About
We build robust mobile applications for iOS and Android using both hybrid and native technologies. We are a trusted outsource partner for many major local brands and agencies in Dorset. Our knowledge and skill allow us to build fast and fluid apps that offer the best user experience and functionality.
Whats The Process?
We aim to deliver well working, optimized fast and efficient apps capable of running on a variety or specified devices. From mobile to tablet / web or windows. We have gained a great amount of experience developing and launching a variety of apps.
Understanding the brief
Before we can provide times and costings, we dedicate time to fully understanding the brief. We request that we meet face to face to discuss the project in more detail so that we can discuss requirements, ask questions and offer suggestions.
Design and Planning
If designs are provided we will build our costings based on the designs and specification. If designs are not available we will provide wireframes that outline the flow and appearance of the finished application.
Development Process
We set up a local development environment and begin writing the code for the application. We meticulously build each component using tidy and manageable code to ensure that the end result works perfectly.
Testing and Publishing
We test the app thoroughly throughout development on a variety of different devices and software versions. We provide beta copies of the app for testing prior to launch. We then release the apps through the iOS and Android stores.
The Tools We Used
AngularJS
We specialize in the use of the AngularJS framework combined with the Ionic framework. When developing we like to stick to our strengths, AngularJS allows us to use our web dev skills in the development of apps.
PHP
When constructing apps, we often need to depend on a reliable API to handle the data. In these instances we create a Restful API ourselves using PHP and Laravel/Lumen to ensure that the API meets all the needs of the application.
Ionic
With the Ionic framework we can build fully custom apps to suit any requirement, this is due to the host of features if offers along with robust plugins that allow us to tap into the native components of the device.

Plans Together came to us after identifying a gap in the market for a powerful but easy-to-use event management software.
