How It Works

From idea to launch in four steps
  1. 1

    Share Your Idea

    Tell us what you have in mind. We'll sign an NDA first if you'd like.

  2. 2

    See a Prototype

    We build a proof of concept so you can see your idea working early.

  3. 3

    We Build It

    Development starts on iPhone, the fastest way to market, then Android.

  4. 4

    Launch

    Your app goes live on the App Store, then Google Play.

 Start With Step 1   Next: Our Own App 

Built By Us: CrumbTrails

Our client work stays private, so here's one of our own

CrumbTrails maps where you've walked, run or driven, so you never get lost.

It has a simple design, it's easy to use and it's built to save battery. It's free, with no ads.

 Next: iPhone or Android? 

iPhone, Android, or Both?

Choosing where to launch first

Your app should reach everyone, so we build for both platforms.

We usually start with iPhone. Development is typically faster, which gets you to market sooner and keeps up-front costs down.

Android comes next, putting your app in front of the larger share of phone users.

 Next: What Will It Cost? 

What Will It Cost?

Pay for what your app needs

Every app is different, so the price depends on its features. The video above walks through what goes into a detailed app. Many apps are simpler and cost much less.

A smart place to start is a Minimum Viable Product (MVP): a simple version of your app without the extras. It proves your concept and costs less to build.

Tell us about your idea and we'll talk through your options.

 Ask About Your App   Next: How Long? 

How Long Will It Take?

Simple or complex, and what an MVP is

Most apps take 4–6 months to build. Thanks to our streamlined process, we've built an app in under 30 days.

Your timeline depends on your app's features and how far along your planning is. Once we're under contract, you'll get an estimated timeline.

Every project includes a prototype, so you see your idea working early, for less time and money.

 Next: Your Privacy 

Your Idea Stays Private

Confidential from the first conversation
Confidential app project documents kept under lock and key

Your idea is safe with us. We keep all client communication strictly private and never share names, contact details or company information.

Need it in writing? We'll sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) before we even speak. That's also why you won't find client logos on this site, and you never will.

We grow by word of mouth. If you share a testimonial, we change any identifying details to keep you anonymous.
