Build an app with purpose
There are endless possibilities when producing a mobile app. Part of the process is discovering exactly what you need your app to do, and how you would like your customers to use it.
We need to consider;
- Why are we creating the app - identify the benefits it will deliver to your users?
- How will it add to the user experience of your business and brand?
- What do we want users to be able to do and achieve when using the app?
- Who will be using your app, and how do we tailor the app to their needs?
Showcase Apps
The base of any app is to showcase your business and content. Perfect for services, publishers, venues, attractions and locations to communicate with users.
A showcase app will have;
- Strong branding with user-friendly design and navigation
- Service, information, and enquiry pages with forms, galleries and media.
- Notifications to users for news, offers and updates.
- Article publication and social media integration for sharing.
- User account and preferences to offer a personalised experience.
A showcase mobile app allows you to deliver content directly to the palm of your users' hand, keeping you and your business at the forefront of their minds.
Ecommerce Apps
An extension to the base features, ecommerce apps allow you to sell your products and services direct to your customers.
Ecommerce apps offer;
- User-friendly product, category, service and purchase pages.
- Effective browsing and in-app search facilities.
- Secure ordering, checkout and payment gateway.
- Efficient stock, and customer management
- Order processing, invoicing and reporting.
Ecommerce apps are furnished with all of the features and tools you require to offer your customers the best possible user experience.
You should also have everything you need to manage your business effectively, complete with a comprehensive management suite, reporting and analytical insights.
Interactive Apps
Interactive apps are where our imagination is the only limit of what is achievable.
Some examples of interactive app features include;
- Tracking features, such as health and fitness, GPS map based systems
- Member subscriptions - enabling users to subscribe to services/content with monthly/annual payments
- Educational & activities - such as online courses, quizzes and assessments

We build completely tailored interactive apps with features designed specifically for your customers.
These come complete with all the resources, reporting and communication tools you require.
We work closely with you to produce the perfect mobile app
We love making apps, and we love making them excel! In learning about your business, we ensure we can give each of our projects the same care and attention to detail, big or small.
Our goal with every project is to;
- Understand your business, brand and online goals, coupled with research of your competitors, consumers and industry.
- Create an intuitive, user-friendly app design to represent and effectively showcase your brand.
- Build an optimised, responsive app, delivering your products and services direct to your target audience.
- Support your online business, empowering you with the knowledge and tools for you to thrive.
Here you can learn a little more about the process, so you know what to expect from the different stages of development.
Research, Specification & Quote
At this first stage, our aim is to understand everything about you and your business.
We will discuss your ideas, app requirements and goals to gain a complete picture of what we need to achieve from your project.
Following our discussion and some initial research, we will produce a proposal including;
- Our understanding of your business, services and industry sector, along with what we are aiming to achieve
- An outline of your target audience (and competitors)
- A breakdown of your current online presence and key avenues for promotional activities
- Mobile App key features and requirements
- A specification of your app and content management system
- Examples of related work
- Project cost, terms and timescales
Once we have agreed the specification and the project has been actioned, we can officially welcome you on board and get stuck into the first stages of development.
Planning, Concept & Design
Drawing from our initial research, we now work with you to plan the structure of your mobile app and build this into a functional working concept.
We share with you a development platform link on which you can see your app being built, discuss and provide feedback at each stage.
During this stage, we will work together to;
- Produce the design, branding and colour scheme for your app
- Build the initial layout and structure to demonstrate the user experience and flow
- Decide on the navigation and core page types required
- Plan your content creation with you, and what needs to be produced for your pages
- Select appropriate imagery and media content
- Choose the right fonts, sizing and display style
- Evaluate the initial concept in line with the project goals
In summary, this stage is dedicated to the design, look and feel of the app. This allows us to see the core features in the context of your branding and gain a true reflection of the user experience.
Build & Development
Once we have our initial concept in place, we will proceed to build and integrate all of the key features and functionality required for your mobile app.
This will all be done on the live development link, allowing you to test, discuss and provide feedback as we work.
The development stage includes;
- Core features such as ecommerce, booking systems and tracking features will be built into the app
- The app will be fully integrated onto your EOS Content Management System
- Registration processes, account areas and user processes will be implemented
- The app will be developed and adapted for responsive display across mobile and tablet devices
- All processes will be tested and reviewed together as part of this process
- We will discuss and implement feedback to finalise the complete working flow of the app
Seeing your ideas come together into a fully functional app is one of the most exciting parts of this process. Communication is key, and we value your input at every stage.
Content & Training
Once your app is built, it's time to get you behind the wheel. This is where we introduce you to your admin area and work with you to get your app populated with all of your content.
During this stage, we will;
- Provide 1 to 1 Training - either in person or via telephone on screen share
- Advise on content structure and optimal placement for user experience
- Furnish you with online guides, resources and checklists to assist with your app management
- Review content pages with you to make sure your content is being delivered in the most effective way possible
Whilst you become a digital pro and populate your app with content, we will work with you to ensure you achieve the look and feel for your content, service and product pages.
App Launch
Once your mobile app is populated with your content, it's time to begin your launch preparations.
Our launch process includes;
- Moving your app to the live server under holding page.
- Comprehensive live testing of all features, functions and processes.
- Design evaluation and responsive testing.
- Implementing feedback and required modifications.
- Submission to Apple Store & Google Play Store

Canal Safari App - Montgomeryshire Wildlife Trust
We developed a highly interactive, Canal Safari App which plots visitor location and journey, notifying them of species encounters, nature reserves and points of interest as they go.
The app is built on a beautiful illustrative map and allows users to spot, record and share their species sightings on their journey.
The app is fully integrated with Facebook & Instagram, as well as iRecord, allowing visitors to upload their sightings direct to the national species database.
Planning your new app development?
Your app needs to demonstrate what makes you unique and gets the appeal of your brand recognised.
Your app must be simple to use, easy to navigate and look fantastic.
Visitors must be able to quickly and easily be able to find the services, products and information they are looking for whether they are using a mobile or tablet!
