Apps people keep on their home screen.

We design and build iOS and Android apps, from the first screen sketch to the store listing, with the same rule as our websites: every screen has one job.

What sinks most apps

  1. Problem: People open it once and never again.

    Fix: A first session that shows the value before it asks for anything.

  2. Problem: Onboarding asks for everything up front.

    Fix: Sign-up only when it is needed, with as few fields as possible.

  3. Problem: It stutters on older phones.

    Fix: Built and tested on mid-range devices, not just the newest ones.

  4. Problem: It does not talk to your other systems.

    Fix: Payments, booking, calendars and your own back end connected through their APIs.

What you get

Scoped first. Released in steps.

Apps fail when they try to do everything at once. We agree the smallest version that is worth using, ship it, and grow it from what people actually do.

  1. Scope

    The problems the app solves, for whom, and the shortest path through it.

    You get a screen map and a written scope.

  2. Design and prototype

    Every screen and state, then a clickable prototype you can put in front of real users.

    You get a prototype to test before any code.

  3. Build

    Weekly builds you can install on your own phone, so nothing is a surprise.

    You get a working app on your phone every week.

  4. Release and grow

    Store submission, launch, and the next round of improvements based on how it is used.

    You get the app in the stores, and a plan for version two.

Before you ask.

Which platforms do you build for?

iOS and Android. We usually build one cross-platform codebase so both stay in step.

Do you design the app as well?

Yes. Design and development are one team, so the app is built the way it was designed.

How long does it take?

It depends on the scope. After a short call we send a written proposal with a fixed price and a timeline, and we agree on both before any work starts.

Can you connect it to our existing systems?

Yes, through their APIs: payment gateways, booking, calendars, analytics or your own back end.

How do you handle security?

Encrypted connections, secure storage of tokens and keys, and only the data the app needs.

Do I own the work when it is finished?

Yes. Once the project is complete and paid for, the design, code and content are yours.

What happens after launch?

We stay on for maintenance, updates and technical support, and we measure the site again so you can see what changed.
