Mobile apps, built once, working everywhere

One codebase reaching iOS and Android, backed by services built to the same standard as the app in front of them. A mobile application is the part of a system a customer actually touches, so it is treated as a product with a life after launch rather than as a delivery.

One build, both platforms

Cross-platform development means a feature is specified once, built once and tested once, rather than twice with the two implementations drifting apart between releases. Where a platform genuinely differs, the difference is made deliberately rather than inherited.

Secure services behind the screen

The backend an app talks to carries authentication, authorisation and data handling that a device cannot be trusted to enforce on its own. We build those services alongside the app so the security model is one model rather than two that have to agree.

Design work starts from what the user is trying to finish, on a small screen, often in one hand and with limited attention, which is a harder constraint than it sounds and the one most mobile products fail on.

How the work runs

  1. 01

    Design around the task

    We map the journeys the application exists to serve and design the screens around them, so the interface follows the work rather than the data model. Prototypes are reviewed before implementation starts.

  2. 02

    Cross-platform build

    A single codebase targets iOS and Android, with platform-specific behaviour written only where the platforms genuinely differ. Backend services are built in step with the client rather than after it.

  3. 03

    Testing on real devices

    Automated tests cover the logic; device testing covers what automation cannot, including older hardware, poor connectivity and the permission prompts that break a first-run experience.

  4. 04

    Maintenance after release

    Operating system releases, store policy changes and security updates arrive whether or not a project is open. We keep applications current so a working app stays a working app.
