01
Planning and design
We work out what the app must do on day one and what can wait. Then wireframes and a clean, usable interface.
Mobile app development ยท iOS and Android
Apps your customers
keep in their pocket.
Sometimes a website is not enough. When customers need to book, track, order or log something on the move, I build the app, the API behind it and the admin panel that runs it. One Laravel codebase, shipped to iOS and Android with NativePHP, without the agency price tag.
Do you need an app?
When a mobile app makes sense
Not every business needs an app, and I will say so if yours does not. Apps earn their place when customers need regular, quick access to your service: appointments, order tracking, loyalty, field work, or anything that benefits from push notifications and working offline.
I build cross-platform, which means one codebase runs on iPhone and Android. You get native-feeling apps without paying for two separate builds or maintaining two teams.
Booking and appointment apps
Let customers book, reschedule and get reminders without ringing you.
Ordering and e-commerce apps
Repeat orders, saved baskets and push notifications for the customers who buy most often.
Loyalty and rewards apps
Digital stamps, points and offers that give people a reason to come back.
Field service and job management
Job sheets, photos, signatures and time logs that work offline and sync when there is signal.
Customer portal apps
Account details, documents and support in their pocket rather than buried in an email thread.
Data collection and reporting
Inspections, surveys and checklists captured on site and reported on instantly.

Idea to App Store, handled
02
Development
One Laravel codebase shipped to iOS and Android with NativePHP, or React where the interface needs it. No paying twice for two builds.
03
Back end and API
Your app needs something to talk to. I build the Laravel API, admin panel and integrations behind it.
04
App Store submission
Getting an app approved can be fiddly. I handle the listings, review process and releases on both stores.
Honest advice
App or website: which do you need?
You need an app if...
Customers use your service daily, need it offline, or would act on push notifications.
A website is fine if...
Customers visit occasionally, mostly need information, and your service works well in a browser.
Not sure?
Have a conversation with me. I will give you an honest answer, even if that means telling you an app is not worth it.
Straight answers
Questions I get asked
- Do I actually need a mobile app?
- Only if customers use your service often, need it offline, or would benefit from push notifications. If they visit occasionally and mostly need information, a fast mobile-friendly website is the better spend. I will tell you which applies before you commit to anything.
- What is NativePHP?
- NativePHP lets a Laravel application run as a native desktop or mobile app. For a business that already has, or needs, a Laravel web app, it means one codebase and one developer instead of separate web, iOS and Android teams.
- How much does an app cost?
- It depends on features, integrations and whether a back end already exists, so I quote each project individually. You get a written scope and one number before any work starts.
- Can you build the app and the website together?
- Yes, and it is usually the most efficient approach. The website, admin panel and app all share the same Laravel back end and data.
