App Development

Join the brands driving profit with purpose

An app for your business?

Let's make your app idea happen, no matter what stage you’re at.

Got an idea?

Great! Now's the time to see through your app idea to:

    Solve a real-world customer problem

    Level up your client experience

    Streamline the day-to-day internal business efficiency

Our agile development process and business-first approach means your idea is in safe hands. We want to shape your app idea carefully, step by step.

Test with an MVP?

We’ll build a lean, working prototype of your app holding the key features (the minimal viable product) to test with real users. Using the feedback, let’s finetune the business model and launch your app with minimum reworks, redesigns, and wasteful costs!

Stuck halfway with no reliable resources?

We get the struggle when you're short on time, talent, or tech skills, especially when you’re trying to scale. Our top-tier app developers, UI/UX designers, and QA engineers can jump in, co-develop with your team, and get your mobile or web application over the line.

Looking to set up a remote team?

Scaling is less stressful when you expand your development team’s capacity by augmenting. We’ll take care of direct hiring matters (admin, HR, IT) and set up your team with high-app developers. You reinvest the time and money saved into growing your business.

Ready to explore options to make your app a reality?

Let's have a chat to look at the options available in designing and developing an app.

Costs to build an app? Honest work, real numbers.

Your budget for app design, development, and launch

Let’s jump straight into it. Simple app? Budget $40,000-$100,000. A medium complex app? Expect $100,000-$200,000. For the crème de la crème of apps, with the most advanced features and functionalities, you’re looking at $200,000 to $500,000.

Here's a breakdown of how these numbers work.

The ‘can’t miss’ development costs

Planning and research:

First up, you’ll be investing in user research with the right tools/services to validate your idea.

Prototyping:

This is your first prototype (aka your MVP) to test your concept.

App design:

Testing app design for usability on platforms like Figma is a step that’s worth the money spent.

App development:

After the prototype is tested, we roll out the features with full functionality using an agile development approach.

Operational costs (keep things moving)

HR costs:

You may need to get expert support/consultation sometimes. We’ll bring in outsourced or direct resources to support the development process.

Hosting and infrastructure:

When your app starts to scale, you’ll need a good infrastructure to host the app and support it.

Customer support:

As the app is rolled out in phases, expect to invest in customer support. Let’s keep your customers happy.

Marketing costs (or smart investment?)

Pre-launch marketing campaigns:

Great way to build a waitlist of customers motivated to use your app.

Website and social media:

Your app needs a home online. Build a website and get active on social media.

Post-launch marketing:

When the app is live, spending money on digital marketing means double the returns when you acquire and retain more users.

Is your app B2C? Free advice:

Spend on engaging marketing activities at early development stages to get a head start.

Extra costs (Depending on your industry)

Legal costs:

Some industries may require legal consultation to ensure that your app meets all regulatory requirements.

Admin costs:

Expect to spend on allocating funds for running an office with customer support.

Looking for app developers in Sydney?

Let's take a look at the steps to launch your app successfully.

I have an idea, and need to move forward with the next steps.

If you have an idea, the next step would be to validate the idea by conducting user research. Once your idea is validated we can start to build a working prototype with the minimum features required to test the product and how customers respond. We will work with you on an agile development process to fine tune the app by releasing different functions and features in sprints to test and change based on user feedback.

I am looking for funding and reliable app developers in Sydney

You can start by hiring an app development company to build the prototypes to test and validate further. Once the prototypes are validated you can release the app's features in sprints by following an agile development methodology to pivot based on customer feedback. As we help you work your way through the alpha and beta releases you can pitch for more funding. Once the app is successfully launched, you can start doing digital marketing to acquire users.

I have built the app and looking on expanding with more developers

If your app is successfully launched and you are looking to expand by improving its UI/UX and performance and adding new features, from now on, it's about increasing your venture's profitability and taking your app to a whole new level. You can hire a dedicated remote off-shore team with a partner in Sydney, such as ourselves, to be in control of your app's development and team while being cost-efficient.

Different app development solutions

Pick the app development that fits your needs

The perfect cuppa for our business won’t fit yours. Let’s get the flavours right.

Native iOS mobile apps

This is the best way to provide a good user experience for your iOS app users when the design and development is optimised for Apple’s ecosystem.

Perks

✔ Built with Swift and Objective-C for top-tier performance (works more efficiently than apps built via cross-platform frameworks like Flutter and React Native). 

✔ Full access to Apple-only features. Best for devices running on iOS.

Quirks

– Only works on Apple devices. Need more resources to build native iOS apps.

Native Android mobile apps

A native Android app is the best app solution if your customers are mostly Android users and you want to offer them a tailored user experience.

Perks

Native apps built with Kotlin and Java, optimised for better performance on Android platforms

✔ More customisation options with access to better security and high-performing functions compared to apps built on cross-platform frameworks like Flutter and React Native.

Quirks

– Not cross-platform compatible

– Takes time to roll out new versions of native Android apps due to resource-intensive agile development methodology.

Cross platform mobile apps

This one’s for you if your business needs a faster, budget-friendly way to go live on both iOS and Android.

Perks

Built on cross-platform frameworks like Flutter and React Native with one codebase for multiple operating systems (iOS, Android, etc.)

✔ Faster and more cost-effective

✔ Near-native performance nowadays due to advances in Flutter and React Native

Quirks

– Slight limitations with custom features

– Not as smooth as native (but getting close!)

Progressive web apps (PWAs)

Give your clients a native app-like experience without going through the app store with Progressive Web Apps (PWAs)

Perks

Tailored for scalability and top performance with the right technologies → Node.js, .NET for front end development; serverless architectures for back end development; modern JavaScript frameworks like React.js, Angular, Vue.js.

✔ Your clients can install the PWA on their devices using any browser.

✔ Our app development team uses next level UX/UI designs to boost business growth by improving user engagement.

Quirks

– Not distributed via app stores

– Limited access to device features such as Bluetooth, GPS, and camera compared to a native mobile app.

Our approach to

Designing and developing a mobile/web app that helps double your business sales

Step 1

Discovery workshop

Let’s start the process by understanding your idea, business model, and objectives. We’ll give you a project roadmap with clear milestones (design, development, launch) after mapping out the functional requirements, features, use cases, and user flows of the app.

Step 2

Sprint planning, design and development

For accelerated project completion, our strategy is to use agile sprints where we design and develop your app in stages. This minimises rework. How? At each major feature release, your app is tested and refined by incorporating changes via essential user feedback.

Step 3

Testing

No bugs will be bugging any of your clients! Your app is released in alpha and beta versions during the testing and development process. This means that we ensure your mobile/web app is ready to use with both manual and automated testing.

Step 4

Release

Now, it’s your chance to review the app, see if you’re happy with the final outcome, and sign off on the User Acceptance Testing (UAT). Then, we’ll deploy your app on app stores (for mobile apps) or we’ll go live on your preferred domain (for web apps).

Step 5

Maintenance & support

Remember, you need post-launch maintenance and ongoing technical support to retain clients. So, our target is to maintain 99.99% uptime with minimal to no reported crashes. We do this with a post-launch development support system that collects feedback and monitors app performance, to fix any issues before they become problems.
