App Concept Design Service

Bring your app idea to life and explore the possibilities.

What's holding your concept back?

Here are some of the problems we can help you tackle.

You struggle to select which app ideas to run with

You have a lot of good ideas, but it's expensive to develop them all. What features will customers care about the most? What will have the most impact on revenue and customer satisfaction?

You're not confident your prototype will engage people

You've created a rough prototype, but you don't know exactly how to arrange this into a simple, engaging concept. How can you ensure people will enjoy using, and get value from, your app?

You're still learning about digital technologies

You use apps and roughly know what technologies you can use, but you want to be sure you're not missing something. What mobile technologies are right for your app? How can you make the most of cloud, data and AI?

You have to work within a budget

App development can be costly, even for medium-sized organisations. You want a great user experience and business results, without risking going over budget. How can you make sure you design something that can be built within budget?

You're worried about the technical build

You know that your app could be a core pillar of your offering and a key revenue generator. You need to outsource development, potentially for several years. But you may want to build internal digital capability. How can you avoid time-consuming vendor management?

Our App Concept Design service is designed to save you time and money before entering into full-blown app development.

How we’ll get you there

If you have an idea for an app, or are thinking about re-developing an existing app, we can investigate what is possible and bring your idea to life.

Identify your best ideas

Using market and customer research, we help you assess which ideas are the strongest, without bias. This is crucial for designing an app experience that your customers will love.

See them come to life, complete with customer validation

With an understanding of which ideas will resonate with your customers, we'll turn them into prototypes and test them with users. After a few iterations, we'll have helped you hone in on a strong concept that customers find simple, clear, and highly useful.

Learn which technologies will improve your solution

As a mobile, cloud and AI technology specialist, we bring you hands-on experience using the full spectrum of technologies available; App Clips, Live Notifications, Martech, Bluetooth, NFC, LLMs and Data Dashboards — you name it.

Create an affordable roadmap

We'll help you understand your business case and budget options from day one, and design with this in mind. A key output of this process is a roadmap with costs that we work hard to make fit your budget.

Develop your app with us, or use another supplier

Unlike many design and research agencies, we also have in-house development and app marketing expertise. We're not a build-and-run studio like many startup studios. This means we're here to see you along the entire journey and help you take things in-house if and when the time is right.

“Many of our customers have a gut feeling that an app could be a great idea, but struggle to pin down if customers will download and use the app. This package helps them validate the opportunity before spending big bucks.”
