Frequently asked questions

Common questions about our services, process and approach.

How do I choose an app development company in the UK?

Check four things: reviews from clients whose apps are like yours, who owns the code, how the scope and cost are agreed, and what support you get after launch. Ask to speak to past clients. Intelivita is rated 4.8/5 on Clutch from 52 verified reviews, and you own the code we write for you.

What makes Intelivita different from other agencies?

Clients say Intelivita works like part of their own team rather than an outside supplier. In verified Clutch reviews, they most often mention clear communication, project management and good value for cost. One team designs, builds, launches and supports your app, and some clients have worked with us since 2022. Intelivita is rated 4.8/5 on Clutch from 52 reviews.

How do you estimate the cost of a mobile app development project?

We estimate the cost from your agreed scope, and you get a fixed price before work starts. First, we hold one or more no-obligation calls or workshops to understand your users, features and integrations. We then send a proposal with the scope, fixed price, timeline and terms. Because we build in one-week sprints, you can change the scope during development, and we agree any new cost or timeline with you before we build the change.

How long does it take to build a mobile app in the UK?

Most mobile apps take between 8 weeks and 9 months to design, develop and launch. A simple app usually takes 8 to 12 weeks, a moderately complex app 3 to 6 months, and an advanced or enterprise app 6 to 9 months or more. Your timeline depends on the scope, features, platforms and integrations, and your proposal confirms it before work starts.

Do I have to pay the full cost upfront?

No. You pay a small upfront payment to allocate your project team, then the rest in instalments at agreed milestones. You review the work before each milestone payment, and you can pause or stop after any milestone, under the agreed terms.

Should I build for iOS, Android or both?

Start where your users are. Choose iOS for a mainly iPhone audience, Android for a larger global audience, or a cross-platform app built with Flutter or React Native to launch on both from one codebase. We recommend native development when your app needs platform-specific features or maximum performance.

Can you turn my website into an app?

Yes. You can turn your website into a progressive web app that installs on phones and works offline, with no app store download. Or you can have an iOS and Android app that connects to your website’s back end and is published on the App Store and Google Play.

Can you develop our application if we already have the designs?

Yes. We review your designs, suggest usability or technical improvements where needed, and build from them. We can join your project at any stage: after design, during development or after launch.

What is your mobile application development approach, and how can we track progress?

We work in one-week agile sprints. Each week you can see the sprint plan, track tasks and review a working version of your app. We manage progress, feedback and open items in tools such as Jira, Basecamp or GitScrum.

Do you use AI tools during development, and what benefits do they provide?

Yes. Our developers use AI tools such as Codex and Claude Code for boilerplate code, testing, analysis and repetitive tasks. An experienced developer reviews and tests every AI-assisted change. This speeds up development and lowers cost, without replacing human judgement.

Can you take over or continue developing an existing project?

Yes. We review your source code, documentation, database, APIs and third-party services, then set the project up on our side and check its quality. You then receive a clear estimate and timeline for the fixes and features still to do.

My app is poor quality. Should I fix it or rebuild it?

It depends on your code, and a review tells you which before you pay for any work. We check your code, database, APIs and third-party services.

Fixing suits a well-built app with some faulty features. Rebuilding suits an app on outdated technology. You get our recommendation, estimate and timeline first.

Do you provide post-launch support and ongoing maintenance?

Yes. Our support plans cost £400-£2,000 per month and cover monitoring, maintenance, bug fixes, security updates, compatibility updates for new iOS and Android versions, and new features. The plan you need depends on your app’s size, its number of users and how often you want new features.

Can you hand over the project if we decide to manage it ourselves?

Yes. We hand over the source code, designs, documentation, credentials and deployment details to your team or another company. We also run knowledge-transfer sessions on how the app, back end and infrastructure work.

Can I hire dedicated developers or add them to my team?

Yes. You can hire one dedicated developer or a full team, either to join your existing team or to build your project. You choose the skills you need, such as iOS, Android, Flutter, React Native or back-end development, and how long you need them for.

Do you sign an NDA before we discuss our project?

Yes. Once your consultation is arranged, we can send our NDA before the meeting. It covers the ideas, documents and business information you share, and it continues after the project ends, under its terms.

Do you work with clients in London?

Yes. We build apps for businesses in London, such as Unify London Taxis. Most project meetings run on video calls, and we can meet you in London when your project needs it. Our headquarters is in Manchester, about two hours from London by train.

Where are you based, and can we meet in person?

Intelivita is headquartered in Manchester, and our project teams work across the UK and India. We work with clients across the UK, including London, mostly by video call, and you can meet us in person at our Manchester office.
