Mobile app development

A well designed and developed mobile app can take your service to the next level, reaching audiences on the move in ways the desktop can’t.

Hybrid efficiency

We have extensive experience in mobile app development, designing and building iOS and Android apps for release through the Apple and Google stores. We also create enterprise apps for organisational use that seamlessly integrate with other systems, including web applications, customer relationship management (CRM) systems and databases.

We primarily work with hybrid and progressive web apps (PWAs) as they provide all the benefits of native development but with reduced cost. This means your app can share the majority of its codebase with a website resulting in less upfront development time and greater efficiency in any future work. The hybrid approach is functional and scalable, offering the perfect route to launch or grow across the mobile web.

Secure & stable

We approach your project with design and user experience to the fore to ensure all user interface (UI) development is optimised around its intended audience. We prototype until the visual and functional elements work together perfectly and our developers also ensure the latest in-device features are integrated within your app.

We understand the importance of keeping your app and its integrations safe and secure. If you need to move data to or from a separate application, or create an application programming interface (API), we will ensure latest industry best practice for security and resilience is applied.

Support & protection

OWA offers ongoing technical support for all the mobile apps we develop, starting with an inclusive 12-month warranty against any bugs or errors. We also provide ongoing technical support for your legacy systems and third-party mobile apps, subject to the necessary checks. 

Support can be combined with a hosting arrangement at our independent, fully managed UK-based data centres, providing a single, joined-up service for your mobile app. 

Knowing exactly where your data is stored geographically is important. Our hosting facility locations are ISO 27001 Information Security Management-certified, meaning your data is fully protected by UK law and is GDPR compliant.

Powering your services

OWA has been developing, hosting and supporting secure enterprise applications and digital products since 1995. 

All OWA builds are standalone or can sit within a suite of integrated technologies complementing each other seamlessly, ensuring your data, services and content appear exactly where they are needed.

Our support and hosting services are fully managed in-house and reflect our proactive approach to security, performance and stability. Both support and hosting issues are monitored and can be reported and tracked by our clients 24/7 using our online client portal.
