Mobile app development in Sheffield

Apps for iPhone and Android from one codebase, for bookings, forms and work done away from a desk. We publish them to both stores in your organisation's name, and they can work alongside a website or web app.

Fixed quotes. Purchase orders welcome. You own the code.

What we build

  • One codebase, both stores.

    iPhone and Android from the same code, so a change reaches both.

  • In your name.

    Published to the App Store and Google Play in your organisation's name, not ours.

  • For work away from a desk.

    Bookings, forms and the day's jobs for people who are out and about, as in BrightWorks.

  • An app from the website you already have.

    CityQuest runs as a website and an Android app. The app is the same site plus the parts only an app can do, such as sharing location with the phone locked and sending push alerts.

How a project runs

We build quickly and put working software in front of you early. Decisions get made on something real, not a document.

  1. 01

    A conversation, then a fixed quote.

    We talk through what you need, then send a written scope and a fixed price. Purchase orders are fine.

  2. 02

    Something you can use, early.

    A working prototype at a real web address, so you react to software you can click, not a specification.

  3. 03

    Built in short rounds.

    You see progress as it happens and can change direction while it's still cheap to.

  4. 04

    Launch and handover.

    You own the code, the domain and the accounts. We write the guide for whoever will use it.

  5. 05

    Support, if you want it.

    A monthly plan covers hosting, updates and small changes. Or we hand over and step back.

Where we work

A software studio in Sheffield.

We're based in Sheffield. We meet in person across Sheffield and South Yorkshire, and work by video call with clients anywhere in the UK. You deal with the same person from the first call to launch, and after it.

Questions people ask

Who owns what you build?
You do. The code, the domain and the hosting accounts are in your name, and you can take them to another developer whenever you like.
Can you work with the systems we already use?
Usually. We've built on Microsoft and Google sign-in, Stripe, Google Maps and spreadsheet imports. If your system has an API or an export, we can work with it.
Where is our data kept?
In UK or EU data centres unless you ask otherwise. We sign a data processing agreement and help with your DPIA.
Do you take purchase orders?
Yes. Most of our school and council work is paid by purchase order on 30-day terms.
