Websites & apps / 05

Scope settles the price,before a line is written.

We design and build Android and iOS apps: a focused Starter app, a Shopping App connected to your existing Shopify or WooCommerce store, a Business app with a custom backend and admin panel, or a Product MVP with multiple roles and payments. Every package includes product discovery, interface design, store submission, source code handover and 30 days of post-release support for the delivered work.

What the app has to do decides most of the cost, so it is settled in writing before the build is committed.

Priced on scope first. What the app has to do decides most of the cost; adding the second platform runs on the same codebase and adds about a quarter.

    Scope & additional costs

    An existing Shopify or WooCommerce store is required. We review the store, payment gateway and plugins before confirming the fixed scope. The package covers up to 12 primary screens for one store selling physical products.

    A new website or backend, catalogue migration, marketplaces, delivery-agent apps, digital-goods subscriptions, automated marketing journeys and bespoke integrations are separately scoped.

    Platform fees, developer accounts, paid connectors and usage charges are separate and disclosed during discovery. Support covers issues with the delivered work for 30 days; new features are separately scoped. Store submission is included; approval rests with the app stores.

Every build opens with a product discovery that defines what the app does and confirms the estimate before the build is committed. It is part of the package, not an extra.

Why it matters

Most app quotes are given before anyone knows what the app does.

A number from a one-line brief is a guess, and guesses get corrected halfway through the build. Discovery comes first and is part of the package, so the estimate that follows is one both sides can hold to.

What changes

A stronger presence creates visible movement.

01

An estimate that holds

Scope is agreed in discovery, so the number quoted is the number invoiced.

02

Something you own

The source code transfers to you at release rather than staying with the studio.

03

A second platform for less

One codebase serves both, so adding the other adds about a quarter rather than doubling.

What you get

A focused system, not a loose stack of files.

The exact scope follows the business need. These are the core building blocks we shape into one connected engagement.

01

Product discovery

Screens, user types, and rules written down, confirming the estimate before the build begins. Included, not billed on top.

02

Native-feeling interface

An interface designed for the platform it runs on, rather than a website in a shell.

03

Backend and integrations by package

Starter has no custom backend. Shopping App uses your existing store for products, inventory and orders. Business adds a custom backend, accounts, an admin panel, push notifications and one integration; Product MVP supports multiple roles, payments and real-time behaviour.

04

Store release and handover

Submission handled, source code transferred to you, and 30 days of post-release support.

How we work

Clear decisions. Visible progress. No theatre.

  1. 01

    Discover

    Define the screens, user types and rules, and confirm the scope and estimate. Shopping App also starts with a review of the existing store, plugins and payment gateway; its timeline is agreed after that review.

  2. 02

    Design

    Lay out the flows and the interface for the platform the app will live on.

  3. 03

    Build

    Develop the app and its agreed connections in reviewable stages you can try as they land. Shopping App connects to your existing store; custom backend work follows the chosen Business or Product MVP scope.

  4. 04

    Release

    Test on real devices, submit to the store, hand over the code, and support the first month.

A strong fit for

Good questions

What clients usually want to know.

01How is it priced?

Starter app: US$1,999 for Android or iOS; US$2,499 for both. Up to 5 screens / one user type. Shopping App: US$2,499 for Android or iOS; US$3,199 for both. Up to 12 primary screens / existing online store. Business app: US$4,999 for Android or iOS; US$6,299 for both. Up to 12 screens / accounts and admin. Product MVP: from US$11,999 for Android or iOS; from US$14,999 for both. 15–25 screens / multiple roles. Product discovery and interface design are included in every tier.

02Android, iOS, or both?

Both run on a shared codebase, so the second platform adds about a quarter rather than doubling the cost. Starting with one and adding the other later is fine.

03Is the design included?

Yes, the interface is designed as part of the build. Product UX & Interface Design is the separate, design-only engagement for teams whose own developers will build it.

04What does the Shopping App include?

A branded Android or iOS app, or both, with up to 12 primary screens for one existing Shopify or WooCommerce store selling physical products. It includes collections, search, supported filters, variants, cart, the store’s supported checkout, customer sign-in, order history and status, and basic promotional push notifications. Products, inventory and orders stay managed in your existing store. We review store, plugin and gateway compatibility before confirming the fixed scope and timeline.

05Does Shopping App include a new online store?

No. It connects to an existing store. Storefront, Commerce and Commerce Plus under Website Build & Launch are the packages for creating an ecommerce website. Shopping App does not include a new website or backend, catalogue migration, marketplaces, delivery-agent apps, digital-goods subscriptions or bespoke integrations. Automated marketing journeys are separately scoped.

06Are Shopping App running costs included?

The package price is a one-time development fee. Platform fees, developer accounts, paid connectors and usage charges are separate and disclosed during discovery. We agree the store’s compatibility, supported checkout and ongoing costs before the build is committed.

07Who owns the code?

You do. The source is handed over at release, alongside store submission and 30 days of post-release support.
