PixelCrayons builds progressive web apps and app-builder stores on Shopify, WooCommerce and Magento with our own commerce team. A progressive web app is a store in the browser that works like an app. We also build custom native iOS and Android apps. If you need both, you get one proposal and one account team.
Real projects for real clients, with results we can show.
Product names and marks are trademarks of their owners. Naming a technology means our teams build with it. It does not mean a partnership, certification or endorsement.
Your store runs in the browser but works like an app. Customers can add it to their home screen, get push notifications and enjoy fast repeat visits. Our own commerce team builds it on your current Shopify, WooCommerce or Magento store.
Shopify, WooCommerce and Magento each offer tools for making a mobile app on top of your store. You get a shopping app that feels native without paying for fully custom code. Our own commerce team builds it, just like the store underneath.
A fully custom native app is written from scratch for iOS or Android, without the platform's app tools. Our mobile engineers build it. It is a separate part of the proposal, with its own scope and price, so you can see what it adds.
Many commerce projects want a web app now and a native app later, or both from the start. Then you get one proposal for both. It lists each part's work, sign-off terms and price, so you don't have to manage two suppliers yourself.
You sign with PixelCrayons and keep one contact for everything, whichever app you need. Our account team answers for the whole project. Every commitment in the proposal is ours to keep, for as long as the work runs.
We sign an NDA and agree which app fits. It could be a web app, an app-builder store, a custom native app or a mix.
We confirm the date your proposal arrives. It lists what you get, which team builds it, in what order and for how much. Any native app is listed on its own.
You confirm the scope, the payment and the access we need. Nothing starts before this.
Our commerce developers start the web app or app-builder work. Our mobile engineers start any native app. Both report to one account team.
Working software from our part of the project, shown to you on a call. Any native app work follows the timetable in the same proposal.
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.
One queue, beside the repository your team owns.
Every task has one owner and a date.
Each decision recorded, with the expectation attached.
This published case moved a web store to a new platform. It was not an app build, and we don't claim it was. It does show the commerce work a web app or app-builder store relies on. The same platform and the same product and order data are extended, not copied. Revenue grew 340% in seven months on that base.
Building the web store the app sits on? eCommerce Development is where that starts. Selling to trade accounts as well as consumers? B2B eCommerce covers account prices and ordering. Not sure an app is worth it yet? eCommerce Consulting scopes that decision first. Looking for eCommerce app development services for agencies? White-label for agencies explains how partner work runs.

Full termsEvery delivery is reviewed before release by QA, your Project or Account Manager and a senior delivery lead, and you then review it against the acceptance criteria agreed at the start. Our specialists use AI to support delivery, with people responsible for reviewing the work. Applicable development work includes 30 days of corrective maintenance after production launch.
Your materials, data and accounts remain yours, and we prefer to work in advertising and analytics accounts you own, with access delegated to our team. Agreed ownership rights in bespoke deliverables transfer under the engagement terms and applicable payment; third-party software and assets keep their licences. We do not withhold customer-owned data or accounts over a payment dispute.
Cancellation, notice and any renewal terms are written into your proposal or statement of work before you accept it. If an engagement ends early, we hand over completed, paid-for work and list any unfinished work separately. For an eligible specialist trial, you can stop within the trial window and pay nothing for eligible trial hours.
Before work starts we agree how often you get updates, what the reports cover and who sends them. You know who coordinates your engagement, who owns the work and how to escalate an issue. For hourly and retainer work, time is recorded in Workstatus, so you can see the time records behind your invoice.
How we handle claims, credentials and your data: group credentials, dated ratings, how case figures are signed off, client permissions and data handling.
We confirm the type of app in the first two days. It decides which of our teams leads and what the proposal covers. This is how we match the app to your situation.
| Your situation | The app | Who builds it |
|---|---|---|
| You want home-screen install, offline use, push notifications and fast repeat visits on your current store | A progressive web app | Our commerce team, on your current Shopify, WooCommerce or Magento store. |
| You want a shopping app that feels native, without fully custom code | An app-builder store made with the platform's own app tools | Our commerce team, as part of the same work as the store underneath. |
| You need an app written from scratch for iOS or Android | A custom native app | Our mobile engineers, listed as its own part of the proposal. |
| You don't know yet if customers want an app | The web app or app-builder store first, then a native app once the case is clear | Our commerce team first. The native app then goes to our mobile engineers under a new or extended proposal. |
| You need a platform app and a native app from the start | Both, under one proposal | The same document lists each part's work, sign-off terms and price. |
| You are not sure an app is the right investment | None until that decision is scoped | eCommerce consulting scopes that decision first. |
One account team stays your point of contact whichever app you choose.
Yes. Our commerce team builds progressive web apps and app-builder stores. Fully custom native apps are built by our Vinove group engineering team, who build mobile apps and custom software across the group. You contract with PixelCrayons either way, and we answer for every commitment. One proposal covers each part, and one account team stays your contact.
A progressive web app (PWA) runs in the browser, installs to the home screen and works offline. Our team builds it on your current store. An app-builder storefront uses the app tools of Shopify, WooCommerce or Magento. It makes a shopping app that feels native, and we build that too. A fully custom native app is written from scratch for iOS or Android, and our mobile engineers build it.
You deal with one account team for the whole project. You sign with PixelCrayons, and we answer for the web app and the native app alike. You don't manage two suppliers. Problems, billing and progress reports all go through one contact, agreed before work starts.
Yes, and many stores do it this way. Launch the web app or app-builder store first to see if customers use it. Then order a custom native app once the case is clear. That app goes to our mobile engineers under a new or extended proposal, run by the same account team.
It depends mostly on which kind of app you need. A web app or app-builder store is priced like any other commerce build, in an itemised proposal. A custom native app is priced inside the same proposal. So you see one clear price for whatever mix you choose, not two separate quotes.
Tell us what you're building: a PWA, an app-builder storefront, a custom native app, or a mix. You'll have an itemised proposal naming exactly who builds what, with one account team as your point of contact either way.
