Custom Web & Mobile Apps — Sites by Sara

Custom Web & Mobile Apps

(Custom Applications, Built Around Your Business)

Custom Software Development

When a website isn't enough, we build the software itself.

Some businesses need more than a website — a browser-based web app, or a mobile app for phones and tablets, built around a specific process, workflow, or tool your business actually needs. We design and develop both as custom, individually-scoped projects.

Custom web app or mobile app design & development. Starting from $3,000 one-time, scoped and quoted for your project.

8

Handoff & Support

Browser-Based Tools

A web app your team can use from any browser.

No install required — a web app runs directly in the browser, on desktop or mobile, built around the specific process or tool your business needs, rather than a general-purpose website template.

On Their Phone

A mobile app that lives on your customers' phones.

A mobile app is installed directly on a phone or tablet, built to your specification for the way your customers or team actually work — not a template.

Not Sure Which You Need?

Not sure if you need an app, or just a website?

If you mainly need to share information, showcase your business, or capture leads, a website is usually simpler and more affordable. A custom app makes sense when you need interactive tools, user accounts, or functionality a standard website can't provide.
