iOS and Android
Reach your whole audience with apps built for both major platforms, designed to feel right at home on each.
Mobile app development
Mobile apps people actually want to use.
We design, build and grow native and cross-platform apps for iOS and Android. From the first idea to a product in the stores and beyond, you work with a senior, UK-based team that cares about how your app performs in real hands, not just how it looks in a demo.
Trusted by established UK businesses
What it is
A mobile app, built around your users and your business.
Mobile app development is how you put your product in your customer's pocket. It is the difference between being something people occasionally remember and something they reach for every day. We build apps for both iOS and Android, choosing native or cross-platform based on what is right for your product, not what is easiest for us.
This is for founders launching a new idea, and for established businesses that need a customer-facing app or an internal tool for their team in the field. If you want an app that feels fast, fits your brand and earns its place on the home screen, you are in the right place.
What you get
Everything your app needs to succeed.
One senior team covering design, build and growth, so nothing falls through the gaps between suppliers.
Native or cross-platform
We pick the right approach for your goals and budget, whether that is fully native or a single shared codebase.
Built to perform
Smooth, fast and reliable, even under real-world load. Performance is treated as a feature, not an afterthought.
Secure by design
Sensible data handling, secure APIs and privacy considered from the start, so your users' trust is protected.
Design people love
Interfaces that are a pleasure to use, shaped by our UI/UX work so people understand them at a glance.
Support and growth
We stay on after launch to maintain, update and improve your app as your users and your business grow.
How we work
From first idea to a product in the stores.
A transparent, collaborative process with no black boxes and no surprises at the finish line.
1
Discover
We dig into your users, your goals and the job your app needs to do, then agree a clear, realistic scope.
2
Design
We shape the user journey and prove it with interactive wireframes, so you can see and feel the app before we build it.
3
Build and test
Senior engineers build in short, visible sprints with continuous testing on real devices, so quality stays high throughout.
4
Launch and grow
We handle submission to the App Store and Google Play, then stay on to support, measure and improve your app.
Why Codebased
A senior team that treats your app like its own.
No hand-offs to juniors, no disappearing after launch. Just experienced people who care about the result.
Senior people, start to finish
The people who scope your app are the people who build it. You never get handed off to a junior team once the contract is signed.
UK-based and close at hand
We work with clients across the UK from our Staffordshire base, in your time zone, and we can be in the room when it matters.
Business first, not just features
We care about whether your app moves the numbers that matter, not just whether we shipped what was on the list.
The right tech, not the trendy tech
Native or cross-platform, we recommend what genuinely suits your product, your budget and your roadmap.
Honest and transparent
Clear scope, regular demos and early warnings when something needs a rethink. You always know where things stand.
In it for the long run
We build apps to be maintained and grown, and we stick around to help you do exactly that after launch.
FAQ
Mobile app development questions, answered.
The things businesses most often ask us before starting an app. If yours is not here, just ask.
What platforms do you develop apps for?
We build apps for both iOS and Android, so your product reaches users wherever they are. Depending on your goals and budget, we will recommend either native apps for each platform or a single cross-platform codebase that serves both.
What's the difference between native and cross-platform apps?
Native apps are built specifically for one platform, which gives the best possible performance and access to every device feature. Cross-platform apps share a single codebase across both platforms, which is faster and more cost-effective to build and maintain. We help you choose the right approach, rather than pushing one as a default.
How do you ensure the quality of the app?
Quality is built in from day one, not bolted on at the end. We test continuously through development, from automated unit and integration tests to real-device testing and user acceptance testing, so issues are caught and fixed long before your users ever see them.
How long does it take to develop an app?
It depends on the complexity, the features you need and the depth of the design. A focused first version can be ready in a matter of weeks, while a richer product usually takes a few months from kick-off to launch. After a short discovery call we can give you a realistic timeline for your app.
Can I get updates or changes after launch?
Absolutely. Launch is the start, not the finish. We offer ongoing support and maintenance, whether that is adding features, fixing issues, keeping pace with iOS and Android updates or scaling the app as your user base grows.
Will you help get the app into the stores?
Yes. We handle the technical side of submitting to the Apple App Store and Google Play, including build configuration, store listings and the review process, so your launch goes smoothly and your app meets each store's guidelines.
