    The first version of your app for iPhone and Android, built from one codebase.

What changes the price

These are the main things that move the price up or down:

  • Number of pages. More pages take more time.
  • Custom or adapted design. A design made from scratch costs more than adapting one to your business.
  • Features. Forms, logins, payments and connections to other systems all add work.
  • Your deadline. A tight timeline can change the cost.

We don't write the text for your site. You provide it.
