App Design & Development

Choose Basic App if you need a lean web app or MVP with one main flow – for example a simple internal tool, a basic customer portal, or a proof-of-concept to validate your idea.
Choose Standard App if you need a fuller app with multiple screens, at least one API integration, and clear roles (e.g. user + admin) for your team or customers.
Choose Premium App if you’re aiming for a SaaS-style product or a more complex internal app with multiple roles, richer UX, several integrations and scalability in mind.
If none of these feel like a perfect fit, you’re always welcome to request a custom App quote.

All app packages include:
– A custom web app (runs in the browser on desktop & mobile)
– Responsive layouts so it works on different screen sizes
– UI designed to match or complement your brand
– Clean, structured data model and database setup
– Basic authentication (login) where needed
– Attention to performance, security and maintainability
– A short handover / walkthrough once the app is ready
Standard and Premium add more screens, roles, and integrations. Premium adds deeper UX polish and architecture designed with growth in mind.

Basic App
– Up to 5 core screens/views
– 1 user role (e.g. standard user)
– Simple, clean interface and core flows
– Ideal for early-stage MVPs or a small internal tool
Standard App
– Up to 10 core screens/views
– Up to 2 user roles (e.g. user + admin)
– Custom layouts for key flows
– 1–2 API integrations (e.g. CRM, payments, external service)
– Better suited to apps you’ll use daily in your business
Premium App
– Up to 20 core screens/views
– Multiple user roles (e.g. user, admin, manager)
– Richer UX, micro-interactions and polish
– Multiple API integrations, more complex workflow logic
– Great for SaaS-style products or complex internal systems
All three are responsive, brand-aligned and built with performance and security in mind.

Yes we can
A Shopify Application is just another example of a web app and we can build it to Shopify’s strict compliance standards. Learn More
Most Shopify Apps are covered in the Premium App.

Typical starting timelines are:
– Basic App: around 3–4 weeks
– Standard App: around 4–6 weeks
– Premium App: around 6–8+ weeks
Exact timing depends on complexity, integrations and how quickly we get feedback and approvals. We’ll give you a clear estimated timeline before we start and keep you updated as we go.

In some cases, yes.
If you have a fixed deadline (launch, demo, investor meeting), we can look at expedited timelines for an additional fee, depending on current capacity and the scope of the app.
We’ll talk honestly about what is and isn’t realistic so you don’t end up with a rushed, unstable product.

To kick off an app project, we’ll usually ask for:
– A short overview of what the app should do
– Who will use it (customers, staff, partners, etc.)
– Any must-have features and nice-to-haves
– Any existing systems we should connect to (CRM, billing, etc.)
– Wireframes, sketches or examples (if you have them – not required)
If you’re not sure how to explain it, we’ll guide you with questions and help translate your idea into clear requirements.

Often, yes.
We can:
– Review your existing app or prototype
– Check the tech stack, performance and UX
– Recommend whether we should improve what you have or rebuild for something more stable and maintainable
If a rebuild is the better long-term option, we’ll explain why and what it means in terms of time and cost

We typically focus on web apps that:
– Run in modern browsers (Chrome, Edge, Safari, etc.)
– Work on desktops, laptops, tablets and phones via responsive design
For some projects we can also make the app PWA-ready (Progressive Web App) so it can be “installed” like an app and work better on mobile.
If you specifically need native mobile apps (iOS/Android), we can discuss options and may involve specialised partners.

You’ll be able to:
– Log into your admin area (where applicable)
– Manage users, records, content or settings depending on the app
– Use the app day-to-day without touching any code
For changes to logic, data structure or new features, you’d usually come back to us (or another developer) – but we design admin tools so non-technical users can handle routine tasks.

Yes – especially in Standard and Premium packages.
We can connect to:
– CRMs and marketing tools
– Payment providers
– Internal APIs or databases
– Other SaaS tools you already use
We’ll check documentation, discuss edge cases, and build the integration so it handles errors gracefully (e.g. if the external service is slow or offline).

We take security seriously.
We follow best practices such as:
– Proper authentication and access control
– Validating and sanitising user input
– Avoiding exposing sensitive data
– Using HTTPS and secure storage for credentials
For apps handling especially sensitive data, we’ll talk through additional security considerations at the planning stage.

Once the project is paid in full, you own the app we’ve built for you:
– You can use it, grow it, and have other developers extend it in future if you choose.
– We may keep reusing our own internal components and patterns, but the app built for your business is yours.
If there are any third-party licences (for example UI kits, paid APIs), we’ll make those clear and help you understand their terms.

Yes.
We can provide ongoing support or maintenance plans for:
– Bug fixes and minor improvements
– Performance and security updates
– Small feature tweaks and UI refinements
Or, if you prefer, we can do ad-hoc work as needed. We’ll discuss what makes sense based on how critical the app is to your business.

Absolutely.
If your app doesn’t fit neatly into Basic, Standard or Premium – for example:
– Very complex workflows
– Multi-tenant / multi-organisation setups
– Heavy data or reporting requirements
…we’ll put together a tailored App quote.
Share a short description of:
– What your app should do
– Who will use it
– Any key integrations or constraints
