Why an app
Why startups & mvps businesses are building their own apps
4 wks
Idea to App Store
Most agencies quote three months. A focused native build ships in about four weeks, so you learn from real users a quarter earlier.
£2,950
Not £25,000
A founder-led studio removes the agency layers, not the software. Same native app, a fraction of the overhead.
100%
Yours to keep
Source code, App Store listing and data are handed over. Version two builds on it instead of starting again.
Sound familiar?
The problem with doing it the old way
✕
Agencies quote £20k+ before you’ve validated anything
✕
No-code builders look like every other app and can’t scale
✕
Offshore builds arrive late, bloated and unmaintainable

FAQs
Startups & MVPs apps, answered
1. How much does an MVP cost?
Our Silver package is £2,950 fixed for a focused first version (up to six screens, design and App Store launch included). Add accounts, payments and a backend and it’s the Gold package at £4,950.
2. How long does it take?
About four weeks from first call to App Store submission for Silver; four to six for Gold. You see builds on your own phone every week.
3. What if I only have an idea?
That’s the normal starting point. Book the free 20-minute call, we scope the one flow that matters, and send free concept screens before you commit.
4. Can I add Android later?
Yes. We launch iOS first so you validate faster, then scope Android or a web platform once real users have proved the idea.
Ready to see your app?
Three free concept screens, a fixed quote, and a build that starts in about four weeks.
