Services/App Development
Mobile apps built for the people who use them.
A good mobile app should make something easier. It might help your customers access a service, give your staff tools while they're out on site or bring an existing business process onto a phone.
I develop mobile applications for iOS and Android, with functionality and design shaped around your users and your business.
From the initial idea through to development and release, you'll deal directly with me.
More than an app on a screen
A mobile application often needs more than its visible interface. It may need user accounts, a database, an administration dashboard, notifications, payments or integrations with existing systems.
I can develop the app and the supporting components needed to make it work as part of a complete solution.
What I can build
Business mobile applications
Apps that help your team manage jobs, access information, record activity and complete tasks while away from the office.
Customer-facing apps
Mobile experiences that let your customers access your services, manage information and interact with your business.
Field and workforce applications
Practical apps for site teams and mobile workers, including forms, records, checks, receipts and other structured workflows.
iOS and Android apps
Applications developed for Apple's App Store and Google Play, with an approach suited to the project and its requirements.
App backends and dashboards
Supporting APIs, databases and browser-based administration tools to manage app data, users and business processes.
Existing app improvements
Updates, new features, integrations and improvements to existing mobile applications.
A complete application, not just the front end
Where a project needs it, I can build the wider system around the app:
- User registration and authentication.
- Databases and data management.
- APIs and third-party integrations.
- Administration dashboards.
- Payment integrations.
- Notifications and background processing.
- App release preparation and store submissions.
The exact functionality will depend on your requirements and the services involved.
Technologies
My mobile development experience includes:
- React Native.
- Expo.
- TypeScript.
- Next.js for supporting web applications.
- Supabase and PostgreSQL.
- Stripe and other API integrations.
I choose the approach based on the project rather than forcing every app into the same technical setup.
My development process
- 01
Discuss the idea
Understand the users, problem and features the app needs.
- 02
Plan the application
Define the core workflows, screens, backend requirements and project scope.
- 03
Build and test
Develop the app and supporting systems, testing across relevant devices and workflows.
- 04
Prepare for release
Help prepare the application for the App Store and Google Play, then discuss ongoing improvements and support.
Example: FCH Field App
A mobile field application for a construction business, designed to move everyday site records and forms into a single system.
The project includes mobile forms for activities such as vehicle checks, timesheets and fuel receipts, alongside an administration dashboard for managing records.
Built with Expo, Supabase and Next.js.
Questions
App Development Questions, Answered.
Can you develop for both iPhone and Android?
Yes. I work with React Native and Expo to develop mobile applications for iOS and Android where that approach is suitable.
Can the app connect to our existing systems?
Potentially. It depends on the systems involved and whether they provide suitable APIs or integration options. We can assess this during the planning stage.
Can you build an admin dashboard as well?
Yes. Many apps need a browser-based dashboard to manage users, records and settings. This can be developed as part of the wider project.
Can you publish the app to the App Store and Google Play?
I can help prepare and submit applications for release. Store accounts, approvals and platform requirements remain subject to Apple and Google's processes.
How much does a mobile app cost?
It depends on the functionality, platforms, backend and integrations. I'll provide a quote once the requirements and scope are understood.
Can you improve an existing app?
Yes. I can assess an existing application and discuss fixes, new features, integrations or a wider redevelopment.
Have an app idea you'd like to bring to life?
Let's talk about what you want the app to do, who will use it and how we can build a solution that works.
