_apps

From interesting idea to indispensable app

The best products become part of people's routines. We help you shape the right experience, build it for web, iOS and Android, and make sure the technology behind it can support what comes next.

_the_whole_product

The whole product, not just the screens.

Product discovery, interface design, user accounts, data, payments and integrations where required, testing and launch. One joined-up approach to the experience people see and the engineering they don't.

_what_goes_in

Six parts of every app, in the order we do them.

  1. _discovery

    Product discovery

    Who it is for, what they will do with it on a Tuesday, and what has to be true at launch versus later.

  2. _interface

    Interface design

    Screens designed for thumbs and short attention, in your brand, with the empty, loading and error states drawn, not left to chance.

  3. _accounts

    Accounts and sign-in

    Email, social or passkey sign-in, with sessions, recovery and the data protection decisions written down.

  4. _data

    Data and the engine

    The rules of your product in tested code on the server, so the app and the website agree and a figure is never guessed.

  5. _payments

    Payments and integrations

    Subscriptions, purchases, Open Banking, third-party data: connected where the product needs them, and only there.

  6. _launch

    Testing and launch

    Automated tests, real-device checks, store listings and release pipelines, then the monitoring that tells us what to fix first.

_questions

Things people ask us about apps.

Do we need a web app or a mobile app?

Ask what the app needs from the device. If it needs the camera, notifications that reach a locked phone, offline use or a place on the home screen, it is probably a native app. If people will reach it from a link, find it through search, or use it mostly at a desk, a web app is faster to build and easier to change. Many products want both, which is why we build for iOS, Android and web from one codebase: one set of screens, one engine, three places to open it.

Will it be in the App Store and Google Play?

Where an app is intended for iOS and Android, we can support the submission process for both platforms, including store listings, platform requirements and release review.

Can an app talk to our existing systems?

Yes. An app is usually the visible end of something larger: an account system, a database, a payment provider, a line-of-business system you already run. We build the server side that connects them and keeps the app honest about what it shows.

What does it cost to keep an app running?

Less than people fear, but not nothing. Hosting, store accounts, operating-system updates twice a year, and fixing the things real use reveals. We agree a support arrangement before launch so there are no surprises, and we build so that the updates are routine rather than rewrites.
