App Development, common questions

Straight answers about our app development service.

How much does app development cost in Glasgow?

A focused single-purpose web app starts at £8,000. Apps with user accounts and payments typically run £15,000 to £40,000, and full platforms with native iOS and Android apps sit above that. Every project gets a fixed written quote before we start, so there are no day-rate surprises.

Do I need a native app or a web app?

Usually a web app. A progressive web app opens instantly in any browser, can be installed to the home screen, and costs a fraction of a native build to develop and maintain. We recommend native iOS and Android only when you need push notifications, deep hardware access, or an app store presence, and we will tell you straight which one your project needs.

How long does an app take to build?

A single-purpose app is typically live in 6 to 10 weeks. Larger platforms are phased so you get a working first release early rather than waiting months for everything. The timeline is agreed in the written scope alongside the fixed quote.

Who owns the app when it is finished?

You do. Source code, design files, and the accounts it runs on are all in your name once the project is complete and paid for. If you ever want to move to another developer, you can.

Can the app take payments?

Yes. We build Stripe into apps for one-off payments, deposits, and subscriptions. It is the same stack that runs our own online print store, so it is infrastructure we operate every day, not something we set up once a year.

What does the design process look like?

We start with a brief to understand your goals, then move through research, wireframes or concepts, design, revisions, and final delivery. You have input at every stage.

What is the typical turnaround time?

Most projects take 2-4 weeks depending on scope. Simpler work like landing pages can be faster; larger builds take longer. We confirm timelines before starting.

How many revisions are included?

All projects include two rounds of revisions as standard. Additional rounds can be arranged if needed.

What file formats do you deliver?

We deliver source files in their native format (e.g. Figma, PSD, AI) plus production-ready exports such as PDF, PNG, SVG, or deployed code depending on the project.

How should I brief you on my project?

Use our contact form or email us with a summary of what you need, your target audience, any brand guidelines, and your timeline. We will follow up with any questions.
