.
  • 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).
  • 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.
  • 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.

iPhone, Android or both?

Customers in Gillingham, like the rest of the UK, use a mix of iPhones and Android phones, so most local businesses need their app on both. A cross-platform build with React Native or Flutter usually gives the best value; native Swift or Kotlin makes sense for specialist features.

In a large town like Gillingham, a loyalty or booking app helps an independent business compete with national chains that already have one.

Frequently asked questions

Do you build apps for businesses in Gillingham?

Yes. We design and develop iOS and Android apps for businesses in Gillingham and across Medway. We work remotely by video call, phone and email, and you test every version on your own phone.

How much does an app cost for a Gillingham business?

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.

What do Apple and Google charge to publish an app?

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.

Who owns the app and the code?

You do. Once the project is paid for, the source code and design files are yours, and the app is published under your own Apple and Google developer accounts. If you ever move to another developer, we hand everything over.
