AXS Digital · App development

Web apps and phone apps, built by people who have to live with them.

We take an idea — or a spreadsheet, or a process held together by phone calls — and turn it into software your customers and your staff actually want to open. One team for design, build, launch and support.

Web applications

Software that lives in the browser.

Nothing to install, works on every device, updates the moment we ship it. The browser is still the fastest route from an idea to something your customers can use.

  • Customer & client portals — accounts, documents, orders and status, self-serve.
  • SaaS products — subscriptions, billing, multi-user teams and permissions.
  • Dashboards & reporting — your numbers in one place, updated automatically.
  • E-commerce — storefronts, checkout, payments, inventory sync.
  • Marketing sites — fast, findable and written to convert.
  • Internal tools — the admin panel your team stops complaining about.

Mobile apps

iOS and Android, from sketch to store.

A phone app is not a website in a smaller window. It should feel native, work on a bad signal, and use the hardware in your pocket. We build cross-platform so one codebase serves both stores — and go fully native when a project earns it.

  • One build, two stores — iOS and Android from a single codebase.
  • Offline-first — keeps working in a warehouse basement or a dead zone.
  • Device features — camera, GPS, scanning, Face ID, Apple / Google Pay.
  • Push notifications — the right message, not a nuisance.
  • Store submission — we handle review, screenshots, privacy labels and rejections.
  • Updates after launch — OS releases break things; we keep you current.

Beyond the app itself

The parts nobody advertises — and everybody needs.

Integrations & APIs

Connecting your new software to the systems you already pay for, so data moves by itself.

  • Accounting, CRM and ERP
  • Payment and shipping providers
  • Custom APIs for your partners

Rescue & modernize

Inherited something half-finished or a decade old? We audit it honestly and tell you whether to repair or replace.

  • Code and security audit
  • Takeover from a previous developer
  • Staged rebuild without downtime

Hosting, security & support

Someone has to own uptime, backups and patches. That can be us.

  • Cloud hosting and backups
  • Monitoring and alerting
  • Ongoing support agreements

The process

Fixed scope. Fixed price. Proof every two weeks.

The reason software projects go wrong is almost never the code. It is a scope nobody wrote down and a client who does not see the thing until it is finished. We remove both.

Scope & quote

A working session where we map every screen, rule and edge case. You get a written scope and a fixed price — and you own that document whether you hire us or not.

1–2 weeksWritten scopeFixed quote

Design & prototype

Every screen designed and wired into a clickable prototype you can hand to a real user before we write production code. Changes here cost minutes.

2–4 weeksClickable prototypeDesign system

Build & review

Two-week cycles. At the end of each one there is a link you can open on your own phone. You steer, and you always know what is coming next.

Launch

Release, App Store and Google Play submission, analytics, monitoring and a real launch plan — not just a deployment.

Run or hand over

Stay with us on a support agreement, or take the keys: source code, accounts, documentation and a walkthrough for your own team. No lock-in either way.

Ways to work with us

Pick the shape that fits the problem.

Fixed-scope build

You know what you need. We scope it, price it and deliver it for that number.

  • Best for a defined v1
  • One price, agreed up front
  • Typically 6–20 weeks

Product partner

A monthly retainer for a product that keeps evolving. Continuous design, build and release.

  • Best for live products
  • Predictable monthly cost
  • Roadmap reviewed each month

Audit & rescue

A fixed-fee review of software you already own, with a plain-English report and options.

  • Best before you spend more
  • Two-week turnaround
  • Fee credited if you build with us

Not sure which one? Tell us the problem and we will tell you honestly — including when the answer is an off-the-shelf tool instead of a custom build.

Technology

Boring, proven, well-supported.

We choose tools your next developer will already know. No exotic frameworks chosen to make our lives interesting at the expense of yours.

Questions

The things people ask before they call.

What does an app cost?

It depends entirely on scope, and anyone who quotes you before understanding yours is guessing. As a rough guide: a focused web app or a straightforward phone app usually lands in the low tens of thousands; a full product with accounts, payments, an admin system and both app stores is a larger program. We will give you a real number after the scoping session — and the scope document is yours to shop around with.

How long does it take?

Most first versions run six to twenty weeks from kickoff to launch. Add one to two weeks for App Store and Google Play review on mobile. You will see working software every two weeks throughout, so progress is never a matter of trust.

Do I need both a website and an app?

Often not, and we will say so. If your users come once a month, the web is cheaper and better. If they use it daily, need notifications, work offline or need the camera, a phone app earns its place. Many of our clients start with the web app and add mobile once the product has proven itself.

Who owns the code?

You do — outright, on final payment. That includes the source code, the accounts it runs on and the documentation. We do not hold clients hostage; if you want to move to another developer we will help with the handover.

Will you work with our existing team or systems?

Yes. We regularly build alongside an in-house team, and integrating with systems you already run — accounting, CRM, ERP, warehouse and shipping platforms — is a large part of what we do.

What happens after launch?

Software is never finished; it is either maintained or it rots. Operating systems change, dependencies need patching, and real users find things no test did. You can put us on a monthly support agreement, call us as needed, or take it fully in-house. All three are fine.

Let’s scope it.
