How we work

From first call to launch, and after

  1. 01

    Discover

    We work out what you're trying to achieve, who it's for, and the smallest version worth building.

  2. 02

    Design

    Flows and screens you can click through before any code is written, so feedback is cheap.

  3. 03

    Build

    Short cycles with working software you can try every week, not a big reveal at the end.

  4. 04

    Ship & support

    Store listings, launch and monitoring, then maintenance and new features as you grow.

About

Small on purpose

You work directly with Miles Corran, our founder and lead engineer: 20 years building web and mobile apps, specializing in educational products, and the person who designs and builds yours from the first conversation to the final release.

FAQ

Common questions

How much does a project cost?

It depends on scope, so we don't publish fixed prices. Tell us what you're building and we'll come back with an estimate, or suggest a smaller first version that fits your budget.

How long does it take?

A focused MVP usually takes weeks to a few months, not years. After a short discovery conversation we'll give you a realistic timeline for your specific project.

Who owns the code?

You do. Once the project is paid for, the code, designs and store listings we create for you are yours, and we hand over everything you need to run them.

Do you help after launch?

Yes. We offer ongoing maintenance: keeping dependencies and store policies up to date, fixing bugs, and adding features as your product grows.

Do you work with non-technical founders?

Yes. We'll help you decide what to build first, explain the trade-offs in plain language, and handle the technical side end to end.
