Questions from teams in Manchester.

No — our developers are in Lahore, Pakistan, and work with Manchester remotely. A typical rhythm is a fifteen-minute stand-up at 10:00 UK time, which is mid-afternoon in Lahore, a shared Slack or Teams channel through the day, and a demo of the latest build every Friday. You always talk to the senior people building your app, never a go-between.
With us, focused MVPs typically start in the mid five figures, while full platforms with several apps and an admin panel run into six. For a retail app, cost depends mostly on how much it shares with your existing store: reading products and orders from Shopify is quick, while custom loyalty rules, returns flows or a headless rebuild add weeks. We price each of those separately, in GBP, so you can launch lean and add the rest later.
Not always. An app pays off when customers buy repeatedly — fashion drops, subscriptions, loyalty programmes — because push notifications, saved payment details and faster checkout lift repeat orders. If most customers buy once a year, your mobile website is usually the better investment. We connect the app to your existing Shopify catalogue, so stock, prices and orders stay in one place either way.
Yes. NHS organisations in England assess digital tools against the Digital Technology Assessment Criteria (DTAC), which covers clinical safety, data protection, technical security, interoperability and accessibility. We build to those areas and produce the technical documentation the assessment asks for. Clinical safety sign-off under DCB0129 needs a qualified clinical safety officer on your side.
