Cross-platform mobile app development

It depends on your users, not on fashion. A well-made cross-platform app or an installable web app covers most business needs at a fraction of the cost of two native codebases. Truly native work earns its price when you need deep hardware access or top-of-the-frame graphics. Discovery ends with a recommendation and the reasoning behind it.

New projects are fixed-price, with a written scope and quote agreed after discovery and before development starts. Changes and maintenance can be provided at an agreed hourly rate. Because one codebase targets both platforms, a cross-platform project avoids the double cost of separate iOS and Android teams. Any work outside the original scope is discussed before it starts.

Not always. If your app is meant for customers or staff you already talk to, an installable web app can skip the stores, their review cycles, and their fees entirely. When distribution genuinely needs the App Store or Play Store, I handle the submission process with you. The trade-offs are part of discovery, not an upsell.

You do — completely. When a project is paid for, the source code, configuration, and documentation I produced are yours, with no license fees and no lock-in. If you ever want the work continued by another developer, everything needed to pick it up is in the handover.

Operating-system updates can require compatibility fixes. Changes and maintenance can be provided at an agreed hourly rate, with the work and rate discussed before I start. Monitoring is available if purchased separately. Ongoing compatibility work is not an unlimited inclusion in the initial project price; you choose which updates and improvements to commission.

Scoped during discovery, in writing, alongside the quote. A focused app on one platform family is typically a matter of weeks; anything with accounts, payments, or deep device integration takes longer and is staged so you can test on your own phone from the first weeks.
