Web & mobile apps
Web and mobile apps built with Laravel, Next.js, React Native and TypeScript, from the first working version through the changes that come after launch.
The Problem
Many app projects stall between the idea and a version real users can try. The scope keeps growing, or the first build can't be changed without breaking something.
Taking over an app someone else started is its own problem: no documentation, half-finished features and nobody left to ask.
What I Do
I start with the smallest version that does the job for real users, agree it with you, and build that first.
I pick the stack for the job: Laravel or Node.js for the back end, Next.js for the web, React Native with Expo for iOS and Android, and Supabase or Firebase when a managed back end saves time.
I use AI-assisted development to move faster on routine work, and review what ships myself.
Deliverables
- A written scope for the first version.
- The app, in a repository you own.
- Staging and production deployments.
- App store submission, when the project includes mobile.
- Handover notes covering setup, deployment and what to build next.

Questions
Can you take over an app someone else built?
Yes. I start by reading the code and getting it running, then tell you what's solid, what's risky and what I'd fix first, before quoting further work.
Should we build a web app, a mobile app, or both?
It depends on where your users are. A web app is faster to ship and update. A React Native app shares most of its code between iOS and Android. Many projects start on the web and add mobile once the idea is proven.
Who owns the code?
You do. The code lives in a repository under your account, and hosting and app store accounts are in your name.
Do you use AI to write code?
Yes, as a tool. It speeds up routine work like boilerplate and tests. Design decisions, security and review stay with me.
Do you also work on Shopify and WordPress?
Yes. I work on Shopify, WordPress and WooCommerce, Drupal and Laravel, so the website, the store and the app can share one developer.
How much does an app cost?
It depends on the scope. After a short call, I send a written scope for the first version and a quote.
Get a quote
Every project is different, so pricing comes after I understand yours. Here's how it goes:
- Tell me what you need. Email me what you want built or what's broken. Links, screenshots and the platform you're on help. I reply to every enquiry within one business day.
- Get a scope and a quote. I reply with questions, then a written scope and a quote. Nothing starts until you agree to it.
- Review on staging. I build or fix on a staging copy, and you review before anything changes on your live site or app.
- Launch and handover. We go live together and you get handover notes. Any bug in work I delivered, reported within 30 days of launch, is fixed free. I can keep looking after it after that.
