01
Mobile applications
Applications for iOS and Android, taken all the way to release. Store listings, review submissions, and the updates that follow a launch.
Independent software studio
Saying it is one thing.
Building it is another.
We do the second one.

Before you hire anyone
The three things that usually go wrong.
These are the words people actually use about development studios. Here is where we stand on each one.
They go quiet on you.
You get a named person, not a ticket queue. Replies within two business days, in writing, always.
The price moves.
The scope and the number are agreed before any code is written. If the work changes, you approve the change first.
You never see it until it is late.
You see the real thing running from the first week, and every week after that.
The work
Four kinds of work, done properly.
02
Web applications
Marketing sites, customer portals, and logged in dashboards. Built to load fast and to stay readable on a phone.
03
Backends and integrations
Databases, accounts, payments, notifications, and the third party services your product depends on. Kept as simple as the product allows.
04
Product design and scoping
Interface design, working prototypes, and honest technical scoping, so a build starts with a plan somebody can hold us to.
The method
Three steps, and nothing hidden between them.
Step 01
Scope
We agree what the product must do, what it will not do yet, and what the first release contains. You get that in writing before any code exists.
Step 02
Build
Work ships in short reviewable pieces. You see it running early, so you can change direction while changing direction is still cheap.
Step 03
Ship and support
We handle release, store submission, and the first weeks in production. Then we keep it maintained on terms we agree up front.
The promise
Hold the line until it closes.
Press and hold the button to reveal the studio's three commitments. They are listed below in full.
- A written scope before any code.
- Working software every week.
- One person who answers.
That is the whole promise.
Questions
The things people ask before they commit.
How much does a project cost?
It depends on what it does, so we scope it before quoting. Small apps start in the low thousands. You get a number and what is inside it before you commit.
How long does it take?
A first release is usually weeks, not months, because we cut the first version down to what actually has to exist. The plan says the date.
What if I only have an idea?
That is a normal starting point. The scoping step exists to turn an idea into a build plan, and it works as a small paid piece on its own if you want to stop there.
Who owns the code?
You do, in full, including the repositories and the store listings. We hand over everything at the end.
Do you work with people in other countries?
Yes. Everything runs over email and calls, and the working notes are written down so time zones do not cost you anything.
Contact
Tell us what you are trying to build.
A few sentences about the product, who it is for, and when you need it is enough to start. We reply with questions, a rough shape, and what it would take.
