From idea to working product.

Where I’ve worked

What I take care of

The engineering behind your app.

Most of an app is the part nobody sees. This is the work behind the screens, whether I’m building your app from scratch or finishing one you started.

• Accounts & data

  Signing in, accounts and permissions, so each customer sees their own records. I use established providers for this rather than inventing it, and set the access rules that go with them.

• Payments

  Checkout and subscriptions, including what happens when a payment fails, a provider sends the same event twice, or someone cancels partway through.

• The stores

  App Store and Google Play submissions, release builds and signing, and replies to review feedback. Apple and Google decide approval.

• Release & handover

  Automated tests, error monitoring, deployment and rollback, and handover notes, all in accounts you own. The code is yours on final payment.

How it works

From a first call to a launched app.

1. Step 1

   A free 15-minute fit check.

   Tell me about your idea or app, your budget and when you need it. I’ll tell you whether I can help. This first call does not include a code review or report.

2. Step 2

   Agree what we’re building.

   We write down what the first version includes, what it leaves out, what it costs, when it will be ready and how we’ll both know it’s done. Half is paid before I start and half on delivery.

3. Step 3

   Build, test and launch.

   I do the work myself and show you the app as it takes shape. I test the journeys your customers depend on, handle the launch work in your quote, and hand over the code, the accounts and the instructions.

• Fit checkFree15 minutes to discuss your idea or app and the next step
• New app buildFrom £4,000Your idea planned, built and launched as a first version people can use
• App completion & launch£2,500–£5,000Finish the agreed features and fixes for your app’s next release
• Focused repair£1,000–£2,000One clear app problem or store-release task, fixed and tested
• Maintenance£250–£500/moA set number of hours each month for existing clients; no 24/7 support

The agreed work on an existing app normally takes 2–4 weeks, and a new build depends on what goes into it.
