A Mobile App for Your Business: Android and iPhone App Design and Development

A mobile app puts your business on your customer's home screen: an icon with your name, notifications that reach them directly, and an experience faster than a website. We design and build your app for Android and iPhone with your site's identity, publish it on Google Play and the App Store, and connect it to your site and control panel.

What is a mobile app, and does your business need one?

A mobile app is a program installed on a smartphone from an app store, shown as an icon on the phone screen. With one tap your customer opens your services and products without typing a link or searching for you, and receives your notifications and offers directly.

There are two main mobile operating systems: Android, whose apps are published on Google Play, and iOS for iPhone and iPad, whose apps are published on the App Store. An app can be built for one system or both, depending on your audience.

Not every business needs an app from day one. An app makes a difference when customers come back often: ordering, booking, tracking an order or waiting for your offers. If customers visit only once, a mobile-friendly website may be enough.

In short: Hyyat Host designs and builds mobile apps for Android and iPhone with your site identity, publishes them on Google Play and the App Store, and connects them to your site and control panel. Price and timeline are set after we understand your app idea.

Customer loyaltyA customer who installed your app returns more often than a passing site visitor.

What determines the cost of a mobile app?

There is no single price for all apps. These six factors are what we review with you before the quote, so you know where your budget goes in mobile app design and development.

Number of screensEach screen needs design, development and testing, so a five-screen app is simpler than a twenty-screen one.
FeaturesOnline payment, maps, tracking and chat all add development and testing time.
PlatformsAn Android-only or iPhone-only app costs less than one for both systems.
Control panelIf you have a site we connect the app to its panel; otherwise we build a new panel for content and orders.
DesignA design based on your current site identity is faster than a brand-new identity from scratch.
IntegrationsConnecting to accounting, inventory or shipping systems needs extra work depending on each system.

What do you need to publish your app?

  • A developer account in your name: On Google Play and Apple Developer, so the app is yours, with fees paid directly to each store.
  • A privacy policy: A page on your site explaining the data the app collects; both stores require it.
  • Icon and store images: The app icon and screenshots shown to people browsing the store.
  • Description and keywords: A clear name and description that help your app show up in store search.
  • A server for the app: The app connects to your site or a server for its data, which we set up on our hosting.

We handle the technical details

From preparing publishing files to following store review, we stay with you until your app is available to download. As a hosting company since 2002, we set up the server your app connects to on servers we know, from hosting to VPS servers for larger apps.
