Mobile apps
Why you need a mobile app.
By 2026, users spend more than 4 hours a day in mobile apps, and attention everywhere else, browser, email, social, is fragmented. A dedicated mobile app puts your brand in your user's pocket: push notifications that bring people back, touch-optimized experience, native features (camera, GPS, biometrics) that aren't possible in a browser, and an icon on the home screen that sets you apart from any mobile site.
We build native mobile apps (Swift for iOS, Kotlin for Android) or cross-platform (React Native), depending on your budget and needs. We handle the full cycle: design, development, testing, App Store and Google Play submission, maintenance and ongoing updates. We launch apps for startups, brands and companies that want to be where their customers are.
What's included in a mobile app from us.
From the first prototype to the store launch, every app comes with the foundations needed to be ready to grow.
Swift/SwiftUI for iOS, Kotlin for Android. Maximum performance, native animations, perfect integration.
React Native when you want a single codebase for both platforms and a faster launch.
Targeted, scheduled or triggered notifications. Bring users back exactly when it matters.
The app works without internet. Data syncs automatically when the connection returns.
Subscriptions, one-off payments, premium content. Integration with App Store and Google Play.
Face ID, Touch ID, Apple Sign In, Google, Facebook. Fast auth, no passwords to remember.
Photo/video capture, barcode/QR/OCR scanning. Full access to camera and gallery.

How we work
We don't invent new methodologies on every project. We have a clear, five-step process we've followed for 19 years. You always know where we are and what's next.
We sit down together, understand your business, goals, and audience. We come out with a clear brief and a realistic budget.
Wireframes first, then custom design. We iterate with you until the look and flow feel right before we write a single line of code.
Clean, modern, tested code. You get access to a live staging environment where you can follow progress in real time.
Production migration, SEO checks, Core Web Vitals, analytics tracking. We only launch when everything is green.
We don't disappear after launch. Maintenance, updates, new features, whatever you need to grow.

Client stories.
I worked with The Web Design Company for 6 months on different projects and I can recommend them with confidence. They commit fully to the project they're working on and make sure every detail in the brief is delivered exactly to your requirements. We had some really tight, important deadlines, and every time they came through with results above our expectations.
John McClelland
Senior Product Manager – SoundCloud
The Web Design Company team turned out to be true professionals. They delivered the project on time and exactly to our specs. Throughout the collaboration, everyone involved was incredibly attentive to detail, and the final result was exactly what we had in mind.
Mirona Păun
Clinical Psychologist & Psychotherapist
We sent them some abstract user experience concepts that they managed to turn into a perfectly functional app, tailored to our audience (Chicago, IL). Tasks were finished and delivered on time and consistently. Communication, one of their strongest points, was a big reason the project turned out a success.
Skylar Roebuck
Chief Technology Officer – Solvd
They understood my needs perfectly. They built exactly the website I wanted. Both the design and the code are executed "clean" and well organized. Very happy with the result!
Mátyás Fábián

The Web Design Company team pays close attention to detail. They're resourceful and brought great ideas to the table. They're the kind of people who actually want to understand the client and see the vision. I was really happy to work with them and I'd do it again.

FAQ.
Depends on the project. Native (Swift for iOS, Kotlin for Android) is ideal when performance is critical, when you use advanced hardware features (AR, ML, BLE), or when you want UI that feels 100% native. Cross-platform with React Native is faster to develop (a single codebase for both platforms), cheaper long term and good enough for 80% of apps. At consultation we honestly recommend what fits you.
Google Play is fast, approval usually takes a few hours to 2-3 days. App Store is stricter: first submission takes 1-7 days, subsequent updates usually 24-48 hours. We handle the whole process: screenshots, descriptions, policy compliance, review responses.
We recommend you own the accounts (Apple Developer $99/year, Google Play Console $25 one-time), so the app and brand stay 100% yours. We help you open them, set everything up, but the account stays under your company.
iOS and Android release major versions every year, plus minor updates. Monthly maintenance includes compatibility with new versions, fixes, crash monitoring, optimizations. Starts at €300/month for Standard apps. For Enterprise apps, the first 3 months are included.
For major updates, we go through App Store Connect and Google Play Console (with review). For urgent fixes we can use solutions like CodePush (React Native) or Firebase Remote Config, which allow changes without re-submission. The strategy is discussed at the start.
Yes. If you already have a backend (Laravel, Node, Django, etc.) with an API, we integrate directly. If you don't have a backend, we build it (Laravel or Firebase) or use Firebase directly for simple apps with no server of your own.
We use Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) for both platforms, integrated with an admin dashboard where you can send manual, user-segmented or automated (from the backend) notifications. They can be targeted (one user, a group, everyone), scheduled or event-triggered.
Before submission we use TestFlight (iOS) and Internal Testing (Android) so you and your team can test the app on real devices without it being public. Then we run QA on multiple devices (older iPhones, low-RAM Androids, tablets) to catch edge cases.
