MOBILE APP DEVELOPMENT SERVICES

The cost of mobile app development services in the UK varies depending on factors like complexity, design requirements, features and platform. A basic mobile application can start from £25,000, while apps with advanced features or extensive 3rd party integrations can cost significantly more.

Factors such as the level of customisation, use of native or cross-platform development frameworks, and the integration of additional services (such as cloud storage or payment gateways) also influence the cost. We offer a detailed consultation to understand your needs and provide a transparent quotation with no hidden costs.

Security is paramount in our mobile app development process, and our developers address it through a multi-layered approach:

• Adherence to platform guidelines: we strictly adhere to the security guidelines and best practices of iOS and Android apps platforms, ensuring compliance and protecting user data.
• Secure data storage: we implement robust encryption and secure data storage methods to safeguard sensitive information both in the app and during data transmission.
• High code quality: our mobile app developers follow secure coding practices to prevent vulnerabilities with regular code reviews and quality checks to maintain high standards.
• Secure API communication: we ensure secure and encrypted communication between the app and any APIs or servers, protecting data in transit.
• Vulnerability testing: we conduct comprehensive vulnerability assessments and penetration testing to proactively address security issues, ensuring a reliable and secure app.

Our bespoke software development services include support for mobile app submission and release. We help with the following:

• Creating a developer account: we set up and verify a developer account. If you already have an existing account on the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, we use that. 
• Preparing store listings: we assist you in creating app descriptions, uploading graphic assets, and optimising with relevant keywords to increase discoverability.
• Addressing possible issues: If there are any issues or rejections, our mobile app developers quickly address and resolve them, making necessary modifications to comply with app store guidelines.

There are 3 options which you can choose from:

• Fixed cost/fixed scope model: ideal if you have well-defined requirements for your mobile application development project.
• Dedicated team model: suitable if your project requirements may change over time or you will need to hire mobile app developers for multiple projects.
• Staff augmentation: if you want to bridge skill or capacity gaps in your existing in-house team without the need for expensive recruiting.

Native mobile app development requires developing multiple versions of the app for different operating systems (like iOS and Android), each with its own set of front end development tools, languages, and expertise. This approach means you are essentially building and maintaining two separate iOS and Android apps.

On the other hand, cross-platform development tools allow for a single codebase to be used across multiple operating systems, reducing development time and costs. However, cross-platform apps might come with some trade-offs in terms of leveraging device-specific hardware features.

We always strive to delve into your specific business needs at the beginning of our collaboration to be able to suggest the best mobile app development platform based on your long and short-term goals and resource constraints.

The structure of our project teams depends on the complexity and specific requirements of your mobile application. Generally, a project team may include:

• A project manager: oversees the project, ensuring that your vision and goals are effectively met.
• UI/UX designers: designs the visual and interactive elements of the app.
• Mobile app developers: the number varies depending on whether the project is for a single platform or cross-platform, and the complexity of the app features.
• QA engineers: they ensure the app is thoroughly tested and free from bugs.
• Backend developers: included for apps requiring server-side functionality.

This team composition can be scaled up or down based on the size and complexity of your app project.

While our software development company does not directly provide App Store optimisation (ASO) services, we help you prepare essential documentation and media for your app. Our team ensures that all the materials align with ASO best practices, providing a solid foundation for you to collaborate with specialised ASO professionals to maximise your app's reach.

To get started, simply reach out to us by filling out the form below for an initial, no-obligation consultation. During this discussion, we'll understand your project vision and requirements. Our team will analyse your needs and prepare a detailed proposal, including a timeline and quote. Once you're ready to proceed, we'll formalise our agreement and introduce you to the team that will build your mobile app.
