Mobile Apps
A phone app lives or dies on the first few seconds and the hundredth use. We design for the thumb, the small screen and the moment of distraction, and we decide early whether a true native build, a cross-platform one, or a well-made installable web app is the honest fit for your audience and budget.
What we deliver
Mobile apps designed for how people really hold a phone: quick to open, clear in a glance and reliable on a patchy connection.
- Platform decision
- A clear recommendation between native, cross-platform and installable web, with the trade-offs stated.
- Core flows
- The handful of tasks the app exists for, designed to work with a thumb and brief attention.
- Offline and sync
- Sensible behaviour when the connection drops, so the app is useful on a train or in a lift.
- Store-ready build
- Icons, listings and the checks each store requires, prepared so submission is not a scramble.
How we approach it
Decide the platform
We match the build approach to your audience, devices and budget before design.
Design for the thumb
We prototype the core flows for one-handed use on a real device size.
Build and test
We develop and test on real hardware, including slow and offline conditions.
Submit and iterate
We prepare the store listing and refine from the first users’ behaviour.
What you can expect
- An app that opens fast and is clear in a glance.
- Sensible behaviour when the network is poor.
- A build decision you can defend on cost and reach.
Common questions
Do we need a native app or would a web app do?
Can one app cover both iOS and Android?
Do you handle the app store submission?
