Mobile apps with a plan for after launch

iOS and Android builds with a proper plan for what happens after launch.

The problem

Where mobile app development usually goes wrong

An app is not a one off purchase, it is a product that needs maintaining. Plenty of agencies will build one, hand it over, and disappear. Then iOS updates, the store rejects an old build, nobody has downloaded it in months, and the investment is written off. The build is the easy part.

What is included

What you get with Mobile App Development

Most apps fail quietly after launch because nobody planned for updates, support or getting people to use them. We build with that in mind from the first conversation.

01

Scoping and requirements

What the app is for, who uses it, and honestly whether you need an app at all.

02

User flows

Every screen and journey mapped before design starts.

03

Interface design

Designed to your brand and to the conventions each platform expects.

04

iOS and Android build

Native or cross platform depending on what the app actually needs, explained in plain terms.

05

Backend and APIs

The server side, integrations and data handling built and documented.

06

Testing

Real device testing across screen sizes and OS versions before anything reaches a store.

07

Store submission

App Store and Play Store listings, assets and review process handled for you.

08

Analytics

So you can see what people actually do once they are in.

09

Post launch plan

A written plan and quote for maintenance, updates and support before you commit.

How it works

The four steps

How a Mobile App Development engagement actually runs, from the first audit to the monthly call.

01

Scope

Requirements, flows and a fixed quote before any build work starts.

02

Design

Screens designed and signed off platform by platform.

03

Build and test

Development with regular demos, then real device testing.

04

Launch and support

Store submission, launch, then the agreed support arrangement.

Timing

What you get, and when

No vague “results take time”. Here is what lands, and roughly when.

Week 1 to 2

Scope, user flows, fixed quote

Week 3 to 5

Interface design for every screen

Week 6 to 12

Build, backend, integrations, testing

Launch

Store submission, analytics, support plan in writing

Pricing

How pricing works

We quote every engagement on its own terms. What moves the number is how competitive your sector is, how much ground there is to cover, and how much we are producing each month. There is no setup fee and no minimum term.

You get an exact figure in the free growth plan, in writing, before you commit to anything.

FAQ

Mobile App Development questions

Often not. If your users would be served just as well by a fast mobile website, we will say so. An app makes sense when you need offline use, push notifications, device hardware, or genuinely repeat daily use.

Both for most consumer apps. We will look at your audience data and tell you if starting with one makes more sense.

Three to six months for most projects, from scoping to store approval. We will give you a schedule with the fixed quote.

Apps need maintenance. Budget for store fees, hosting and a support arrangement. We put all of that in writing before you commit so there are no surprises.

You do, in full, including the repository. It is handed over at the end of the project.

Sometimes. It depends on how it was built and documented. We will review it and give you an honest answer.
