In one answer

PixelCrayons builds progressive web apps and app-builder storefronts on Shopify, WooCommerce and Magento as our own commerce team's work. A custom NATIVE iOS or Android shopping app is built by our sibling company, ValueCoders, who own mobile and custom product engineering group-wide. Where a project needs both a platform-based app and a native one, one coordinated proposal covers both and one account team stays your single point of contact, so you never manage two vendors for one build. First deliverable within 14 days on the PixelCrayons-owned scope.

Who builds what

Store apps, built by the team
that owns each layer.

01

Progressive web apps: our own team's work

An installable, offline-capable storefront that runs in the browser but behaves like an app: push notifications, home-screen install, and fast repeat visits. Built and shipped by our own commerce engineering team on your existing Shopify, WooCommerce or Magento platform.

PixelCrayons
02

App-builder storefronts: also our own team's work

Shopify, WooCommerce and Magento each have an app-layer path (a mobile app assembled on top of the platform's own APIs and app-builder tooling) that gives a native-feel shopping app without a fully custom codebase. This stays inside our own commerce team's scope, same as the storefront it's built on.

03

Custom native iOS and Android apps: built by ValueCoders, our sibling company

A fully custom native app (bespoke iOS/Android engineering, not built on the commerce platform's app layer) is mobile and product engineering, and that is our sibling company ValueCoders' practice, not ours. We say so plainly here rather than after a proposal lands: if that's the build, ValueCoders' engineers deliver it.

04

One coordinated proposal when a project needs both

Plenty of commerce projects want a PWA now and a native app later, or both from the start. Where that's the case, PixelCrayons and ValueCoders coordinate one proposal naming each team's scope, acceptance conditions and pricing, so you're not stitching two vendor relationships together yourself.

Coordinated
05

One account team, whichever app you need

You keep a single point of contact for the relationship even when ValueCoders' engineers are doing the native build. The account team stays accountable for the whole engagement; ValueCoders is never hidden behind our name, and its name is never dropped from the conversation once work starts.

Every engagement
First 14 days

NDA to working software,
on whichever scope is yours.

01
Days 1 to 2

NDA signed, app type confirmed

We sign your NDA and confirm which shape fits: a PWA, an app-builder storefront, a fully custom native app, or a mix. That decision sets which team leads and whether ValueCoders is named on the proposal.

02
Within 48 hrs

One proposal, scopes named

A written proposal covering exactly what ships, by which team, in what order and for how much. A mixed scope names both PixelCrayons' and ValueCoders' responsibilities in the same document, never blurred into one undifferentiated line item.

03
Week 1

The right team is assembled

Commerce engineers for the PWA or app-builder work, ValueCoders' mobile engineers for any native scope, both reporting into the same account team so you get one status, not two.

04
Day 14

First deliverable ships

Working software demoed on a call, on the PixelCrayons-owned scope. Where ValueCoders is delivering the native app in parallel, its own delivery cadence is set in the coordinated proposal and reported through the same account team.

D2C fragrance retailer: the storefront app layer, built on the platform.

The published record is a web storefront replatform, not an app build, so this card won't stretch it to claim one. What it evidences is the commerce engineering discipline that carries over directly to a PWA or app-builder storefront: the same platform, the same catalogue and order data, extended rather than duplicated. Revenue grew 340% in seven months on that foundation.

Where this fits

The app is one layer
on top of the store.

Building the web storefront the app sits on top of? eCommerce Development is where that starts. Selling to trade accounts as well as consumers? B2B eCommerce covers the account and pricing layer. Not sure yet whether an app is the right investment? eCommerce Consulting scopes that decision first. Looking for ecommerce app development services for agencies?

Questions

Frequently
asked.

Not the fully custom native build, no, and we'd rather say so here than after a proposal lands. Custom native iOS and Android engineering is our sibling company ValueCoders' practice: they own mobile and custom product engineering group-wide. Our own ecommerce mobile app development services cover the progressive web app and app-builder storefront layer. Where a project needs both, one coordinated proposal names each team's scope, and one account team stays your single point of contact throughout.

A progressive web app runs in the browser but installs to the home screen and works offline: it's built on your existing web storefront and is part of our own ecommerce web app development services. An app-builder storefront uses Shopify, WooCommerce or Magento's own app-layer tooling to assemble a native-feel shopping app on top of the platform's APIs, also our own team's work. A fully custom native app is bespoke iOS/Android engineering with no platform app-layer underneath it, and that's ValueCoders' scope, not ours.

One account team, for the whole relationship. ValueCoders' name and role are stated plainly in the proposal and throughout delivery, never hidden behind ours, but you're not left managing two separate vendor relationships: escalation, billing coordination and status reporting run through one point of contact agreed before work starts.

Yes, that's a common sequence: ship the PWA or app-builder storefront first to prove demand, then commission a fully custom native app once the case for it is clear. When that happens, the native scope goes to ValueCoders under a new or extended proposal, coordinated with the same account team that ran the first phase.

It depends heavily on which shape you need: a PWA or app-builder storefront is scoped and priced like any other commerce build, with an itemised proposal within 48 hours. A custom native app is priced by ValueCoders under the coordinated-proposal arrangement described above, so you see one clear number for whichever combination you choose, not two disconnected quotes.

Get one proposal,
whichever app you need.

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 in 48 hours naming exactly who builds what, with one account team as your point of contact either way.
