Mobile app development.
Your app, on your customers’ phones.
I design and build your iPhone and Android app, from the idea to the App Store and Google Play. You’ll work with me directly throughout, and no technical background is needed.
From £7,000
Design, build, testing on phones and store submission, all included. Your fixed price depends on the features you need, such as sign-in and payments, and whether you want a web app as well.
A good fit
Who this is for.
01
You’re a founder with an app idea
Your customers live on their phones, and your idea needs to be there too, with notifications, the camera or an icon on their home screen. We start with the main thing they need to do.
02
Your customers come back to you often
They book, order or track things with you often enough that an app on their phone makes it easier for them to come back.

How it works
The steps I take you through.
- I learn your customers firstBefore anything is built, I get to know your business, the people who will use the app, your market and your competitors, and advise on what to launch with.
- We decide on the features togetherI break each feature down into a clear specification, such as “a client books a session and pays for it”, and give you a link where you can see each one tested and passing as the project progresses.
- I design your app to win customersI work with your branding, or help you create it, and design every screen, with its buttons, instructions and messages, to guide people to sign up, book or buy.
- I build your appI plan how everything fits together, choose the services that suit your budget, and build everything securely. I test it on real iPhones and Android phones, and every change is checked on a separate test version before it reaches your customers.
- I make it easy for customers to find youI research what your customers search for and build your App Store and Google Play listings around it, so people find your app when they search the stores.
- I launch your app with the tools to help you growI submit your app to the App Store and Google Play and handle what Apple and Google ask for. Once your app is live, you can see how people use it, and I get an alert the moment something breaks.
You get complete visibility at every step
From the first conversation, you get a project board and preview links, so you always know where your app is up to and can try out each feature as it’s ready. When a decision needs explaining, I send you a short video walkthrough.

ArabyBuddy, my Arabic-learning app, is live on the App Store and Google Play. You can see the decisions behind getting it through both stores’ reviews.
How I work
Price, payment and support.
How payment works
You get a fixed price, agreed in writing before I start. You pay half up front and the rest when the work is delivered, and if you want to add something later, I price it first so there are no surprises.
Support after delivery
For 90 days after delivery, I fix any bug in what I built, free of charge, and you get handover notes any future developer can follow. After that, a maintenance plan can keep your app up to date.

Questions
Before we start.
- Will it work on iPhone and Android?
- Yes. One app covers both, and I test it on both kinds of phone before it goes to the stores.
- Will Apple and Google approve my app?
- Apple and Google decide that. I prepare your listing, privacy details and submission to their guidelines, and I make the changes they ask for. Store submission is included when your quote says so.
- Can I have a web app as well?
- Yes. A web app alongside your mobile app is priced as its own part of the build.About web apps
- How long will my build take?
- It depends on what we are building, what you need to supply and when I can start. Your quote includes dates and review points. If time is tight, we can agree a smaller set of features to launch with.
- Will I need to pay for other services?
- Yes. Apple and Google each charge to publish apps, and an established service for payments or email is often cheaper and more reliable than building your own. I tell you what each will cost before we choose it, and never tie you to one provider.
- When and where can we meet?
- Calls are on UK evenings and weekends, and if you’re in London, I’m happy to meet in person.
- Who owns the app?
- You do. I set everything up in accounts you own from day one, including your App Store and Google Play accounts, and the code becomes yours when the final payment clears.
