Why an app

Your customers already live on their phones.

An app is not a smaller website. It is a direct, owned channel to the people who already buy from you.

A permanent spot on the home screen

Your brand earns an icon on the phone, one tap away. No URL to type, no search, no browser tab to lose.

A direct line back to customers

Send order updates, new arrivals, and offers straight to the lock screen. A channel you own, with no algorithm in the way.

Native speed on every tap

Instant screens, smooth scrolling, and gestures that feel right. A native app beats a mobile site on every interaction.

Use cases

Four kinds of apps we build most.

If your business runs on WordPress, it can run as an app. These are the most common starting points.

Most popular

WooCommerce store app

A full store: browsing, cart, checkout, orders, and account. Built for performance and repeat purchases.

Live product and inventory sync from WooCommerce
Apple Pay and Google Pay at checkout
Order tracking and one-tap reorder
Customer accounts, saved addresses, and wishlists

Membership app

User accounts, gated content, subscriptions, and access control, synced with WordPress.

Content and news app

Articles, categories, push notifications, and updates, all managed from WordPress.

Custom app

Dashboards, tools, booking systems, or internal workflows. If it runs on WordPress, it can become an app.

Features

What your app ships with.

WordPress API integration

A real-time connection to your site content, users, and data.

WooCommerce support

Products, cart, checkout, orders, and account management.

User authentication

Login and account sync with your existing WordPress users.

Push notifications

Alerts for orders, updates, and re-engagement.

Offline support

Basic access to content even with limited connectivity.

App Store submission

Publishing handled for iOS and Android, approvals included.

Architecture

Three layers. One source of truth.

Your WordPress site stays the source of truth. The app connects to it directly. No duplicate systems, no second place to update.

APIWordPressMOBILE APP
01
WordPress site

Content, users, orders, and data are managed in one place, the way you already work.

02
REST API or WPGraphQL

A secure data layer between WordPress and the app. It reads and writes, both ways.

03
Native mobile app

Fast and responsive, built for real usage on iOS and Android, not a wrapped website.

The difference

A real native app. Not your site in a frame.

Plenty of "apps" are just a mobile website wrapped in an icon. They feel slow, break offline, and get rejected by the stores. We build the genuine thing.

How we build it

From brief to App Store.

Four stages, clear handoffs, no surprises. You see and approve progress at every step.

01

Discovery

We review your WordPress setup, data structure, and what the app needs to do.

02

UI design

Mobile-first screens designed for usability and speed, shared for your sign-off.

03

Development

The native app, built and connected to your WordPress backend through the API.

04

App Store launch

Submission, compliance, and publishing to both stores, handled end to end.

Start the conversation

Not sure what your app should do?

That is what discovery is for. Tell us about your WordPress setup and we scope the right app with you.

Existing apps

You already have an app. Someone has to keep it working.

Who is that today? Find the line that sounds like yours, then see what happens next.

What happens next

Where the code is, and who holds the store accounts.

The App Store and Google Play hold the finished app, not the code it was built from.

  • We take over apps other teams built.
  • It starts with a discovery call, where you or someone on your side walks us through what exists and who holds it.
  • A store listing can be moved to your own account with its ratings and reviews, once the current holder starts the transfer.

What happens next

Where possible, a fix in the existing code, then store review.

iOS and Android keep changing, and an app has to be updated to keep up. An update to the app reaches your users only after Apple or Google has reviewed it.

  • Tell us on the discovery call what broke, and since when.
  • If it can be fixed in the existing code, you get a price for the fix.
  • Once you approve it, we make the fix and take the update through store review.

What happens next

Whose account the membership is in, and who renews it.

Apple's developer membership renews every year. If it lapses, the app can no longer be downloaded or updated, though it keeps working for people who already have it. Renewing normally puts it back.

  • That is one of the first things we ask on the discovery call.
  • Ongoing maintenance is worked out case by case, around the app and what you need.

What happens next

Each email comes with a date. A date can be planned for.

Every year, Google Play raises the Android version an app must be built for. Apple gives 90 days to update an old app it has flagged for removal.

  • Bring the emails to the discovery call.
  • We go through what each one is asking for, and by when.

What happens next

We look at the app and the site together.

The app signs people in and loads its content through your WordPress site. So a plugin update or a host move on the site can show up as a fault in the app.

  • On the discovery call, tell us what changed on the site and when the app stopped.
  • One team looks at both, so the fault is not passed back and forth between two suppliers.

  3. 03You approve

More than one of these, or something else? The first step is the same: a discovery call, so we understand the app and what you need from it. What follows depends on the app. You get a quote in writing, and no work starts until you approve it.

FAQ

Before we get to work.

Questions about the build, the review process, taking over an existing app, and what your WordPress site needs to power it.

No. Your existing WordPress site stays as it is and becomes the backend that powers the app. Nothing is rebuilt or duplicated.
