Software & Websites, Built To Matter.
Step inside the AppZano lab, where we design, build, test and launch custom mobile apps, desktop software, WordPress plugins and websites for businesses that want them done properly.
01The Software Wing
Custom Software
Apps And Tools, Built Around You
Along the left wall of the lab is where apps are made. We design and develop custom mobile apps for iPhone, iPad and Android, desktop software for Windows, macOS and Linux, and WordPress plugins that add exactly the feature your site is missing.
Whether it's a customer-facing product, an internal tool that replaces a tangle of spreadsheets or an integration between systems that don't talk to each other, we build it to feel native, work offline where it matters and stay secure.
02The Website Wing
Websites
Built To Rank, Convert & Impress
Across the lab, the website wing. We design and build business listing and directory websites, eCommerce stores, interactive 3D websites and sites with advanced functionality — bookings, portals, dashboards and integrations.
Every site is fast, accessible and built with technical SEO from the first line of code, so it gets found, turns visitors into customers and is easy for your team to run.
03Step 1 · Discover
Discover & Scope
Understand The Problem First
Every project starts at the discovery board. We learn how your business works, who the software or website is for and what it must achieve, then agree a scope, a prioritised feature list and an estimate you can plan around.
- Workshops
- User research
- Scope & estimate
- Roadmap
At this station
- You get
- A written scope, user flows and a prioritised feature list
- Estimate
- Broken down by feature, so you choose what goes in first
04Step 2 · Design
Design & Prototype
See It Before It's Built
At the design table, ideas become wireframes, then a polished interface and a clickable prototype you can try on your own devices. Accessibility and responsive layouts are designed in, not patched on later.
- Wireframes
- UI design
- Prototypes
- Design systems
At this station
- You get
- Clickable prototypes of the key journeys, on phone and desktop
- Handover
- Components and design tokens shared directly with the code
05Step 3 · Build
Engineer & Build
Clean, Typed, Reviewed Code
Then the build desks take over. We develop in short cycles with working software to see every week or two, using a typed, well-documented stack that keeps your product fast, secure and easy to change.
- TypeScript
- React
- Next.js
- React Native
- Tauri & Rust
- PHP
At this station
- Rhythm
- Short cycles, each ending in working software you can try
- Code
- Version-controlled and reviewed, with the architecture documented
06Step 4 · Test
Test Everything
Automated, Manual & On Real Devices
Automated tests run on every change, and we test by hand on real phones, tablets, computers and browsers. Performance, accessibility and security checks run alongside, so problems are caught long before your customers see them.
- Automated tests
- Device testing
- Accessibility
- Security review
At this station
- Coverage
- Unit, integration and end-to-end tests in CI
- Audits
- Core Web Vitals, WCAG 2.2 AA and OWASP checks before launch
07Step 5 · Launch
Launch With Confidence
Releases That Are Calm, Not Chaotic
Our release pipeline tests, builds, signs and ships every version the same way. We handle App Store and Google Play submissions, hosting, DNS and search setup, so launch day is a milestone — not a fire drill.
- CI/CD
- Store submissions
- Hosting
- Search Console
At this station
- Pipeline
- Test, build, sign and ship — automated for every release
- Go-live
- Staged rollouts, redirects and monitoring from the first minute
08Step 6 · Support
Support & Grow
Monitored, Maintained, Improved
After launch, the monitoring wall keeps watch. We keep your software and website updated and secure, respond quickly if anything goes wrong, and help plan the next features as your business grows.
- Maintenance
- Monitoring
- Security updates
- New features
At this station
- Watch
- Uptime, errors, crashes and performance, around the clock
- Grow
- Regular check-ins to plan improvements and new features

10Your Project
Start In The Lab
Bring The Idea. We'll Bring The Rest.
Every project in the lab starts the same way: a conversation about what you're trying to achieve. Tell us about the app, tool or website you have in mind and we'll come back with honest advice on the best way to build it.
