Apps aren’t only for big consumer brands. For a Marden business, a well-designed app might let trade customers place repeat orders, help seasonal staff check rotas and tasks, or give local customers a quick way to book and pay. The common thread is replacing phone calls, paper and spreadsheets with something simpler.
We help you work out whether an app is worth building, then design and develop it with regular meetings at our office or yours. Here’s what we cover:
We begin every app project by understanding the problem in detail, and the best way to do that is to see your current process for ourselves. We’ll come to Marden to watch how orders, rotas or bookings work today, or you can bring it all to our Maidstone office. From there, we plan features and phases, give you designs and prototypes to test on your phone, and build in stages with regular updates. Testing involves you and, ideally, a few of the people who’ll use the app daily. A video call can stand in for any meeting when that’s easier.
1. Map the problem
We look at how things work now and where an app would save time or win business.
2. Define the app
We agree features, platforms, budget and phases.
3. Design and test
We design screens and build a prototype for you and your team to try.
4. Develop
We build, test on real devices and refine before launch.
5. Support
We publish the app and keep it updated and working well.
We build apps for businesses in Marden and across Kent and the UK from our studio in Maidstone. Call us on 01622 470474 or get a free quote.
App development in Marden: frequently asked questions
Could an app help with seasonal staff?
Possibly. Apps for rotas, task lists and updates can help, though we'll check whether a simpler tool would do the same job.
Can trade customers reorder through an app?
Yes. We can build ordering apps with account-specific products and prices, connected to your systems where possible.
Will we meet during the app project?
Yes, at the key stages. We can meet in Marden or at our nearby Maidstone office, or by video call if that's handier.
Should we build an app or a web app?
It depends on how users will access it and your budget. A progressive web app is often a sensible first step.
Will the app work with patchy signal?
We can design apps to cope with weak connections, saving data and syncing when signal returns, where the project needs it.
