Market Shark IT builds mobile apps for companies that have a job the phone has to do: book, pay, track, approve, or message. We design the first release around that job, then build the iOS and Android experience your customers or staff will actually open twice.
An app is the wrong project when a good mobile website would do the same work. We will say so. When the phone needs an icon, a login, notifications, or offline use, an app is the right project and we scope it that way.
What the first release includes
- The primary user path, designed on a phone before it is built
- Accounts and roles, if more than one kind of person uses it
- The admin side your team needs to operate it
- Store listing content and the build you submit
- A web companion when customers also expect a desktop login
How we work
You see the screens before the engineering gets expensive. We agree the first release in writing. Notifications, payments, and integrations are named in that scope, because those are the pieces that slip when they are left as “and the usual app features.”
If the same product needs a marketing site, that is web development. If it is really a logged-in system, start from custom web applications and add the app when the workflow is proven.
Questions
iOS, Android, or both?
Both, unless your users are clearly on one platform. We would rather ship one solid release on the platform your customers use than two thin ones.
Can you add an app to a system we already run?
Yes, if that system has an API or we can add one. We will not scrape your own admin panel and call it an integration.
How do city and industry change the app?
They change the job, not the slogan. A logistics app in Jakarta and a client app for a London firm are different products. The locations pages describe the markets. The build still starts from the task.
