App development for start-ups & small businesses
Got an idea for an app, or a part of your business that's crying out for software? I build iPhone, Android and web apps, customer portals and internal tools, explained in plain English and priced up front.
- Fixed price, agreed up front
- Plain English, no jargon
- Looked after once it's live
Sound familiar?
The problems I fix.
- Agencies quote huge numbers and talk in jargon.
- You're not sure where to start or what it should cost.
- Your business runs on spreadsheets, paperwork and the same admin every week.
A plain-English plan
We start with a chat about what you want it to do. I turn that into a simple plan and a fixed price.
Phone and web apps
iPhone and Android apps, and web apps that work in any browser.
Portals and internal tools
Customer logins, booking systems, dashboards and tools that save hours of admin.
Looked after afterwards
Hosting, updates and support, so your app keeps running.

FAQ
Questions people usually ask.
How much does an app cost?
It depends on what it needs to do. Most projects start from £2,500. You'll get a fixed price and a plain-English plan before any work begins, paid in 2–3 stages.
I'm not technical. Is that a problem?
Not at all. You tell me what you want the app to do for you or your customers, and I'll handle the technical side and explain everything in plain English.
Who owns the app once it's built?
You do. Once it's paid for, the app is yours.
How much does a website cost?
A Starter website is £99 to get going and then £39 a month, or £595 if you'd rather pay once. Booking sites start at £59 a month. Online shops and apps are quoted at a fixed price, from £2,500. You'll always know the full cost before anything starts.
What's the free homepage design?
Before you pay anything, I'll design your homepage so you can see exactly what you're getting. If you love it, you pay the deposit and I build the rest. If not, you walk away and owe nothing.
How long does it take?
Most websites are live within a week of getting your details and photos. Booking sites, shops and apps take longer, and I'll give you a date before we start.
Working across Hertfordshire
I'm based in Stevenage and work with start-ups & app ideas all over the county, and further afield by phone and video call.
