01 — Recent work, Phoenix & beyond
Real apps. Real users. Phoenix proof.

02 — Mobile app development, end to end
What a Phoenix mobile app build actually includes.
Mobile app development isn’t just “the app.” It’s the backend, the admin panel, the push infrastructure, the App Store and Play Store submissions, the analytics, the post-launch maintenance. We do all of it, in-house.
01
iOS app development
Native Swift when the project demands it. React Native when iOS and Android need to ship together. App Store submissions, TestFlight beta distribution, in-app purchases, push notifications, deep linking, offline sync. Production-grade iOS work, not prototypes.
02
Android app development
Native Kotlin or React Native depending on the project. Google Play submissions, internal/closed/open testing tracks, Material 3 design, Android-specific permissions handling, foreground services for tracking apps, Play Console release management.
03
Web app development
The admin panel that runs the mobile app. The customer dashboard. The reporting tool. Next.js, React, TypeScript, Tailwind — the same stack that powers most modern SaaS. Vercel or AWS deploys, custom domains, SSL, the works.
04
Backend & APIs
Node, NestJS, PostgreSQL, Redis, Bull queues. The infrastructure your mobile app talks to — authentication, data, real-time messaging, push, payments, file storage. AWS or GCP. Production-grade reliability, not weekend-project shortcuts.
05
AI & agentic integrations
Claude, GPT, and Bedrock integrations baked into mobile flows. Document classification, structured extraction, semantic search, natural-language interfaces for operators who don’t want to learn another dashboard. Not the demo kind — the production kind.
06
Maintenance & ongoing engineering
Mobile apps aren’t “done” at launch. iOS and Android update annually, OS-level APIs change, App Store policies shift, and your business evolves. We retain a fractional engineering presence post-launch — capped hours, monthly billing, no surprises.
03 — Why work with a Phoenix-area software company
Local matters. Even for software.
You can hire a development shop anywhere. There’s a reason Arizona companies, and a lot of West Coast companies too, choose a Phoenix-area team for their mobile app build. Four of them, specifically.
— REASON 01
In-person when it matters
Kickoff workshops, design reviews, demo sessions, founder syncs. If you’re in Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tempe, Mesa, Chandler, or Glendale — we’re a 30-minute drive at most. The hard problems get solved faster face-to-face.
— REASON 02
West Coast time-zone alignment
Arizona doesn’t observe daylight saving, so we’re on Pacific time half the year and Mountain time the other half. Either way, we’re aligned with West Coast hours — and our LA office covers Pacific year-round. No offshore-handoff lag.
— REASON 03
Real engineers, not account managers
The person you talk to about your project is the person building it — or the engineer leading the team that builds it. No layered account-management chain. We’ve been a small, senior-heavy team for fifteen years. That’s deliberate.
— REASON 04
We stay accountable because we’re local
If something goes wrong, you can show up at our office. That’s a feature. We have skin in the Phoenix tech community, our reputation is local, and we don’t take projects we can’t deliver. The Yelp model of accountability, applied to engineering.
04 — Frequently asked
The Phoenix-specific questions we get most.
Are you actually based in the Phoenix area?
Yes. Our headquarters is at 4747 S Lakeshore Dr in Tempe, AZ — part of metro Phoenix. We have a second office in Los Angeles, but Tempe is home — we've been here since 2010 and our principals live here.
How much does mobile app development cost in Phoenix?
A focused mobile app for a small business typically runs $40K to $120K. A full operational platform with iOS, Android, and a web admin runs $150K to $400K. Every engagement starts with our 14-Day Audit (low five figures) which produces a fixed-scope build plan and a real estimate before any code gets written. You get a written quote before we start, not a surprise at the end.
How long does it take to build a mobile app?
A focused MVP ships in 8 to 12 weeks. A full operational platform takes 16 to 24 weeks. We start every engagement with a 14-Day Audit that produces a written build plan with realistic timelines. We don't do six-month timelines that turn into eighteen — we scope conservatively and ship.
Do you build for iOS, Android, or both?
Both. Most of our mobile work uses React Native so the same codebase runs on iOS and Android — which keeps cost and timeline reasonable. When a project genuinely needs native Swift or Kotlin (heavy AR, deep system integration, performance-critical games), we build native. The 14-Day Audit decides which is right for your project.
Do you only work with Phoenix-area clients?
No — we have clients across the United States. But Tempe and the broader Phoenix metro is home, and we love working with Arizona companies because in-person meetings are easy and we share the same time zone with the West Coast.
What about App Store and Google Play submissions?
We handle them end-to-end. Apple Developer Program enrollment, Play Console setup, App Store screenshots, marketing copy, privacy nutrition labels, content rating questionnaires, beta testing tracks — all of it. You don't need to figure out App Store Connect by yourself.
What happens after the app launches?
You have three options: take the codebase in-house and maintain it yourself, retain us for ongoing maintenance and feature work (capped hours, monthly billing), or hire someone else. We don't lock you in. Code lives in your repo, infrastructure runs in your cloud account, the work transfers if you ever need it to.
