Mobile Development
Mobile app development for small businesses
A loyalty or ordering app that keeps regulars coming back, without a big-agency budget.
The problem
Your regulars spend their day on their phones. If ordering again or collecting a reward means digging through a browser, they drift to whoever made it easy, usually a bigger chain with an app.
In plain words
An app earns its place when customers do something with you over and over: ordering coffee, booking a table, collecting rewards. For those businesses, being one tap away on the home screen beats being one search away in a browser, and push notifications bring regulars back without paying for another ad.
We build one app for both iOS and Android from a single codebase, which keeps the cost within a small business budget. On the monthly fee we keep your app updated and ship one small feature at a time. Bigger builds get a written scope and timeline first. If an app is not the right call for your business, we will tell you and suggest what would work better.
It is $299 a month on top of any plan, or $599 a month on its own. No setup fee, no hourly billing, and the price is on the pricing page before you talk to anyone.
The add-on: App Care, $299/mo with any plan or $599/mo on its own. First update in 2 weeks.
Updates start within two weeks. A focused first version of a new app usually takes eight to twelve weeks, scoped in writing first.

Questions
Common questions.
Sometimes, and we will say so. If your customers order, book, or check in repeatedly, an app usually pays for itself in repeat visits.
A small first version can. Bigger builds get a written scope and timeline after a short call, before you commit to anything.
If customers visit once, a fast mobile website is enough. If they order, book, or check in regularly, an app usually pays for itself in repeat business.
