Paperwork, phone tag and double bookings eat into the working day for a lot of Herne Bay businesses. A trade firm might be juggling job sheets and photos across a dozen WhatsApp chats. A salon might be losing time to no-shows. A care provider or cleaning company might need a better way to schedule staff.
We build apps and web apps that tackle problems like these, for iOS, Android and the browser. We’ll come to Herne Bay to see how things work now, and test versions go straight to your phone. Here is what an app project with us can include:
We start by looking at the problem, not the technology. What takes too long? Where do mistakes happen? Who would use the app, and on what device? Sometimes the answer is a simpler web tool or a better use of software you already have, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. When an app is the right solution, we design it with the people who’ll use it, test prototypes early and build in stages so you can see progress. We meet you face to face throughout, coming to Herne Bay or hosting you in Maidstone, and test builds go onto your own devices so you can try them properly. Video calls are there for quick updates.

App development in Herne Bay: frequently asked questions
Can you build an app to replace our paper job sheets?
Yes. We can build apps for job details, photos, signatures and notes, with information sent back to the office instantly.
Can customers book appointments through an app?
Yes. We can build booking, reminders and payments, or link to a booking system you already use.
Will you come to see how we work?
Yes. Seeing your process in person helps us design a better app, so we'll visit at key stages. You're welcome at our office too, and video calls are an option.
How much does an app cost?
It depends on the features and platforms. We'll give you a clear quote after the planning stage, and can suggest a smaller first version to keep costs down.
Would a website do the job instead?
Sometimes. If you mainly need customers to find and contact you, a strong website may be enough. Take a look at web design for Herne Bay businesses.
