What we build
If code can solve it, we can build it.
Every app we have built started the same way: a client describing something that was slow, manual, expensive, or held together with spreadsheets. Compliance apps, ERPs, field-service platforms, CRMs, service desks: we design the solution around the problem, not the other way round.
Internal business tools
Job tracking, quoting, stock, compliance, field operations. The unglamorous systems that quietly run a business, built to match exactly how yours works.
Mobile apps
Apps your staff carry in their pocket. We built SoAppy for a cleaning company: every operative gets their jobs, clocks in and out, and signs off work from their phone.
Automations & integrations
We connect the systems you already use so data stops being re-keyed by hand. Xero, your website, industry APIs like the DVLA: won quote in, invoice out, nobody typing.
AI built in
Ask plain-English questions about your own business data (job performance, margins, customer trends) and get instant answers, without a data analyst on the payroll.
Dashboards & reporting
Live reporting that replaces the monthly spreadsheet-compiling ritual. Sales, margins, engineer performance, and customer spend, accurate and always up to date.
Not sure which of these you need? That’s normal, and it’s our job to work out, not yours. Bring us the problem and we’ll bring the design.
Sound familiar?
The problems that bring businesses to our door.
Nobody wakes up wanting “an app”. They wake up tired of one of these.
Off-the-shelf software that almost fits
You pay every month for a tool built for everyone, then run the gaps on spreadsheets, workarounds, and habit. Your process bends around the software instead of the other way round.
Per-user licences that never end
SaaS pricing scales with your headcount, forever, and at the end of it you own nothing. One of our clients was paying £3,000 a month for a platform that still could not do the job.
Operations held together by WhatsApp
Paper job sheets, group-chat dispatch, manual timesheets, re-keying between systems. It works, until the day it very visibly does not, and nobody can see what is actually happening.
Five-figure quotes that spiral
The traditional agency model: a big scary upfront quote, then scope creep, then “can you just add this”, then either the budget dies or the project does. We price differently on purpose.
How pricing works
No huge upfront cost. One manageable monthly fee.
Traditional software projects come with a big scary upfront quote in the thousands. Then reality arrives: the scope creeps, every “can you just add this” becomes a negotiation, and either the costs spiral or the project gets killed. Everyone loses.
We price differently. After free scoping you get a fixed monthly cost over a 12-month term. It keeps payments manageable, and it means constant updates, improvements, and changes are simply part of how we work together, not a fight about invoices.
We are transparent and honest, and we care about your interests: we aim for the most cost-effective solution, and we will always build a business case to justify the cost if you want one.

Step 1
Free scoping
Tell us the problem or the idea. We dig into how your business actually works, design the solution, and give you a clear monthly figure. No cost, no commitment, no jargon.
2
Step 2
One monthly fee, 12-month term
Development runs on a fixed, manageable monthly payment instead of a huge upfront bill. Changes, improvements, and “can you just add this” are part of the deal, not a change order. If the work genuinely grows, we talk to you first.

Step 3
After launch: support only
When development is finished, the monthly fee drops to a support and bug-fix agreement, with ad-hoc work available pay-as-you-go. Your app keeps running, and keeps improving, for a fraction of the build cost.

Built in Kent, in-house
You talk to the people writing the code.
WikiTech’s developers are in-house engineers based in Maidstone. Nothing is outsourced or sent offshore: the person who scopes your project is the person who builds it, and they are one phone call away for the life of the app.
We also run WikiTech itself on software we built. Our CRM, ticketing, quoting, and the form at the top of this page all run through our own platform. We don’t just build apps for clients: we run our whole business on one.

FAQs
Custom app development, answered.
How much does a custom app cost?
Every project starts with free scoping, and you then get a clear fixed monthly figure over a 12-month term rather than a large upfront bill. The monthly model keeps costs manageable and includes updates, improvements, and changes as the build progresses. We will always put together a business case to justify the cost if you want one.
Who owns the finished application?
You do. 100% of the source code belongs to your business. Unlike SaaS products, nobody can reprice it, restrict it, or retire it, and every pound you invest builds an asset you own.
We know the problem but not the solution. Is that okay?
That is how most of our best projects start. Bring us the problem: the spreadsheet that takes hours, the paper process, the two systems that will not talk to each other. Designing the right solution is our job, not yours.
What about scope creep and changes mid-build?
They are expected, and they are included in the monthly fee. That is exactly why we do not do one-off project quotes: fixed-price projects punish every new idea with a change order until the budget or the relationship breaks. If the work genuinely outgrows the original scope, we will talk to you openly about adjusting it before anything changes.
What happens after the app is launched?
The monthly fee reduces to a support and bug-fix agreement, with ad-hoc development available pay-as-you-go. Most clients keep evolving their apps over time: new modules, new integrations, new ideas as the business grows.
Do you only work with businesses in Kent?
No. We are headquartered in Maidstone, but the apps we build are cloud-based and we work with businesses across the UK. Most of the work happens remotely, with on-site visits where they genuinely help.
Got a problem software could solve?
Tell us about the spreadsheet that takes hours, the paper process, or the licence bill that keeps growing. A developer will scope the fix for free and give you a clear monthly figure, with no obligation.
