Custom business apps for UK small businesses
A focused app can add a secure login, bookings, customer records or notifications to your website. The £999 website-and-app package is a small first version; larger platforms with more workflows, users or integrations start from £2,500. Both are separate from our ongoing IT Director service.
The problem we keep seeing
- You're juggling spreadsheets, email and three SaaS tools that don't talk to each other.
- Off-the-shelf software makes you change your process — not the other way round.
- Hiring a developer is expensive and leaves you with something nobody maintains.
What we build
- Booking, scheduling and dispatch tools shaped around your job flow
- Customer portals where clients see jobs, invoices, files and updates
- Internal CRMs and job boards that replace the spreadsheet
- Quote, invoice and reminder automations wired into your website
- Reporting dashboards that show what's actually moving the numbers
How it works
- Step 1DiscoveryA 20-minute call to understand the job-to-be-done.
- Step 2Choose the right scopeWe separate a focused first app from a larger platform before we quote, so the boundaries are clear.
- Step 3Design & buildWe design the app, connect it to your website and show you each important workflow before launch.
FAQs
How long does a custom business app take to build?+
Most first builds go live in 4–8 weeks. We start with the smallest version that's actually useful, then layer on from there.
Do I own the app?+
Yes. Once paid for, your project, code, files and data can be transferred to you. Care and hosting are optional ongoing services, not a lock-in.
What does a custom business app cost in the UK?+
A website plus app package is £999 one off, and larger platforms are scoped on a call from £2,500. Monthly care is £50.
Is this the same as the IT Director service?+
No. Website and app builds are fixed-price projects. The IT Director service starts at £1,000 a month for ten hours of senior technology work, supplier oversight and planning.
