Specialist Service
Mobile App Creation
A custom iOS and Android app built around your business, owned by you, not rented from a platform.
The Problem
You've outgrown generic software and need something your customers or field team can use on their phone, but off-the-shelf apps either don't exist or charge you per user forever for something that almost fits.
What I Do
I design and build native iOS and Android apps owned by you. Whether it's a customer-facing tool, a field operations app, or a workflow system your team uses on site, built to your spec, not a vendor's template.

- Handover so your team can publish future updates
How It Works
-
Strategy Session
We establish whether an app is genuinely the right solution. Sometimes a mobile-responsive website is faster and cheaper.
-
Design & Prototype
UI/UX design with a clickable prototype you can test before development begins.
-
Development
Iterative builds with regular demos: you see and test the app throughout the process.
-
App Store Submission
I handle the Apple and Google submission process, including review responses if needed.
-
Launch & Support
30 days post-launch support to resolve any issues before you're fully on your own.
Common Questions
Do I need an app or would a website do?
For most trades, a mobile-responsive website is sufficient. An app makes sense for repeat-use workflows, field teams, or unique tools customers would return to regularly.
How long does it take?
Basic app: 3–6 months. More complex apps take longer; I'll give a realistic timeline after discovery.
What does it cost to maintain after launch?
Budget for quarterly maintenance for iOS/Android OS compatibility updates, typically a few hours per quarter.
Can you get it into the App Store?
Yes. Submission is included. I handle the review process and any rejections.
Will it work offline?
Can be built to work offline: depends on what the app does. We'll design for your specific use case.
Who owns the app?
You do, 100%. All code, designs, and app store accounts transfer to you on completion.
Can you build for one platform first?
Yes: iOS or Android first, then the other platform later is a common and cost-effective approach.
Can the app connect to my website or CRM?
Yes. API integrations built in as standard. If it has an API, I can connect to it.
How much does it cost?
Depends entirely on scope; tell me what you're solving and budget, and I'll give you an honest picture.

“He didn't just build my website, he transformed the way my company operates. His insights helped me maximise my potential, and his support has been invaluable.”
Investment
App scope varies enormously. A simple internal tool is a very different build to a full customer-facing product. Tell me what you're trying to solve; I'll tell you honestly whether an app is the right answer and at what level.
