Building Apps With Zero Hidden Costs
We believe you deserve to know exactly what goes into creating your mobile application. Not vague promises or marketing speak—just straightforward information about our development approach and what actually happens between kickoff and launch.
Our Development Process Laid Bare
Most development shops keep their methodology behind closed doors. We've found that doesn't really help anyone. So here's what actually happens when you work with us.
Every project starts with a proper discovery phase—not a sales pitch disguised as planning. We spend time understanding your business goals and user needs before writing a single line of code. This usually takes about two weeks and involves several working sessions with your team.
Then comes the design phase. We create wireframes first, get your feedback, then move to high-fidelity mockups. No surprises, no "this is what we decided to do" moments. You see everything before development begins.
What Makes Our Approach Different
We're not reinventing software development. But we've learned what works through building dozens of iOS and Android apps for Bangkok businesses.
Weekly Progress Updates
Every Friday you get a video walkthrough of what we built that week. Not a status report—actual working features you can test on your device.
Open Communication Channels
Direct access to your development team via Slack or LINE. Questions get answered within hours, not days. And yes, we actually respond.
Honest Timeline Estimates
We give you realistic deadlines based on actual development time. If something takes longer than expected, you'll know immediately and understand why.
Budget Breakdown Access
See exactly where your money goes. We track hours by feature and provide detailed reports so you understand the cost of each component.
Post-Launch Support Details
No mysterious maintenance fees. We outline exactly what support includes, response times for different issue types, and how updates are prioritized.
Source Code Ownership
You own everything we create. All source code, design files, and documentation transfer to you upon project completion. No strings attached.
Inside Our Development Standards
We follow industry best practices because they actually matter for app stability. That means comprehensive testing before anything reaches production, proper error handling so crashes are rare, and security protocols that protect user data.
Every app goes through both automated and manual testing. We test on actual devices—not just simulators—because that's how real people will use your application. iPhone 12, Samsung Galaxy, older Android versions that still have significant market share in Thailand.
Quality Checkpoints We Never Skip
Performance testing under load, security vulnerability scanning, accessibility compliance checks, and App Store guideline verification. These aren't optional extras—they're part of every project.

What I Wish Clients Knew About App Development
I've been building iOS apps since 2017, and the biggest problems I see aren't technical—they're communication gaps. Clients don't always know what questions to ask, and agencies don't always volunteer information that would help.
The Reality of Development Timelines
A decent iOS or Android app takes at least 12-16 weeks to build properly. Anyone promising faster is either cutting corners or planning to charge you for all the "unexpected" extra work later. Complex features like payment integration, real-time notifications, or offline functionality add significant time.
Why We Push Back on Some Ideas
When we suggest simplifying a feature, it's not because we're lazy. It's usually because we've seen similar implementations fail in production or create maintenance headaches. That complex animation might look impressive in a prototype but cause performance issues on older devices.
Questions You Should Always Ask
- What happens if you go out of business or we want to switch developers?
- How do you handle changes to project scope mid-development?
- Who owns the intellectual property for custom components you create?
- What documentation will we receive with the finished product?
If a development company gets defensive about these questions, that tells you something important. We believe clients who understand the process end up happier with the final product.
How We Handle Project Changes
Requirements evolve. Market conditions shift. User feedback reveals new priorities. Here's our approach to managing changes without derailing your project.
Document the Change Request
Write down exactly what you want modified and why. This helps us understand the business reasoning and sometimes reveals simpler solutions to the underlying problem.
Impact Assessment
We analyze how the change affects existing functionality, timeline, and budget. You get a written breakdown within two business days showing exactly what it would take to implement.
Priority Discussion
We schedule a call to review options. Sometimes changes can happen immediately with minimal impact. Other times we recommend staging them for a post-launch update to avoid delaying your go-live date.
Formal Approval
Before any work begins, you receive and approve an updated project scope document. This prevents misunderstandings about what was agreed and keeps everyone aligned.
Implementation and Testing
The change goes through our normal development process—code review, testing, and your approval before being merged into the main build. You see it working before it becomes permanent.
Real Example: Food Delivery App Pivot
A Bangkok restaurant group hired us in early 2025 to build a loyalty app. Three weeks into development, they decided they actually needed full food ordering and delivery tracking capabilities.
That's a significant change. We could have said yes and quietly inflated the budget. Instead, we showed them the honest math: the new features would add six weeks and increase costs by about 40%.
After discussing their actual needs, we found a middle path. We built the ordering system but integrated with their existing delivery service instead of creating a custom tracking solution. They launched on schedule with the functionality that actually mattered to their business.
