App design

Good app design starts with the job the user is trying to finish, not the features a brainstorm produced. We design screen by screen around that job, so the app is obvious the first time someone opens it.

One design works for both iPhone and Android, and you get a clickable prototype to put in real hands before a line of code is written — the cheapest moment to change your mind.

What from £15,000 gets you

• Up to 20 screens designed
• One design that works on iPhone and Android
• A clickable prototype you can try before anything is built
• Two rounds of revisions included

More than 20 screens? The project is specced and quoted before anything starts.

Fair use applies to every published scope — what's included, and what's quoted separately.

Questions people ask

How much does app design cost in the UK?

App design in the UK typically runs £3,000–5,000 for template work and £10,000–25,000 for custom boutique design. SilentShift designs up to 20 screens from £15,000 — properly custom, with a clickable prototype and two revision rounds.

Why a prototype before building?

Because changing a prototype costs minutes and changing a built app costs days. You try the flows on a real phone, we fix what confuses people, and only then does development start.

Do you design for iPhone and Android separately?

One design serves both, tuned where the platforms genuinely differ. It keeps the cost down and the experience consistent.
