A mobile app,
one contact for the whole build.

Mobile app development for iPhone and Android. We build each one separately, or write the code once in React Native or Flutter to run on both. PixelCrayons is your point of contact: we choose the right approach and write the proposal. Our sister company ValueCoders builds it. You sign one proposal for the whole app.

What we do

PixelCrayons is your point of contact for a mobile app; our sister company ValueCoders builds it under one proposal. That covers native apps for iOS or Android, and cross-platform apps in React Native or Flutter, which share one set of code. We work out which fits your product and stay your account owner throughout.

  2. AndroidNative Kotlin apps by ValueCoders, tested across the device range Android actually ships on.
  3. React NativeOne codebase for iOS and Android, by ValueCoders, where sharing code is the right trade-off.

Whichever platform fits

We build apps in iOS, Android,
React Native or Flutter.

01

iOS

Native apps in Swift and SwiftUI, Apple's own tools, built by ValueCoders. They look, feel and perform the way iPhone users expect, and follow App Store rules.

ValueCoders
02

Android

Native apps in Kotlin, Android's main language, built by ValueCoders. They are tested across the many Android phones your users carry, not just one demo handset.

ValueCoders
03

React Native

One set of code that runs on both iOS and Android, built by ValueCoders. We use it when sharing code is a better deal for you than two separate native apps.

ValueCoders
04

Flutter

One set of code, written in the Dart language, with the same look on every phone. ValueCoders builds it. It is the other way to share code, with its own pros and cons against React Native.

You deal with one contact and sign one proposal

Whichever approach fits, PixelCrayons scopes it, writes one proposal and stays your account owner throughout. We also do any website, store or marketing work alongside the app.

Every engagement
How it works

From your brief to a proposal
that names both teams' work.

01
Start

Brief and a call

We sign an NDA and you tell us about the app and its limits. PixelCrayons then works out whether a native or cross-platform build fits.

02
Once the brief is complete

Itemised proposal

We confirm the date your proposal arrives. It names the platform choice, who builds it and the price. It states plainly what each company does.

03
Your decision

You sign off

You confirm the scope, the payment and the access we need. Nothing starts before this.

04
Typically 2 to 3 business days later

The team starts

ValueCoders puts the engineers in place for the chosen platform. PixelCrayons' account team stays your one contact.

05
On the date in your proposal

First sprint demo

You see a demo at the end of each sprint, a short fixed block of work. Demos and written updates come through the same account team. ValueCoders is never hidden behind our name.

Inside Prism

Your engagement, week to week,
in one workspace.

Prism is the client workspace where your requests, approvals, tasks and weekly reviews live.

Some engagements include Prism, our client workspace, and your proposal says whether yours does. Where it does, your build runs in a workspace you log into: requests, approvals, the task list and the weekly review, beside the repository your team already owns.

  • 01

    Requests and approvals

    One queue, beside the repository your team owns.

  • 02

    Owned tasks

    Every task has one owner and a date.

  • 03

    Weekly review

    Each decision recorded, with the expectation attached.

How we report it, in Prism

The delivery record,
you can read without a stand-up.

What you receive in month one

Development is reported as artefacts in your own tools, not a status call. In the first month you receive the technical audit of the current codebase, the delivery plan broken into reviewed increments with acceptance criteria, and the environment map showing where code runs and who can deploy it. The weekly review in Prism lists what merged, what was reviewed, and what is blocked and by whom.

  • 01Technical audit: the current codebase, its risks, and the order of fixes
  • 02Delivery plan: increments with acceptance criteria and review owners
  • 03Environment map: development, staging and production, and who deploys
  • 04Weekly review in Prism: merged, in review, blocked, and the reason for each block
  • 05Definition of done: tests, review, accessibility and performance checks per increment

Platform choice

Native, React Native or Flutter:
how we choose the right build.

We choose the platform against your brief before we write the proposal. We don't just pick whichever build is easiest to sell. These are the signs that decide it, and who builds each type of app.

What your app needsThe build we scopeWhy

Questions

Frequently
asked.

ValueCoders, our sister company, does the engineering. Across our group, native iOS, native Android, React Native and Flutter builds are their work. PixelCrayons is your point of contact. We work out which approach fits, write the single proposal and stay your account owner throughout. ValueCoders is named plainly here and throughout delivery, never hidden behind our name.

It depends on two things. How closely must the app match each phone's own look and feel? And how much code do you want iOS and Android to share? PixelCrayons makes that call against your brief and budget before writing the proposal. We don't just pick whichever is easiest to sell.

No, though the two link to each other. This page covers any native or cross-platform app, for any purpose. Our eCommerce App Development page covers a shopping app built on an existing Shopify, WooCommerce or Magento store. That includes our own work on progressive web apps and app-builder storefronts. If your app is a store front end, start there.

One account team, for the whole relationship. The proposal names ValueCoders and its role, and so does every update. But problems, billing and progress reports all go through the PixelCrayons account team you signed with.

There's no flat rate card. The platform choice, the scope and the systems the app connects to set the cost, not a page count. Every proposal is priced against your brief. It lists exactly what you get and which company delivers each part. Once we have a complete brief, we confirm when your written, priced scope arrives.

Scope the app,
we'll name who does what.
