Chatham mobile app development for start-ups and established firms
Chatham’s start-up scene, its student population around the Medway campus and its established service companies all create demand for apps, though for very different reasons. Founders want a product they can test and take to investors. Larger firms want customer portals, booking systems or tools that save staff time. And anyone targeting students needs something that works perfectly on a phone.
We plan, design and build apps that solve a real problem. Our app services cover:
iOS and Android Apps
Apps for iPhone and Android, often built from a shared codebase to save time and budget.
Progressive Web Apps (PWA)
Browser-based apps that install to a home screen, ideal when you want reach without app store friction.
App Strategy and Planning
Defining the problem, users, features and business model before any code is written.
UI Design
Polished interface design that reflects your brand and makes every screen easy to use.
UX Design
Research-led user journeys, tested and refined to remove friction.
Prototype Development
Clickable prototypes and minimum viable products for testing, pitching and fundraising.
Custom Functionality
Accounts, payments, notifications, maps, integrations and admin dashboards built to your spec.
App Support and Updates
Maintenance, bug fixes, OS compatibility updates and new features after launch.
How we build apps with Chatham clients
App development is a collaborative, step-by-step process, and it starts with a proper planning session. We’ll hold it at your Chatham premises or at our Maidstone office, a short drive over Blue Bell Hill, with a video call as an alternative if that’s easier. From there we create wireframes and clickable prototypes you can try on your own phone and share with users or investors. Throughout development you’ll receive test builds, and we meet regularly to review progress and agree priorities for the next stage.
1. Scope
We define the problem, users, features and success measures with you.
2. Wireframes and prototype
We map the journeys and build a clickable prototype for early testing.
3. Visual design
We design the full interface, refining it based on feedback.
4. Build in sprints
We develop in stages, sharing test builds so you can check progress.
5. Release and iterate
We publish to the app stores and keep improving with updates and support.
We build apps for Chatham organisations and for clients elsewhere in Kent and around the UK. Call us on 01622 470474 or get a free quote.

App development in Chatham: frequently asked questions
Can you build an MVP for our start-up?
Yes. We'll help you focus on the features that matter most so you can launch, test and learn quickly.
Will we meet during development?
Yes. We hold regular progress meetings at your Chatham premises or at our Maidstone office, a short drive away, and a video call is an option when that's easier.
Should we build a native app or a PWA?
It depends on your users, the features you need and your budget. A PWA is quicker to launch and easy to share, while a native app suits products people open every day. We'll recommend the best option during planning.
Can you design the app's branding too?
Yes. Our branding team can create or extend an identity for your app.
Do you provide support after launch?
Yes. We offer support plans covering bug fixes, compatibility updates when Apple and Google release new software, and new features as your business and users ask for them.
