// questions

Good to know.

What's the difference between a website and a web app?

A website mostly tells people things. A web app lets them do things: log in, book, buy, track, manage. Many projects are a bit of both.

Should we build an app or a web app?

If people will use it often, on the move, or need the camera, location or notifications, an app makes sense. For occasional use, a web app is usually quicker and cheaper.

How much does it cost?

It depends on what it needs to do. After a first conversation you get a written proposal with clear costs and what's included, before any work begins.

Can you work with our existing developers or systems?

Yes. We regularly connect to existing systems and can work alongside in-house teams.

Let's build the thing.

Tell us what you're trying to make happen. We'll show you how we'd build it, and what it would take.
