Build: engineering

Mobile app development for iOS and Android

We design and build mobile apps for Adelaide and Australian businesses, for customers or for your own team, and support them after they reach the App Store and Google Play.

Good reasons to build an app

  • Customers come back often

    Bookings, loyalty, ordering or account management are faster in an app than a browser.

  • Your team works away from a desk

    Field staff need checklists, photos, signatures and job details on their phones, even offline.

  • The phone is the product

    Camera, location, notifications or NFC are central to what you offer.

  • You are launching a new idea

    A focused first version gets the product into users’ hands quickly so you can learn what to build next.

What we deliver

  • iOS app development

    Apps for iPhone and iPad built to Apple’s guidelines, including App Store submission, like our Link digital business card app.

  • Android app development

    Apps tested across the screen sizes and Android versions your customers actually use, published on Google Play.

  • Cross-platform development

    One codebase for iOS and Android with frameworks such as React Native or Flutter, to reduce build and maintenance cost.

  • App UI/UX design

    Navigation, screens and interactions designed and prototyped before development starts.

  • Back end and integrations

    The APIs, databases and admin tools behind the app, connected to the systems you already use.

  • Testing, maintenance and support

    Functional, usability and device testing before release, then updates as iOS and Android change.

Native app or web app?

Many ideas work better as a progressive web app, which needs no app store and costs less to maintain.

A web app is often enough when

  • people use it occasionally
  • it is mainly forms, content and dashboards
  • you want one product for every device

A native app earns its cost when

  • people open it daily
  • you need push notifications, camera or offline use
  • app store presence matters to your customers

How an app project runs

  1. Shape the first version

    Agree the core user journeys and the features that can wait.

  2. Prototype

    A clickable prototype on your phone, so you can test the flow before code is written.

  3. Build and test

    Development in stages with test builds you can install, plus device and usability testing.

  4. Release and support

    App Store and Google Play submission, then updates, monitoring and new features.

Questions we often hear

Something else on your mind? Ask us directly.

Should I build for iOS, Android or both?

Most businesses need both. Cross-platform development lets us ship to both stores from one codebase; a single platform makes sense when your audience clearly favours one.

Do you publish the app to the App Store and Google Play?

Yes. We prepare the listings and builds and handle submission; the developer accounts are opened in your business name so you own the listing.

What happens after launch?

Apps need regular updates as operating systems change. We offer ongoing maintenance covering updates, fixes, monitoring and new features.
