Mobile apps

Native apps for iOS and Android

Native mobile apps built custom for your business - apps your customers or your team install on their phones. We design them, build them and get them into the App Store and Google Play.

Tools I build with

Where an app starts

Built around the people who'll use it

An app lives on someone's home screen next to the ones they use every day. So we start with who they are and what they need to get done, then design the app around that.

What a mobile app project includes

Starts with your users

Before anything gets built, we work out who'll use it and what they need to get done.

edit_note

Words for your users

The copy inside the app, written for the people using it.

phone_iphone

iOS and Android

One app, built for both, so nobody's left out.

Published to the stores

We get it into the App Store and Google Play, which is more work than it sounds.

How a mobile app project works

We work out who it's for and what it needs to do, then design and build it in stages. You'll get a timeline with your quote.

01

Let's chat

Tell us what the app needs to do and who'll use it. We'll turn that into a list of screens and features.

02

Get a quote

One quote for the whole project, with a timeline. Half up front to get started.

03

Research and strategy

Before we design anything, we work out who it's for, what they need to get done and what success looks like for your business.

04

Design and build

We design and build it together, in stages, test it on real phones, and get it into the stores.

It depends on what the app needs to do. After a quick chat you get one quote for the whole project. Half up front to get started, and the other half when it's delivered.

It depends on how many screens and features there are. You'll get a timeline with your quote.

Usually yes, unless you know your users are all on one. We build both from one codebase, so it's not double the work.

If people need it on the go, with notifications or the camera, a native app makes sense. If they'll mostly use it at a desk, a web app might fit better. We'll tell you which.

Yes. Design and build happen together, and both start from research into who'll use it and what they need to get done.
