Turn “simple in theory” into a real spec

Watch a vague idea become a fixed-price plan

This is the exact 10-minute conversation we’d have on a call — running itself, so you can see how “I just need an app” becomes a concrete, costed, one-page spec. No jargon, no commitment.

Illustrative range for a 3-screen app like the one above. Your real number is locked in writing on the scoping call — and it doesn’t move unless you change the scope.

No mystery, no runaround

From idea to app store in three honest steps

The hard part of hiring a developer isn’t the code — it’s knowing you won’t get overcharged, ghosted, or handed something dead. So we made every step visible up front.

STEP 01

Scope it in 10 minutes

A plain-English call. We turn “super simple in theory” into a one-page spec you approve — so nobody’s guessing what “done” means.

STEP 02

See a clickable prototype

Before you pay for the full build, you tap through your actual screens on your phone. Love it? We build. Don’t? You owe nothing.

STEP 03

Launch & own it

One codebase ships to both app stores. You get the source, the accounts, and the keys — it’s yours, not rented from us.

The stuff you were actually worried about

The three fears that keep owners from hiring — answered

“Will I get overcharged?”
One fixed price, agreed in writing before any work starts. No hourly meter, no scope-creep invoices.
“What if they disappear or give me a dead app?”
You see the prototype and own the source from day one. If it’s not right, you walk — no lock-in, nothing owed.
“My idea is simple — won’t it balloon?”
The one-page spec locks the scope. Extras are quoted separately, so “simple” stays simple — and stays the price we agreed.

The app most small businesses actually need
