App Development Services
Our app development services cover the whole product: Android and iOS apps, web apps, SaaS products, MVPs and the back ends behind them, planned by a technical co-founder and priced before we start.

Eight O Eight
Why app projects go over budget
Most app projects struggle because of scope and process, not code.
Building too much, too early
Months go into features nobody asked for before anyone tests the idea.
No visibility
Weeks pass without a working build, and the deadline slips quietly.
Fragile foundations
A rushed back end without tests makes every new feature slower and riskier.

Custom app development for your business
Custom app development means the app is designed around your users and your process instead of a template. We build customer apps, booking and ordering apps, internal tools and ecommerce app development projects for brands that want a store on their customers’ phones.
For one codebase on both phones we use Flutter or React Native; for the most demanding apps we build natively for Android and iOS.
- Customer and internal apps
- Booking, ordering and shopping apps
- Flutter or React Native
- Native Kotlin and Swift
From small businesses to enterprise
App development for small business owners usually means one job done well, such as bookings, loyalty or orders, launched quickly on a sensible budget. Enterprise app development adds single sign-on, roles, audit logs and connections to your ERP or CRM, and our cloud app development services run it on AWS or Google Cloud with infrastructure that is documented and repeatable.
- Small business MVPs from $1,000
- Single sign-on, roles and audit logs
- ERP and CRM connections
- AWS and Google Cloud
Who builds your app
Every project is planned and reviewed by our technical co-founder, who has led fintech and AI app development, and built by senior developers who work in English during UK and European hours and part of the US day. You talk to the people building your app, with a shared board and a demo you can try every week or two.
