Desktop app development

When a desktop app makes sense

Most business tools work well in a browser. A desktop app earns its place when the work needs more than a browser can offer: handling large files, working with printers, scanners or other equipment, running without a good connection, or being fast and always at hand on a staff computer.

What we build

• Internal tools for jobs, stock, quotes or reports that your staff use all day.
• File and data tools that process, sort or convert large amounts of information.
• Companion apps that sit alongside your website or mobile app and share its data.

How we build it

We build desktop software as a cross-platform app, so one build runs on both Windows and Mac. That keeps the work, and so the cost, lower than writing the software twice. We start by agreeing the few things it must do, design a clear interface, build the first version and test it on the computers you use.

Installing and updating

We set up an installer so your team can get the app easily, and agree how updates reach them, so the software stays secure and keeps working as computers change.

What shapes the cost

How many screens and features the app has, what it needs to connect to, whether it stores data locally or online, and your timeline. We keep prices fair for small businesses, from simple tools to complex apps, and you get a free, fixed, written quote before we start.
