Who You Work with on Your App

There is no ticket queue here. A small named team looks after you, and this is what the working relationship looks like from one week to the next.

One Named Lead

Delivery belongs to a named project lead who answers the phone. A bench of iOS, Android and cross-platform engineers, designers and QA stands behind that person, so you gain extra capacity without hiring it yourself.

Updates You Can Follow

Video calls, or in-person meetings when arranged, are backed up by short written updates between them. They tell you what was decided, what changed and what we need back from you.

Alongside Your Team

Your product owner, your designers, any in-house developers and any supplier already involved all work with us. Documentation is clear and handover is tidy, so your own people can carry on running things.

Apps We Build for Manchester Sectors

Each sector pulls an app in its own direction. Here is where we tend to start with each one, and what we plan for first.

Logistics and Supply Chain

How we help
Driver, dispatch and proof-of-delivery apps.
Plan for
Offline working and patchy mobile signal

Financial Services and Insurance

How we help
Client portals, quote tools and claims apps.
Plan for
Protected sign-in and a full audit trail

Manufacturing

How we help
Shop-floor inspection and maintenance apps.
Plan for
Scanners, tablets and shared devices

Healthcare

How we help
Booking, referral and patient messaging apps.
Plan for
Sensitive health data and accessible design

Property and Construction

How we help
Viewing, snagging and site-reporting apps.
Plan for
Photos, maps and work without signal

Education

How we help
Learning, attendance and parent apps.
Plan for
Accessibility and safeguarding rules
Your legal and compliance teams take the compliance decisions. Our part is to build the app so they can review how it handles data.

iOS, Android or Both? A Plain-English Guide

What you need depends on who your users are, how much you can spend and which features you want. Here is the way we compare the four.
Option

Native iOS

iOS app development
Pick it when
The bulk of your users own iPhones, or you want features that only Apple provides.
Watch for
Android users need a second build.
Option

Native Android

Android app development
Pick it when
Your audience is mostly Android, or the app has to work close to the hardware.
Watch for
iPhone users need a second build.
Option

Cross-Platform

Flutter and React Native
Pick it when
You would like iOS and Android from one codebase, and you’re watching the budget.
Watch for
Features that depend on special hardware can need native code.
Option

Web App or PWA

Web application development
Pick it when
People won’t download anything, or you want proof of demand before building more.
Watch for
A thinner set of device features, and no place in the stores.
Not sure which? Many teams go cross-platform first and write native code only where a single feature insists.

What We Check Before an App Goes to the Stores

Store review catches out plenty of first releases, so we work down this checklist before we submit.
Read the Current Guidelines

Apple's App Review Guidelines →

Features compared with Apple’s App Review Guidelines and Google Play rules
Permission prompts and privacy wording kept short and clear
Crash and speed testing on a varied set of real devices
Login, payment and account deletion tried end to end
Accessibility checked for text size, contrast and screen reader use
Analytics and crash reporting working before the first release
Listing copy, screenshots and ratings prompts all drafted
An update plan that names who answers reviews and ships fixes

What Shapes the Cost of an App

One app can be a modest booking tool and another a full marketplace, so we leave prices off the page and quote in writing after a call. Six factors move the effort most.

Platforms

↑ Costs more when
you need two native apps
↓ Costs less when
a single cross-platform codebase serves both stores

Features

↑ Costs more when
payments, chat, maps and offline mode are all needed
↓ Costs less when
the first release focuses on one core journey

Design

↑ Costs more when
you want bespoke animation and a complete brand system
↓ Costs less when
well-tested interface patterns fit your brand

Integrations

↑ Costs more when
it must connect to legacy systems or bespoke APIs
↓ Costs less when
the links use standard APIs with good documentation

Back End

↑ Costs more when
real-time data, admin tools and analytics must be built
↓ Costs less when
a back end that already exists can be reused

Compliance

↑ Costs more when
sensitive data is held or formal audits apply
↓ Costs less when
nothing sensitive is stored

Hire Mobile App Developers

Match the engagement to your stage. A founder’s first release suits a fixed build, while a product team adding capacity suits dedicated developers.

Fixed Price Build

Scope, milestones and cost are pinned down before work begins.
Suits
Tight requirements and a set budget

Time and Material

You pay for the hours worked and reshuffle priorities at the start of each sprint.
Suits
Products that will shift as you learn

Dedicated Developers

Mobile developers, QA and a designer if needed, working inside your sprints and tools.
Suits
Long roadmaps
Hire Dedicated Developers

How to Choose an App Development Company

On paper, proposals look much the same. These seven questions show how a team works from one day to the next.
01

Who Will Build My App?

Listen for
Names and roles, not an airy promise about a team.
02

Can I See Working Builds Early?

Listen for
A demo you can install after every sprint.
03

Who Owns the Code and the Store Accounts When We Finish?

Listen for
You do, and the contract says it in clear words.
04

What If the Previous Supplier Left the App Half Finished?

Listen for
A code and architecture review first, then a plan you can read.
05

What Happens After Launch?

Listen for
Support, monitoring and an update plan stated up front.
06

Can You Work with Our Product Owner or In-House Team?

Listen for
Yes, through shared tools, stand-ups and code review.
07

Will You Tell Me When an App Isn't the Answer?

Listen for
Yes, with a web app or an existing tool compared fairly.

How We Run an App Project

Six stages, each closing with something you can review. How long they run varies with the complexity of the app.
01

Discovery

About a week of workshops that map your users, goals and constraints.
02

Scoping and UX

Typically one to two weeks, resulting in a scope, user flows and a quote.
03

Design and Prototype

Around two weeks building a clickable prototype that you can test with actual users.
04

Sprint Builds

Short sprints, each ending with an installable build.
05

Testing and Store Readiness

A testing phase of around four weeks across devices, performance and store rules.
06

Launch and Iterate

We release, monitor and draw up a roadmap for the next versions.
Each stage ends with something you can review.

The Villas Mooloolaba

Hospitality / Boutique Vacation Rental
The Villas Mooloolaba does the hard part well – four unique two-bedroom villas around a shared pool on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast. The website wasn’t carrying its weight: competing against hotel chains and OTA listings meant direct booking had to feel just as easy, and guests couldn’t easily compare all four villas.
