An independent developer who sees your app through to launch
Joshua Dearden App Development builds mobile apps, desktop software and business tools for clients in the UK and around the world.
I build apps for people who have an idea and need someone dependable to turn it into a working product.
My work covers the full cycle of a software project: planning, interface design, programming, connecting to external services, testing, preparing for App Store and Google Play publication, and the updates that keep an app useful after launch.
Every project starts with your goals, the people who'll use the app and the technical requirements. Because I work independently, you deal with one person from the first conversation to the final release. I give honest estimates and tell you early if part of the plan won't work as expected.
The aim is simple: turn your idea into a working digital product, get it ready for launch, and leave it on a foundation that's easy to build on.

How I work
Plain-English updates
You'll always know what's been done, what's next and why. Technical choices come with a short explanation, not jargon.
Scope agreed in writing
Before work starts we agree what's included. If something new comes up, you get a quote and decide whether to add it.
You own the result
Your app is published under your own developer accounts, and the source code is handed over once the project is paid in full.
Built to be maintained
Clean, documented code makes later updates quicker and cheaper, whether I do them or another developer does.
