An app only makes sense when people need to do something regularly on their phones. In Tonbridge, that might be a sports club managing bookings and members, a trade business letting engineers log jobs from a van, a logistics operator tracking deliveries out of Vale Road, or a local retailer rewarding repeat customers. If a website would do the job just as well, we’ll say so.
We plan, design and build apps at our Maidstone office. We’ll meet you, in Tonbridge or with us, to understand the problem, show you progress in person at each milestone and hand you test versions to try on your own phone. A video call is always an option if that’s easier. These are the services involved:
App projects are long enough that a clear rhythm matters. We work in short stages, each ending with a demo where we show you what’s been built and agree what comes next, at your premises or our office, or by video call if that’s simpler that week. You’ll always know what’s being built, what it costs and what’s still to decide. Because we’re a Kent agency rather than a distant overseas team, you can meet the people building your app and reach them during your working hours.
1. Discovery
We explore the problem, the users and the business case, then recommend native, PWA or no app at all.
2. Prototype
We design and test a clickable prototype to check the idea works before full development.
3. Design
Final UI and UX design for every screen, presented and refined with you.
4. Build and test
Development in stages, with test builds you can install on your own device.
5. Launch and support
App store submission, launch support and ongoing updates as your needs grow.
We develop apps for organisations across Kent and the UK, and Tonbridge clients get the same process from our Maidstone studio. Call us on 01622 470474 or get a free quote.
App development in Tonbridge: frequently asked questions
Do we really need an app, or would a website do?
Often a website or progressive web app is enough. We'll be honest about that in discovery, and only recommend a native app when there's a clear reason.
Can our engineers use the app offline around Tonbridge and the villages?
Yes. We can build offline modes that store work on the device and sync when signal returns, which is useful in patchy rural areas.
Can we meet the team building our app?
Yes. We'll come to you in Tonbridge or welcome you at our Maidstone office throughout the project. Video calls are there for the times a meeting isn't practical.
Can the app connect to our existing booking or accounts system?
In many cases, yes. We'll check what integrations your current systems allow and plan around them during discovery.
Who looks after the app once it's live?
We offer ongoing support and updates, including fixes when Apple or Google release new operating system versions.
