Bringing your app

to life

Bringing your app to life

We’re not only experts in app development, but in the whole staged process from idea generation, specification and design to iterative development and quality testing. We can build your app completely from scratch or work from your existing plans. If needed, we will also develop a full app prototype to help you understand how technology will work, and whether it meets the right needs. Our experienced team work in an agile way, releasing iterations in short cycles, gathering feedback and improving the software until we get the result you’re after.

Discovery and specification

We work closely with you to understand your vision, creating a comprehensive specification that captures both technical requirements and desired outcomes. This foundation ensures we build exactly what you need.

Planning and delivery

Based on your specification, we create a detailed roadmap with clear costings and timelines. Our Agile approach keeps development flexible and responsive, with regular releases for your review and feedback.

Development and testing

Through focused development sprints, we build and rigorously test your app, ensuring every element meets quality standards. We maintain clear communication throughout, keeping you updated on progress and incorporating your input.

Launch and support

We handle the technical complexity of app store submission and deployment, ensuring a smooth launch. Our ongoing support helps your app evolve and grow, with flexible packages to meet your changing needs.

How much does an app cost?

Simple apps can cost as little as £3,000 and games can cost over £200,000, so to get a better idea of the costs for your idea, call us or drop us a line and we will get back to you as soon as possible. We hate the hard sell, so rest easy and get in touch – with no pressure. The information below will give you a rough idea of costs.
Simple apps
A simple app with perhaps up to four screens, that serves one basic function, can range from £1,000 to £7,000. Simple apps like these don’t store any data about the user or about the previous uses of the app – but they can still perform a really valuable function.
API or database apps
Apps that store information on the mobile device or interface with a remote server are more complex. Saving data on the device, device authentication, or syncing data between multiple devices would usually cost between £5,000 and £30,000.
Enterprise apps
This is the typical business app. Users can access information using the app via any device or browser. The app will have several key features and the interface will be heavily customised and branded to the organisation. These can cost £30,000 upwards.
