WB / APP DEVELOPMENT
App development for Preston and UK businesses
Turn a useful app idea into a product people can operate
WebBoss plans and builds mobile and web apps for businesses that need customers, staff or partners to complete a real task without friction.
Discuss this project01 / THE WORK
Start with the job, then choose the screens
A build begins with users, decisions, data and exceptions. That keeps the first release focused and avoids paying for a large feature list that nobody has tested with real users.
A strong fit when
- 01Customers need a self service route for booking, buying or managing work
- 02A manual service is ready to become a repeatable digital product
- 03An existing app is slow, unreliable or difficult to change
- 04A product idea needs a credible scope before investment
02 / WHAT IS INCLUDED
A build you can understand, operate and continue.
- 01Discovery workshops and a written product scope
- 02User journeys, wireframes and interactive prototype
- 03Responsive web app, installable app or mobile build
- 04Accounts, roles, payments and notifications where required
- 05Testing, release support and maintainable source code
03 / HOW THE BUILD WORKS
How an app build works
Production work is split into agreed stages with a written scope, payment points and acceptance criteria.
- 01
Understand the work
Map who uses the app, the task each person needs to complete, the data behind it and the exceptions it must handle.
- 02
Agree the first scope
Write down what the first release includes, what waits for later, the price and the review points. Discovery is normally paid in advance.
- 03
Build and demonstrate
Review working screens at agreed stages, so misunderstandings surface while they are still cheap to fix.
- 04
Release and support
Plan testing, launch, monitoring, documentation and the route for later changes.
04 / WHAT IT IS BUILT WITH
What the app is built with
- Front end
- Next.js and React, styled with Tailwind CSS
- Back end and admin
- Laravel on PHP
- Database
- MySQL or MariaDB
- Hosting
- cPanel Linux hosting
Pets Connected follows this pattern, with a Laravel back end and a Next.js front end. Whether a project also needs a separate iPhone or Android build is decided in discovery.
05 / WHAT AFFECTS THE COST
What affects the cost of an app
App development starts at £1,500, with typical delivery in 3 to 20 weeks.
That covers a defined first scope. These are the things that move a written quote above the starting figure.
- Whether the first release is a web app, an installable web app or a mobile build
- Number of user roles and the permission rules between them
- Payments, notifications or offline use
- Third party API access and its limitations
- Quality and volume of any data that must be migrated

Before the first workshop
Can you build for iPhone and Android?
Yes. The right route may be a cross platform mobile app, an installable web app or separate native builds. Discovery determines which option fits the users and budget.
Can we start with a prototype?
Yes. A prototype is useful when the workflow needs testing before production development. It can also support internal approval or an investment conversation.
Who owns the finished app?
The agreed source code and project assets are handed over when the account is settled. Third party licences and services remain subject to their own terms.
