Additional service
Mobile app discovery and development
We take on mobile app projects selectively, starting with a discovery phase to decide whether a native app, or a responsive web app, is the right thing to build.
What we can show
Our published work is web-based: websites and a web application. We do not have a public mobile app case study to show you, and we would rather say so than imply otherwise. The closest evidence of product work is WTS CRM, a web application we designed, built and run.
If you need a studio with a long list of App Store releases, we are probably not the right choice. If you need the product thinking done properly first, we may be.
Where we are a reasonable fit
- You are not yet sure the product needs to be a native app
- The app is a companion to a web product or an existing system
- You want the first version scoped tightly before committing a large budget
How an app project starts
- 1
Discovery
Users, the core task, what needs the phone’s hardware and what does not. Ends with a recommendation: native, cross-platform or responsive web app.
- 2
Scope and platforms
The screens and flows in the first version, which platforms it targets and what is deferred, in writing.
- 3
Design
Interface design for the agreed flows, approved before development.
- 4
Development and release
Build, testing on real devices and store submission, as defined in the scope.
Scope and quote
App projects are quoted after discovery, never from a package price. The platforms supported and the approach are confirmed in that scope.
Store developer accounts and any third-party services are registered in your name and paid to those providers.
Quoted per project
There is no package price for this service. You receive a written quote after a scope review, with the timeline agreed at the same time.
Discuss this projectOften a responsive web app does the job at lower cost and without store approval. An app earns its place when it needs offline use, notifications or device features. Discovery answers this for your case.
The platforms are decided in discovery and written into the scope. We will tell you plainly if a project is outside what we can deliver well.
You do. The code, the developer accounts and the store listings are in your name.
