Process
From start to finish, it's deep collaboration
We have a tried and true process for deep collaboration. At each step of the project, we work closely with your team to ensure that we maximise the benefits for your business.
Here's what to expect:
Discovery
We start by getting a deep understanding of your business, your audience, and your goals. Through structured workshops and conversations, we clarify what success looks like, identify constraints and opportunities, and align on priorities. This phase ensures we’re solving the right problems before we design or build anything.
Planning
With clear direction in place, we translate insights into a practical plan. This includes planning structure, creative direction, user journeys and more. The outcome is a collaborative roadmap that we use in the implementation phase.
Implementation
We design, build, and refine your project, collaborating closely with your team, sharing progress and iterating quickly to ensure everything aligns with the agreed roadmap.
Review & Launch
Before launch, we test, validate, and fine-tune. We review the work against the original objectives, checking for clarity, consistency, and quality with a fine toothcomb. The end result is robust, polished, and ready to perform.
Ongoing Support
After launch, we're here to support you whenever you need. We can help with ad-hoc updates or help you on an ongoing monthly basis. Learn more about our maintenance service.
Before & after.
Why you need a custom app.
Before
You had disjointed tools, manual workarounds, and processes that don’t scale.
- Data spread across paper, spreadsheets, emails, and third-party tools
- High manual effort for simple internal workflows
- Little visibility into operations or user behaviour
- Slow manual processes
After
You've got purpose-built apps that streamline operations and scale with your business.
- Centralised data with clear ownership and permissions
- Automated workflows that remove repetitive admin
- Real-time visibility into performance and usage
- Scalable architecture that grows without rewrites

Frequently asked questions
What you need to know.
If you have a specific question that isn't answered here, please contact our team.
We build all types of business apps, from internal tools and company dashboards to complex project management apps and client portals. Get in touch with us to discuss your app requirements.
We prefer to work with businesses that have established processes and workflows that they would like to turn into a full production app. If you have an idea for an MVP, we might still be able to help though - get in touch to discuss your idea.
In most cases, yes! During the inital project discussion, we can determine how to intergrate with your 3rd party software tools.
The best part about the apps that we build is that they are flexible and features can easily be added to them in future, as your business evolves.
Price depends on complexity of the project, features required, number of user types required, 3rd party integrations required, and more. Talk to us to get a quick quote.
This again depends on the complexity of the project, but the average project from start to finish takes around 4-8 weeks. Learn more about our process.
After an initial consultation, we will let you know what assets are required. Get in touch with us to setup a consultation.
