A shop, hire library or membership they return to, in your own colours.

Projects, messages and shared details, using the account they already have where supported.
Their community.
Club news, events, teams and the information members keep looking for.

A local conversation
I’m Garreth.
Let’s find the useful bit.
I build the websites and systems behind these apps, so we can look at the whole journey together.
Show me what you already have and where customers get stuck. I’ll explain what an app could help with, what it needs to connect to and the work involved.
I work with businesses across Derby and Nottinghamshire. We can start with a short call, or arrange to meet where it makes sense.

Before you start
A few useful
questions.
We’ll check your website and the proposed journey before deciding what to build.
Can my existing website become an app?
Often, yes. I first check the site, sign-in and the things customers need to do. The app may use your existing website and data, with improvements where the mobile journey needs them. A useful booking, shop or account journey matters more than copying a brochure page.
Will customers need a different account?
Where the existing system supports it, they can use the account they already have. Sign-in, permissions, password recovery and any links into other systems are checked as part of the agreed build.
Can we add bookings, shopping or notifications?
We can scope the functions that fit your business and existing systems. Notifications, payments, bookings and other connections need their own setup and testing. We agree what is included before starting; every example on this page has a different scope.
Is this for Android or iPhone?
This service focuses on Android apps published through Google Play. An iPhone app needs a separate Apple build and review process. We can talk about that as a separate project.
How quickly can it go on Google Play?
The build depends on your website and the work we agree. I prepare the listing, screenshots, privacy information and access for reviewers. Google controls approval and timing. A test build or a submitted release is not the same as a public app.
What does it cost?
You get a written scope and price before committing. It separates the initial app build, any website or integration work, store or supplier fees and ongoing support. Your quote is based on what your customers need the app to do.
Do you work with businesses near me?
I work with businesses across Derby, Nottingham and Nottinghamshire, including Alvaston, Long Eaton, Beeston and West Bridgford. We can start with a short call and arrange an in-person meeting where useful.
What if my business does not need an app?
Then I will say so. If a mobile website or a better booking page does the job, that may be the sensible first step. Start with what your customers need to do and how often they will use it.

What would your app
make easier?
Bring the website you already have, or the idea you want to explore. We’ll work out a useful first step.
