Want to have your app developed?

Building a custom app takes a development team with the right expertise. At Coffee IT, we specialise in web, native and hybrid apps. As part of The Digital Club, our mission is clear: realising digital dreams.

Having an app developed: what to expect?

Building a custom app is an intensive, technical process. You want an app that is easy to use, looks good, earns strong App Store reviews and delivers a fast return on investment. That takes time and resources. So what determines whether an IT project succeeds or fails? Find out more about the development timeline, costs and your role as the client.

Our app development process
step by step

Our agile process is efficient and validated, saving you time and money while delivering an app built to last. From day one, you have access to our project management system, Jira. This gives you a clear view of what the app team is working on and where the project stands.

Have an app idea? We start with an Accelerator Day, led by our strategy team, followed by an MVP. Together, we turn your idea into a clear roadmap with concrete goals. Want to talk through your app idea with us? Get in touch for a free, no-obligation conversation.

In-house team

To guarantee the best quality, we work with our own in-house developers. As a result, an expert always works on the app, regardless of which technique you choose.

Latest techniques

We build apps using the latest technologies and industry developments, from blockchain apps to streaming services. Our expertise covers React Native, SwiftUI, PWAs and native applications.

User = key

We make our apps easy to use by doing the research, working closely with clients and end users, and testing frequently.

In-lite: the smart lighting app

When investing in a custom app, you need confidence in both the development process and the business case. For in-lite, we built a native app using the latest technology. Routines and motion sensors let users control their garden lighting intelligently. The app’s success has helped in-lite become the market leader in high-end garden lighting.

What does it cost to develop an application?

The cost of a business app can vary significantly, which can make it difficult to set a realistic budget. Will it cost €5,000 or €100,000? Cost also plays an important role in the decision-making process, so one question comes up often: what does it cost to build a custom app?To give you a clear starting point, our app development process has three stages: the Accelerator Day, where we define the full strategy; the UX and UI design phase; and the development phase. The entire process usually takes around four months, depending on the app’s complexity. For a detailed breakdown, read our blog: App development costs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size apps do you build?

We mainly build apps with budgets ranging from tens of thousands to several hundred thousand euros. You can start with strategy and design as standalone phases, giving you a practical way to see how we work together before committing to development.

How long does it take to develop an app

On average, the first release takes 4–6 months. Enterprise projects may take longer and are often delivered in phases.

Are there any ongoing costs?

Yes. These include app store accounts (Apple: €99 per year; Google Play: a one-off €25 fee), hosting, monitoring and ongoing development. The app store fees are usually negligible compared with hosting and support costs.

Wat is goedkoper: native of cross-platform?

Cross-platform development costs less when your app does not require complex hardware integrations. Whether React Native, Flutter or native development is the right choice depends on your product and its requirements.

Do you also help develop ideas that don’t have a budget yet?

We can help you build a strong business case or turn your idea into detailed designs.
