Native apps, and the APIs that hold them up.
A mobile app is the visible tenth of an iceberg. We build the app natively for iOS and Android, and we build the API underneath it to carry the load, because that is the part that breaks first.
Shipped to the App Store and Play Store
Banking, video streaming, restaurant ordering and social applications: all built natively, all backed by APIs designed in-house.
Native iOS and Android
Full native applications for both platforms, where the interface belongs to the device rather than fighting it. The right choice when performance, platform features or a long support life matter.
- Full native iOS and Android builds
- Offline behaviour and device features
- App Store and Play Store delivery
The API underneath
Scalable in-house APIs, designed for the traffic the app will actually generate. One social application we built served its users on AWS with no API downtime.
- API design and data modelling
- Caching, media delivery and CDN
- Push notifications and background jobs
Cross-platform, when it fits
For simpler products, or when one codebase genuinely serves you better than two, a cross-platform build is the pragmatic answer. We will tell you which case you are in before you commit.
- Honest native versus cross-platform advice
- Shared backend for either route
- Migration paths between the two
Apps already in people’s pockets
Built across employed, contract and consulting engagements. Clients are described rather than named.
