App Development
Web and mobile apps that fix a real bottleneck — built by one DFW team, not a chain of vendors.
Nobody needs "an app." They need to stop losing hours to a spreadsheet, give customers a faster way to buy, or turn a manual process into something that runs itself. We start with the bottleneck, then decide what to build against it.
PixelKraft has shipped 250+ sites and apps over 22 years from Dallas–Fort Worth. We build web platforms, native iOS apps in Swift, native Android apps, and React Native when one codebase across both stores is the smarter spend. The platform follows the problem — we don't talk you into native because it bills more.
Launching something new, rescuing a product that's buckling under its own code, or moving into mobile for the first time — it's the same team handling strategy, design, engineering, and integrations. No vendors to juggle, no finger-pointing when something breaks. The app holds up under real load and stays maintainable as your team grows into it.
When you're ready, we'll scope the build and tell you straight what it takes.
Capabilities
- Discovery that pins down the actual problem and how to ship against it
- Web apps for dashboards, portals, and platforms your team runs daily
- Native iOS (Swift) and Android when you need device-level performance
- React Native when one codebase across both stores is the smarter spend
- Integrations with your CRM, payments, booking, and internal systems
- Auth, role permissions, and audit trails that hold up under scrutiny
Deliverables
- A phased technical roadmap you can actually budget against
- Production-ready app code and the UI built on top of it
- Backend, API integration, and data architecture wired in
- QA on the flows where a bug costs you money
- Launch prep for the web and app-store submission
- Documentation, clean handoff, and an optional monthly support plan
Our process for this service
- Product discovery: We define the problem, the user journey, and what success looks like in numbers — so you fund features that earn their place, not a wish list.
- Architecture and UX: We settle the structure, integrations, and interface early, while changing them is cheap instead of a rewrite three months in.
- Development sprints: You see working software at the end of each milestone and steer it — no six-month silence followed by a surprise.
- Launch and evolution: We ship it, watch how real usage behaves, and keep improving the parts that matter once people are actually using it.
FAQ
No. We build web apps, native iOS (Swift), native Android, and React Native — the choice follows your goals, budget, and timeline, not what we feel like building.
It depends on the product. Native wins when you need deep platform features and tight performance control. React Native wins when shipping to both stores from one codebase saves real time and money.
Yes. We take on underperforming apps, fix fragile code, and migrate legacy systems in stages — no risky all-at-once rewrite that strands your users mid-switch.
Yes. We connect apps to CRMs, payment systems, booking tools, marketing platforms, and custom internal software regularly.
Yes. Monthly support retainers cover new features, bug fixes, optimization, and release management — the same team that built it, not a handoff to strangers.
Most custom app builds start in the mid five figures and scale with platform scope, integrations, and feature depth. We offer 0% financing to spread the cost.
