Mobile app development

Mobile apps built around the systems behind your business.

We help small businesses and specialized organizations turn a useful idea into an app people can actually use. That can include the iPhone, iPad, or Android app itself, along with the website, database, or API it needs to connect to.

How we can help

From the first idea to an app in people’s hands.

You may need help with the whole project or just one difficult part. We can start wherever the project is today.

Shape the idea

  • Decide who the app is for and what it should help them do.
  • Turn a list of ideas into a practical first version.
  • Design screens that feel clear on phones and tablets.

Build the app and connect the data

  • Develop for iPhone, iPad, and Android.
  • Connect the app to an existing website, database, or outside service.
  • Add sign-in, search, catalogs, content, or other features the app needs.

Test and release it

  • Test the app on the devices it is meant to support.
  • Prepare the store listing and submission.
  • Stay involved through launch and deal with issues that appear afterward.

Keep making it better

  • Add features after the first release.
  • Keep the app working as Apple and Android change.
  • Use real feedback to decide what is worth improving next.

When an app makes sense

You have a useful service, archive, member area, or everyday task that would genuinely work better on a phone or tablet.

We can build on what you have

Your current website or database may already contain much of what the app needs. We will look before suggesting that anything be rebuilt.

A real app you can try

Atlas Tales is live on the App Store for iPhone and iPad, and we are working on the Android version now.

Related capabilities: Mobile projects often connect to backend and API development, web development, and automation and workflow systems.
Common questions

Thinking about an app?

You do not need a finished specification before getting in touch. These are good places to begin.

Do you build both iOS and Android apps?

Yes. We build apps for iPhone, iPad, and Android. Atlas Tales is already available for iPhone and iPad, and we are now working on the Android version.

Can an app use our existing website or database?

Often, yes. We can usually connect an app to your existing website, database, or other business system, so useful information does not have to be rebuilt or maintained twice.

Can you help from the first idea through release?

Yes. We can help shape the idea, design and build the app, connect it to your data, test it, prepare it for the app stores, and continue improving it after launch.

Does every business need a mobile app?

No. Sometimes a good mobile-friendly website is the better investment. We will say so if an app would add cost without adding enough value.
