Mobile App & API Development

Apps people keep, and the connections behind them

What you get out of it

One source of truth

An API means your website, app and back office all read the same data.

Built for the platform

An app that feels like an iPhone app on an iPhone, not a website in a box.

Secure by design

Authentication, rate limiting and encryption considered from the first sketch.

Submission handled

Store rules are fiddly and change. We deal with them.

How we work

01Discovery & consultation

We learn the business, the problem and what success would look like.

02Planning & strategy

Scope, approach and a written plan you can agree before work starts.

03Design & development

Built in stages, with something to look at early rather than at the end.

04Testing & quality assurance

Checked on real devices and browsers, and fixed before it goes live.

05Launch & ongoing support

Deployed carefully, then looked after — we don’t disappear afterwards.

Frequently asked

Native or cross-platform?

Cross-platform builds both from one codebase and usually costs less. Native gives the best performance and the closest fit to each platform. We will explain which suits your app.

Do we really need an app, or would a website do?

Often a website would do, and we will say so. Apps earn their keep when you need offline use, notifications or the phone’s own hardware.

What is an API, in plain English?

A controlled doorway into your system that other software can use. It is how your app, your website and your accounts package can share the same information without anyone retyping it.
