Ship a Real App Without Six Months of Native Code
I’ve watched teams burn $40,000+ building separate iOS and Android apps when one React Native build would’ve shipped in half the time. The real risk isn’t the framework. It’s the API layer, auth flow, and deploy pipeline nobody planned. I build cross-platform apps on one codebase that connect to your existing WordPress or web backend.
Why most app projects fail
Duplicate codebases
Maintaining separate Swift and Kotlin apps doubles your bug surface and slows every single release.
Backend not built for mobile
Your app hits endpoints designed for a browser, not a phone, so screens load slow and requests time out.
Store review delays
Every small fix waits 3-7 days in App Store review because nobody set up over-the-air updates.
Broken auth flow
Login, token refresh, and session handling get bolted on late, then break the moment real users sign in.
Native overspend
Paying two native teams to build the same screens twice is the fastest way to blow a mobile budget.
No crash visibility
No monitoring or crash reporting, so the first you hear of a bug is a one-star review.
What you get
One React Native build, wired to a backend that’s actually ready for mobile, with the pipeline that keeps shipping after launch.
- React Native app with a shared iOS and Android codebase
- UI screens matching your existing brand design system
- Push notifications, deep linking, and offline storage
- Auth flow with token refresh and session handling
- API integration layer with error handling and retry logic
- CI/CD pipeline for automated builds and over-the-air updates
- App Store and Play Store listing setup and submission
- Monitoring and crash reporting so you catch bugs before reviews do
What changes after
How I build your app
Scope & backend check
I map your screens, then audit your API and auth, because that’s where most mobile projects quietly break.
Build the core
I build the React Native app, wire push, offline, and deep linking, and connect a mobile-ready data layer.
Pipeline & testing
I set up CI/CD with OTA updates and add crash reporting so fixes ship in minutes, not days.
Submit & support
I prepare both store listings, handle submission, and stay on for the first releases and review cycles.
Mobile apps that ship and actually get used
A mobile app is a big investment that’s easy to get wrong. I help you build apps focused on the features users need, on the right approach for your budget, so you ship something people use, not a bloated project that stalls.
Right approach for budget
Native, cross-platform, or web-app, chosen to fit your budget, timeline, and needs, so you don’t overspend on the wrong build.
MVP-first thinking
Ship a focused first version that proves the idea, then build on what users actually want, instead of guessing everything upfront.
Connected to your systems
Apps integrated with your WordPress or backend and APIs, so content and data flow instead of living in a silo.
Mobile app development questions, answered
What kind of mobile apps do you build?
Cross-platform apps for iOS and Android, progressive web apps, and apps connected to a WordPress or custom backend. I focus on the approach that fits your budget and goals rather than defaulting to expensive native builds for every idea.
Native, cross-platform, or web app, which is right?
It depends on your needs and budget. Native gives the best performance for demanding apps; cross-platform covers both platforms from one codebase at lower cost; a progressive web app is cheapest and works everywhere without app stores. I’ll recommend based on what you actually need.
Should I build the whole app at once?
Usually no. An MVP-first approach ships a focused first version to prove the idea and learn from real users, then builds on what they actually want. Trying to build everything upfront is how app projects blow budgets and stall.
Can the app connect to my website or WordPress?
Yes. I integrate apps with your WordPress or custom backend via APIs, so content, users, and data stay in sync. That lets your app share the systems you already run instead of duplicating them.
How much does a mobile app cost?
It varies widely with scope and approach, a simple web or cross-platform app is far cheaper than a complex native one. I scope an MVP first so you invest in proving the idea before committing to a large build, and quote clearly.
How long does app development take?
A focused MVP can take a few weeks to a couple of months; complex apps take longer. Starting with an MVP gets something real into users’ hands faster, which is both cheaper and smarter than a long build toward untested assumptions.
Ship one app to both stores
Skip the duplicate native budget. Get a React Native app on a mobile-ready backend, with updates that don’t wait on review.
