Bright Ideas.
Built into Appsusually.

Our focus usually stays with our own apps, and our studio is scheduled to deliver a number of releases over the next 18 months. But never say never, we are open for discussion if something genuinely interesting comes along.

We built it ourselves! Whilst apps are our main focus, we can rustle up websites quite quickly once the brief is agreed, so reach out if you'd like to talk.

A basic app may take a few months, while complex platforms can require six to twelve months or longer. The timeline depends on the features, design rounds, testing, remedial work, more testing, and this is after all the user interface design and user stories have been created. There is a lot that goes into it!

Start by sketching out what you want, screen by screen, so anyone reading it can picture how someone would actually move through the app. Writing it as user stories helps too, for example "as a user, I want to book a table so that I don't have to queue." It's also worth checking whether a similar app already exists from a reputable company. If it does, that's not a dead end, it just means you'll want a clear sense of what you'd do differently.

Always. An app doesn't stop needing us the day it goes live, if anything that's when the real work starts. We keep an eye on crash reports, respond to store reviews, patch things following an OS version update, and we aim to keep adding small improvements based on what people actually use. Think of it less like a one-off build and more like an ongoing relationship, the same way you'd look after a pet rather than just buying one and leaving it in the garden.

iOS, Android and web, depending on what the app actually needs rather than building everywhere just because we can. Some ideas make more sense as a proper native app, others work better as something people can just open in a browser. For our own apps we tend to launch on mobile first and expand from there.

Honestly, it depends, and anyone who gives you a fixed number without knowing what you want is probably guessing. Cost is driven by how many screens there are, how complex the features are, whether it needs to talk to other systems, and how much design and testing it needs before it's ready for the store.

Not something we've done before, and it's not really the plan, our apps are built to be ours, quirks and all. That said, we're not going to rule anything out completely. If you've got a genuinely interesting proposal, get in touch and we'll hear you out!

Expect the odd hidden detail, and apps with a bit of personality baked in. There are a few easter eggs on this site for those who like to poke around.
