Every business is unique and your requirements are too. So instead of a one size fits all appraoch, we tailor what we offer to fit your needs.
We do this with a tried and tested approach, consisting of three core phases to your project: from strategic consultancy; technical app design and development; to the delivery and launch your mobile app project.
The first step we'll do is dig deep into what your new business or project is trying to achieve and attempt to answer some difficult questions like "what makes you competitive" and "why should a customer choose you?". The end result is strategic positioning of your business, and a technical scoping and specficiation document.
The middle part of the project is dedicated to the design and development of your app. We'll do this by wireframing its layout; visually designing each screen with your brand; and then developing the project with code such as Dart, Swift and Kotlin. The end result is a working app for your business.
The final phase, but most critical is the launch of your app. Whilst more agencies like to leave at this point, we intend to stick around: helping you advertise and promote your app to your customers; providing on-going technical support; and refining aspects of the app to make it more engaging and benefiical for your business.
From dating apps to warehouse auditing inspection apps, we've helped multiple businesses across the UK launch their company with the power of mobile
Whilst our clients are varied and unique, we apply our winning approach to each of them to find the best marketing and mobile solutions. Each business we work with has seen positive long term results by either demonstrating their MVP for future seed and A-series funding; or by generating organic revenue that has allowed them to continue developing their business.

Whatbook
Whatbook is the IMDB equivalent for non-fiction books.
Starting in early January 2022, Whatbook contracted Hyper Pixel to design and develop a new mobile app project: positioned to focus specifically on the non-fiction book sector. After holding multiple strategic workshops and challenging marketing discussions, we identified an opportunity in the market to focus on business and popular science books
Appealing to working professionals, Whatbook aims to inform and educate its users on which business or non-fiction books are worth the time in reading. The app itself was designed with calm soothing pastle tones and plenty of white space. The development over a 8 week period resulted in an app whereby users can view curated bookshelves, add books to reading lists, and follow social influencers to see what books they are reading.
TapDat Dating
TapDat is a liberal open minded dating app, designed from the ground up. Launched in 2020 the app now has tens of thousands of users and is now self funding.
The concept behind TapDat is to allow open minded strangers to meet for casual fun without commitments. When Hyper Pixel tackled this project, we had to ensure the brand positioning was strong so that the app didn't come across negatively or seedy.
By working with charities in the industry, as well as influencers and well being groups, the end result was an app that attracted over 50,000 users and self-generates revnue through in-app purchases and subscriptions.
Ryze
Ryze is a spin-off company from the University of East Anglia, Norwich.
With its aim of being the go-to source for high quality business school educational content, this EdTech project was designed from the ground up by Hyper Pixel, including the student facing user app; the back end editor content portal and business facing promotional website.
The Ryze project symbolised the effects of Covid-19 on the education system: whereby students relied more heavily on digital resources than ever before. The app was built with this in mind, and contains a suite of features to help students maximise their time in the app including the abilty to write notes, save lessons for future reference, and interactive quizes for testing your knowledge.
As a startup managing your time and money are crutial for success. Thats why we are open and transparent about both, allowing you to make informed decisions every step of the way.
We help small businesses build their mobile projects including companies who:
Hyper Pixel helps statups by:
We will work with you to scope out and quote for your app project so that you'll only be paying for what you need or want. However as a ball park, our app projects typically cost:
£7,500-15,000+VAT
Over the years, we've helped a number of 'true startups' refine their value proposition and position in the marketplace. We've helped them scope out their definition of what a minimal viable product (MVP) looks like, and draw up specifications for their front end mobile applications as well as their backend server data portals.
Whilst we've helped many businesses, a few of the notable ones include:
The short answer is: you dont have too, however we hope you do. We like to work with happy and content clients who feel like they are getting real value from our work. Our years of experience helping small businesses with technical mobile app based projects means we're heavily equiped to help yours.
Our strategic consultancy approach is tried and tested: helping you understand your business, understand its merits and unique selling points, and helps to refine your online offering before we start design and developing.
Our low and affordable costs may not be the cheapest, but they do deliver. Our rates are fairly positioned to offer you exactly what you and your business needs without compromising on quality.
Hyper Pixel's aim is to design and deliver a quality app project quickly and affordably. We typically see app projects launching within 12 weeks from project start - which includes all of the strategic vision planning; scoping; wireframing, design and UX planning; visually desinging the app; development; testing and launch.
Whilst 12 weeks is a ball park, we will design a launch strategy that works with your timelines including the possibilities of launching in a phased approach.
App based projects can vary considerably in cost depending on the scope of work required. For example, virtual reality apps will cost considerably more than a typical 'calculator' based app purely due to the additional work and development required to design and build virtual reality assets. However as a rule of thumb, our average new build mobile app project costs approximately £15,000 plus or take £5,000 (all prices exclude VAT).
