Custom development FAQs
Can you build a customer-facing app and an internal CRM?
Yes. A project can include a public customer experience and a separate authenticated workspace for staff, with roles and permissions designed for the use case.
Can my new app connect to the services I already use?
Often. We review the provider's API access, data formats, permissions and costs before committing to an integration.
Do I have to host the app with TheAppGuy?
Not necessarily. We can discuss managed hosting or an agreed deployment environment. We document infrastructure requirements and responsibilities in the project agreement.
How much does a custom app cost?
Pricing depends on scope, integrations, platform and ongoing support. Send your goals and we'll outline the first workable release before providing a quote.
