What we offer
We develop native apps for iOS and Android and PWAs (Progressive Web Apps): from concept to publication on App Store and Google Play, or a PWA deployable without store approval. Progressive Web Apps deliver app-like quality with web benefits: direct installation from the browser (add to home screen), fast loading even on slow networks, offline support via service workers, push notifications, instant updates without going through the stores, and Google indexing. One codebase for all devices (iPhone, Android, desktop) reduces cost and development time. Integrations with backend, websites, and APIs.

Questions about Apps and PWA?
Some useful answers on native apps and Progressive Web Apps.
It depends on your goals. Native apps (iOS/Android) offer maximum performance, push notifications, and full device access. PWAs (Progressive Web Apps) are more economical, skip the stores, update instantly without approval, work on all devices with one codebase, and are indexable on Google. For many projects (eCommerce, bookings, portals) a PWA is the ideal choice. We'll help you decide.
PWAs are websites that behave like apps: they can be installed from the page (add to home screen), work offline thanks to service workers, support push notifications, and are fast and lightweight. They don't require the App Store or Google Play, update in real time, and Google indexes them as sites. Ideal for reaching users on every device with a single build.
Cost depends on complexity, platforms (iOS only, Android only, both, PWA), and features. A PWA often costs less than two native apps and covers all devices. Ask for a free quote: we'll analyse your needs and give you a clear estimate.
Yes. We offer maintenance and updates to keep the app or PWA in line with new iOS and Android versions and to add new features.
