Empower your mobile app vision with an award-winning mobile app development agency.

Full Project Discovery

Every discovery is tailored to specific project needs using the areas of focus to inform techniques we employ and the team we assemble. We pursue answers to the following questions:

• What is the purpose of the app and if it already exists how does it perform?
• What does the app do? What are the key features?
• What are your organisation’s objectives? How does the app support them? How could it do better?
• How is content managed? Do you have a team of editors? Is there an editorial process in place?
• Is the App integrated into the back office or external systems? How can this be improved?
• Is the App usable and intuitive? What opportunities exist to meet user needs better?

Investment in your app should be maintained.

We recommend that once your app is live, even if CTI didn’t create it, you maintain your investment in digital with our Continuous Enhancement Service. On a monthly basis, it is intended to:

• Secure monthly availability of developers and wider agency resources such as SEO, marketing, UX and CRO
• Enable incremental improvements to be rolled out frequently
• Provide strategic consultancy to inform your digital roadmap
• Equip you with the capability to keep pace with innovations and ahead of your competitors
• Ensure time is available to maintain compliance with legislation

What operating systems can you develop apps for?

Most apps we develop are built with both iOS and Android in mind. They usually sit on both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.

How much does a mobile app cost to develop?

Mobile app development costs range anywhere from £20,000 up to £50,000 for a simple app, from £50,000 up to £200,000 for medium complexity apps, and for the more sophisticated apps, anywhere from £250,000+.

These ranges are provided by our own experience, industry standards and research from the well-known B2B review site, Clutch.

How long does it take to build a mobile app?

Similar to the costs of building an app, the time it takes to develop can vary.

A simple app may take 2-3 months on average, a medium complexity app 3-6 months and a complex app 6-9+ months. These are just guides, as each mobile app will vary depending on the complexity and features needed.
