Do you actually need an app?
Many businesses ask for an app when a well-built, mobile-optimised website or a simple web app would do the job for a fraction of the cost and be easier to maintain. Apps make sense when you need offline access, push notifications, device features like camera or GPS, or a frequent, habitual use case. We will tell you honestly which fits your situation before recommending the more expensive option.
When an app is the right call, we plan for native iOS and Android, or a cross-platform build, based on your budget, timeline and the features you need.
What's included
Backend and API development
The server-side systems that power the app, built to scale with usage.
App Store and Play Store launch
Handling the submission process, assets and store listing.
Post-launch support
Updates, bug fixes and new features after the app is live.
Native and cross-platform builds
iOS, Android or both, using the approach that fits your budget and timeline.
Product discovery
Defining the core features and user flows before any development begins.
UI/UX design
Screens designed for how people actually use a phone, not adapted from a website.
Doing business in Ottawa
Ottawa is Canada's capital, so government and public-sector contracting shape much of its economy, alongside a large tech cluster in Kanata North. Many local businesses sell to government or large institutions, which means longer sales cycles and a stronger focus on credibility.
Who this is for
Startups testing a product idea with real users, e-commerce brands needing a shopping app with catalogue and payments built in, service businesses needing booking and scheduling, and enterprises building internal apps for field or operations teams.

Frequently asked questions
Do you have an office in Ottawa?
No. We serve Ottawa businesses remotely from our offices in Islamabad and Arlington, Virginia, with calls in your business hours and written weekly updates.
Which countries do you work in?
We work with clients across Pakistan, the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, the UAE and Saudi Arabia.
Can you take over an existing app?
Yes, we can review, maintain and extend apps that were built elsewhere.
Should I build for iOS, Android, or both?
It depends on your users. We help decide based on your target audience and budget, and can build cross-platform to cover both from one codebase where it fits.
How do projects run with an Ottawa business?
Scope, milestones and price are agreed in writing first. Work then runs in short cycles with demos over video, so you see progress every week or two.
Do you handle the App Store and Play Store submission?
Yes, we manage the submission process, store assets and listing for both stores.
How long does an app take to build?
A simple MVP can take 6 to 10 weeks. More complex apps take longer, and we give a realistic timeline after the discovery stage.
Why choose ZAVYANS for mobile app development?
We start by confirming an app is the right solution before building one, rather than defaulting to the most expensive option.
