Custom app development for your business

The app your business puts its own name on.

Bookings, orders, regulars, team: what lands on the phone and on sticky notes today runs through your own app tomorrow — in the App Store and on Google Play.

02What kind of app?

A customer app, a team app — or an idea that's entirely yours.

Not every app is the same: one solves something internal, another is the product itself. Tap through — your project is in here somewhere.

Your business in your customers' pocket

Bookings, orders, loyalty, push offers — the app connects you to your customers directly. No middleman, no commission, published under your own name.

Appointment bookingOrdersCustomer accountLoyalty pointsPush offers

Typically for: Service businesses, restaurants, salons, clinics, retail — anyone with regulars.

Scene: evening rush at the café5:40 PM

The phone rings, the line grows — and the order ends up in a notebook.

Those are exactly the minutes an app collects for you: bookings and orders arrive in order while you serve in peace. No call-backs, no notes, nothing forgotten.

From the field

What an app really changes in a business.

Most businesses don't lose revenue to the competition — they lose it in their own channels: to the phone nobody can answer during the rush, to the note that goes missing, and to regulars they only reach when those regulars happen to walk by. Your own app goes after exactly that, and nothing else.

from $4,000a full app in the stores — under your name
2 weeksto a launch-ready first version; bigger builds 3–4
0%commission: the channel is yours, not a portal's

Your own channel — no commission, no algorithm

On portals and social networks you are a guest: the reach belongs to the algorithm, the customer data belongs to the platform, and on booking portals every reservation carries a commission. Your own app flips that around. Anyone who installed it is one tap away — a push message lands on the lock screen, not somewhere in a feed between a hundred other posts. And it costs nothing per message, whether you reach 50 regulars or 5,000.

Then there is everything people know from the big chains: ordering and booking without a phone call, a loyalty program without a paper card, a status you don't have to ask about. Your customers already use apps like that — at Starbucks, at their bank, with a delivery service. What's new is that this kind of app is now affordable for a single business: under your name, in your colors, in both stores.

A website waits for someone to show up. An app speaks up.

When an app doesn't pay off

Honesty belongs here too: an app is not worth it for everyone. If you live purely on walk-ins who come once and never return, you don't need your own channel — a good website with opening hours does the job. And if all you want is a digital business card, you can have it cheaper without the App Store.

An app pays off as soon as people come back or a team needs organizing: regulars, appointments, orders, shifts. Whether your business is one of those, we work out in the first conversation with your real numbers — and if a website is the better answer, we say so.

What happens between the idea and the store

Every app has three layers: the surface your customers see, the logic behind it — booking rules, prices, permissions — and the server where the data sits safely. We build all three and run them too: updates, monitoring, store maintenance. You need neither your own servers nor new devices; the admin panel runs on the phone, tablet or computer you already have.

The road there is shorter than most expect: a starter package is usually launch-ready in two weeks — from $4,000, as a full app under your own name. In the first days nothing gets programmed; we listen and sketch. From the second week you test a preview on your own phone. And once it's live, a QR sign on the counter or one line on the receipt is enough for the app to find its way to your customers.

How many calls go unanswered during your rush — and how often do you actually reach your regulars? Tell us, and we'll run the numbers with yours.

03No buzzwords — do the math

What does the busy signal cost, in numbers?

Move the sliders and the total follows.Worked example
Calls per week nobody answers12
Average order value$60
Calls per week that go nowhere12 — rush hour, after closing, holidays
Of those, would have become orders≈ every third one

≈ $12,500 in revenue per year that the busy signal currently takes with it.

The app takes bookings and orders when nobody can pick up — at night, in the rush, on a Sunday. Without hiring anyone.

Half a minute · you end up with a proposal and a fixed price

This is how your app will look in the store.

No slide decks, no mockup promises: this is what the store page we publish for you looks like — your name, your logo, your colors.

Two minutes instead of three phone calls. The status comes to my phone, I pick it up, done.

Rescheduling finally works without calling. The reminder the day before has saved my appointment twice already.

05Behind the studio

Who actually builds your app?

No off-the-shelf builder, no chain of anonymous contractors: an owner-run development studio that designs, codes and looks after apps for businesses in any trade itself.

20 yrs web · 8 yrs apps 6 apps of our own iOS · Android · web Fixed price in writing

Have a nice day — an owner-run development studio: the person you deal with is the developer himself.

We are in the stores ourselvesWe publish and operate our own apps — you can see which ones further up. Going through store review month after month teaches you what really matters.
Everything under one roofConcept, design, code, store submission and day-to-day operation — nothing is handed to subcontractors or shipped offshore. If it says Have a nice day, Have a nice day did the work.
You talk to the developerAt the other end sits the person who actually writes your app. No ticket system, no call center — in German, English or Russian.
More than 20 years of experienceOver 20 years of web development and 8 years of apps for iOS and Android — the ones in the stores above are the latest result of that work.
A fixed price before we startWhat the project costs is agreed in writing before the first line of code exists. No surprises from a timesheet.
Speed from modern toolingWe work with current technology and AI assistance. That is why we measure projects in weeks rather than quarters and stay below what agencies charge — every single line still gets reviewed by us.

06How it goes

Two weeks — and your app is in the store.

This is how a starter package comes together: the same app, step by step. Bigger projects take three to four weeks — the path stays the same.

07Set packages, set prices

What does it all cost?

There is no hourly billing and nothing added on afterwards: you choose a package, you get a fixed price for it, and you know in advance what is included. Even Start is a complete app — the larger packages add features and deeper technology, not better quality.

Included everywhere: App Store, Google Play and the browser — along with hosting, updates and support. The only difference is the feature set.

Start

from $199 / month

  • We build it, run it and maintain it; you pay monthly
  • Updates, new features and support are part of it
  • The source code stays with us at first and becomes yours once it is paid off in full

Depending on the feature set, projects land between $4,000 and roughly $30,000 — how far your app goes is your call. We name the fixed price after a short conversation, free and without obligation.

The three packages are typical sizes; anything in between is possible too. The math: base package $4,000, each additional module about +$900, each connection to an existing system about +$2,500. The shows what every single feature costs.

Where do the speed and the price come from? We work with current tooling, AI included — the time we save goes back into the price, the care stays handmade.
