What you get
What’s included in mobile app development
App design
Screens and flows designed for iOS and Android conventions.
Cross-platform build
One React Native codebase for both platforms, with native modules where needed.
Backend & APIs
Accounts, data, notifications and admin tools behind the app.
Push notifications
Timely, targeted notifications that bring people back.
Payments & subscriptions
In-app purchases and subscriptions on both stores.
Store launch
App Store and Google Play listings, submission and release.
Tools we use: React Native, Expo, Swift, Kotlin, Firebase, Node.js.
Choosing
Should you choose a cross-platform app or a native app?
For most apps, we use React Native. It shares a codebase across iOS and Android while rendering each platform’s own interface components. It is written in JavaScript or TypeScript, so web developers can contribute, and some logic can be shared with a React web app. That gives you a way to cover both platforms without maintaining a separate app codebase for each.
Native development fits apps that need deep device features, heavy graphics, complex background work or new platform features at launch. The trade-off is a Swift codebase for iPhone and a Kotlin codebase for Android, each needing maintenance. Flutter is another cross-platform option: it draws its own interface, which suits a highly custom design, though your team needs to work in Dart.
A progressive web app can suit a staff tool and skips store review. It does not appear in the stores unless packaged for them, and iPhone notification requests have a Home Screen requirement. We learn about your audience and goals, then agree the scope with you.
Local
What Alaska businesses need from an app
Alaska’s service and tourism sector includes lodging supported by visitors. For a local restaurant serving repeat customers, an app could bring reordering, loyalty and saved payment details into a fast checkout. Notification timing also deserves attention: a message should give a customer a useful reason to return, without getting in the way of the order.
Seafood is a major export for Alaska, including salmon, cod, pollock and crab. A seafood business considering an app for staff should decide what those staff need to see or change without a signal. Showing previously loaded information takes less work than letting people edit records offline and resolving conflicts when those changes sync later.
Rules
What a US app project has to handle
For a state or local government app, the US accessibility rule requires WCAG 2.1 Level AA. We design the app’s screens and flows against that standard, so accessibility is part of the build scope.
Checkout needs to match what you sell. We set up store purchases for digital content, features and subscriptions used in the app; physical goods and outside services need another payment route. US businesses can sign up to accept payments with Stripe, which is an option to consider for that checkout.
How it runs
How an app project runs with us
We work remotely over video calls, WhatsApp and shared project boards. India is 14h30m ahead of Alaska, or 13h30m ahead in summer. Shared boards give you a place to review progress and leave feedback across that time difference.
- 01
Design
We prepare screens for iOS and Android and refine them with your feedback before writing code. You review the flows against the tasks your customers and staff actually need to complete.
- 02
Prototype
Put the clickable design in front of a few real customers or staff. Their feedback helps expose a confusing screen while it is still cheaper to change than a built feature.
- 03
Build and test
Test builds reach your own phone through TestFlight on iPhone and Google Play’s internal or closed testing tracks. You can try the app in use and tell us what needs attention.
- 04
Release
We handle the store listings, submission and review under your own developer accounts. You retain those accounts, so the release is connected to your business.
Checklist
What to have ready before we talk
Bring the details you already have; they will help define the work.
- Developer accountsRegister Apple and Google accounts in your company’s name. Organisation verification needs a D-U-N-S number, so start early.
- Privacy policyHave a policy that matches the data the app collects; Apple needs a link in the listing and inside the app.
- External softwareNote any analytics or advertising SDKs planned for the app, including the data they collect for store privacy answers.
- Sign-inIdentify the features that need an account and what people should be able to use before logging in.
- Existing systemsList your website, booking system, payment provider or other connections, and identify their APIs and admin access holders.
Cost & time
What affects the cost and timing of an app
The amount of work depends on the flows, connections and infrastructure your app needs.
User types
Customers, drivers and staff each need their own screens and permissions, even when they share a backend.
Live features
Tracking, chat and presence need persistent connections and more backend work than screens that load data on request.
Integrations
Each connection, such as a payment gateway, booking system or scanner, needs setup, testing and failure handling.
Existing infrastructure
A documented API can reduce the work; a new backend and admin panel can be as substantial as the app itself.
Avoid
Mistakes to avoid when building an app
Wrapping a website
A site placed inside an app shell risks store rejection and gives people little reason to install it. Define a useful app experience before building.
Losing control of access
Keep developer accounts, signing access and code repositories in your business’s name so the app is easier to move later.
Leaving moderation until later
If users post content, plan filtering, reporting, blocking and published contact details as part of the app.
Questions
Asked by businesses in Alaska
Page updated 5 November 2026
How much does it cost to develop an app?
There is no fixed price. The main drivers include the app screens, the backend and staff admin panel, and notification setup, including the sending service and message rules. A shared codebase across platforms also shapes the work. We send a free quote once the scope is agreed.
How should I choose an app development company?
Choose a team you can talk to directly and ask how it will assess the app after release. We put you in contact with the people designing and building your product. Useful measures include how often people return, where they leave the main task and the crash-free rate.
Can the app share data with my website?
Yes. We can build a shared backend for your app, website and admin tools. That gives your customers and staff access to the same underlying accounts and data, instead of treating each interface as a separate place to manage them.
Who owns the code and content?
You do. Your code, content and domain belong to you, with no lock-in. That gives your business control over those assets if you decide to make changes or work with someone else later. Ask about ownership when comparing proposals, before agreeing the scope.
What support does an app need after launch?
Plan for maintenance releases, including keeping the app aligned with Google Play’s Android API requirements. Some JavaScript and content fixes can go out over the air using tools such as Expo EAS Update. Native code changes, new permissions and Expo SDK upgrades still need a store release.
What happens if customers want to delete their accounts?
The app needs a deletion route. Apple requires people to be able to start deleting an account inside the app; disabling it alone is insufficient. Google Play also requires an in-app path to delete the account and associated data, plus a web link for deletion requests.
