Your idea, built as a real application
Zeth Ltd designs and builds bespoke apps for businesses, charities and communities. You do not need to know anything about software; you need to know what problem you want to solve and who it is for.
Already have a web application or an in-house team? We can build the app that works alongside it, or deliver a self-contained piece of work your developers don’t have time for, and hand it over cleanly.
What you can expect
One accountable person
You deal directly with the engineer building your app, so what you ask for is not lost in translation between salespeople, managers and developers.
Plain English throughout
We explain choices and trade-offs in terms of your users, your budget and your timescale, not jargon.
Built to last
Software needs looking after once it is released. We plan for updates and maintenance from the start, so your app keeps working.
Honest scope
We will tell you what a sensible first version looks like, and what is better left for later, or not built at all.
How a project works
-
Talk through the idea
We discuss what you want to achieve, who will use the app and what success looks like. There is no obligation at this stage.
-
Agree a practical scope
Together we decide what the first version needs to do, which devices it should run on, and a realistic budget and timeline.
-
Prototype the important choices
Where it helps, we build a quick prototype of the key screens or trickiest feature so you can see and try it before full development starts.
-
Build the application
The app is built in stages, with regular check-ins so you can see progress and give feedback along the way.
-
Test it properly
We test across the phones, tablets or computers your users actually have, and fix what we find before anyone else does.
-
Release and look after it
We prepare the app for distribution, for example through the app stores, and agree how updates and ongoing maintenance will work.
Tell us about your idea
A few sentences is plenty to start with: what you want the app to do, who it is for, and any timescale you have in mind.
