# Service / Mobile App Development

## Apps that people _actually use_

We design and develop native and cross-platform mobile applications that solve real problems, delight users, and deliver measurable business value.

## What's Included

### From idea to App Store

01

#### iOS & Android

Native Swift/Kotlin or cross-platform React Native — we choose the right technology for your budget, timeline, and performance needs.

02

#### UX-First Design

We prototype and user-test before writing a single line of code. Your app will feel intuitive from the first tap.

03

#### Backend & APIs

Robust server infrastructure, database design, and API integrations to power your app's features reliably at scale.

04

#### Push Notifications

Engage users with targeted, timely notifications. We implement smart segmentation and scheduling to drive retention without being intrusive.

05

#### App Store Optimisation

Keyword research, compelling screenshots, and optimised listings to maximise downloads on both the App Store and Google Play.

06

#### Maintenance & Updates

OS updates, bug fixes, feature iterations, and performance monitoring. We keep your app running smoothly long after launch.

## Our Process

### How we deliver results

#### Concept & Scope

We validate your idea, define the feature set, and map user flows. You get a clear spec and realistic timeline before development begins.

#### Design & Prototype

Interactive prototypes let you tap through the experience. We refine until the UX feels effortless and the UI matches your brand.

#### Agile Development

Two-week sprints with demo builds you can test on your phone. Transparent progress, no black-box development.

#### Launch & Iterate

We handle app store submissions, monitor analytics from day one, and plan the next wave of features based on real user data.

## FAQ

### Common questions

**Should I build native or cross-platform?**  
Cross-platform (React Native) suits most projects — one codebase, both platforms, lower cost. Native is better for performance-intensive or hardware-dependent apps.

**How much does an app cost?**  
Simple apps start around £1,500. Feature-rich applications with backend systems typically range from £25,000–£80,000+.

**How long does app development take?**  
An MVP typically takes 8–12 weeks. Full-featured apps with complex backends can take 4–6 months.

**Do you handle app store submissions?**  
Yes — we manage the entire submission process for both Apple App Store and Google Play, including compliance and listing optimisation.
