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
UI/UX design
Screens designed for how people actually use a phone, not adapted from a website.
Backend and API development
The server-side systems that power the app, built to scale with usage.
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.
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.
Working with UK businesses
We work with UK businesses remotely from Islamabad, which is four to five hours ahead of the UK, so our working day overlaps your morning and early afternoon. Calls are scheduled in UK hours, reporting and invoicing are in GBP, and there's no UK office overhead built into our fees. We don't have a UK office, and we say so plainly.

Frequently asked questions
Do you have an office in the UK?
No. We serve UK businesses remotely from our offices in Islamabad, Pakistan and Arlington, Virginia (USA), with scheduled calls in your time zone, written weekly reporting and invoicing in GBP.
Can you take over an existing app?
Yes, we can review, maintain and extend apps that were built elsewhere.
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.
Do your UK websites meet accessibility and cookie rules?
We build to WCAG 2.2 AA, set up cookie consent that meets UK GDPR and PECR, and integrate payments through Stripe, PayPal, GoCardless or Worldpay with VAT handled.
Do you handle the App Store and Play Store submission?
Yes, we manage the submission process, store assets and listing for both stores.
What rules apply to Mobile App Development in the UK?
Websites and apps must handle personal data under UK GDPR and cookies under PECR, and public-sector sites must also meet accessibility regulations. We plan the work with this in mind, and you approve anything customer-facing before it goes live.
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.
What do you need from me to start?
A description of the problem the app solves, your target users, and a short discovery call to confirm an app is the right approach.
Which cities in the UK do you work with?
Businesses anywhere in the UK, including London, Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, Glasgow, Liverpool, Edinburgh, Bristol, Sheffield and Newcastle. Campaigns and content can be targeted to specific cities or regions.
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.
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.
What happens after launch?
We offer ongoing support plans for updates, bug fixes and new features as your app grows.
