Mobile apps
Many Qatar businesses want an app but worry about the cost, the store approval and who will keep it working. We build iPhone and Android apps for customers or staff, in Arabic and English, from the first scope to store submission and support after launch. The store accounts stay in your name, and the support plan is written before work starts.
Yes
Tell us what the app does and what needs to change, and we will quote for improving, updating or maintaining it.
No
Tell us who will use the app and the main things they need to do, and we will quote for a first version.
Apps built for both stores, from one scope and one plan
App screens in Arabic and English, with Arabic right to left
Developer accounts and app listings registered in your name
Websites and digital marketing for over a decade
Most business apps start as one of four kinds. The proposal states which screens and features are included.
An app your customers use to buy, book or follow
An app your team uses at work, in or out of office
Bookings or orders placed in a few taps on a phone
An app plus the panel your team uses to manage it
An app earns its place on a phone when it makes a task quicker than the website. These are seven things a business app often needs to do.
The proposal lists the ones your app includes.
Our working hours overlap with Qatar for most of the day from Monday to Thursday. Meetings happen by video call, and every stage ends with your approval.
You test the app before it reaches the stores.
We agree who will use the app, the tasks it must handle, the screens it needs and whether it needs an admin panel. You approve the scope and the quote before any design or build work starts.
We sketch the main screens and how users move between them, in Arabic and English. You check the flow early, while changes are still quick to make.
We design the app screens in your brand style, with Arabic laid out right to left and English left to right. You review the designs on your own phone and ask for any changes.
We build the app with the technology stated in the proposal, in stages, and connect it to any agreed systems. You can try each stage on a test version installed on your phone.
We test the app on iPhone and Android devices in both languages, fix what we find, and then your team tests it with real tasks before it is sent to the stores.
We prepare the store listings and submit the app from your developer accounts. The proposal states the support included after launch and how updates are handled.
An app is not always the answer. Three common situations, and what usually fits each one.
Customers return often
The same people order again and again.
Visitors come once
Most people visit a single time.
Staff work on the road
Teams report from sites and cars.
It should be clear from day one what belongs to you. The proposal states who owns the accounts, the code and the data.
The developer accounts are in your name.
Most of these projects are for clients outside Qatar. None is presented as a Qatar project unless it is labelled that way.
A sample of our wider work.
Each service has its own page and scope. A proposal covers only what you ask for.
Platforms
Technology
Back end
An app scope is only as clear as our picture of the people who will use it. Gather what you can, and anything missing becomes a question in our reply.
Not sure an app is the right choice? Tell us the problem, and we will advise.
These logos belong to Creative 4 All clients across different markets and services. Not all are based in Qatar, and not all used mobile app services.
Each sector uses apps for a different main task. These are common patterns. They are examples, not a list of our Qatar clients.
Restaurants: ordering and loyalty
Retail: products, offers and orders
Clinics: bookings and reminders
Education: classes, results and news
Logistics: drivers and deliveries
Real estate: listings and viewings
Events: tickets, agenda and updates
Services: requests and field teams
App quotes vary because platforms, screens and integrations vary. The best way to compare them is to see which screens each one covers, and what you will pay every year after launch.
Three items to expect in a proposal:
With your quote request, we confirm the platforms, screens and integrations included.
iPhone, Android or both changes how much building and testing is needed.
More screens and two languages mean more design and testing work.
An admin panel and links to other systems each add their own work.
Phone systems change every year, so plan updates from the start.
Use the quote form to tell us who will use the app and what they need to do, for example: we need an app for our customers in Qatar to book appointments and see their history, in Arabic and English. We reply with the questions we need answered before preparing a proposal.
A mobile app suits people who use it often and want it on their home screen. A web application runs in any browser and suits tools used on computers or by fewer people. A ready business system may already do what you need, faster and for less. We help you choose before you commit.
Short answers on cost, time, platforms, languages, stores, ownership and support.
It depends on the platforms, screens, admin panel, integrations and languages. The proposal lists each item and the yearly costs, and a staged plan can spread the cost.
A focused first version usually takes a few months, and larger apps longer. The timeline depends on the scope, feedback and store review, and it is set in the proposal.
Yes. Most business apps are built for both. The technology is chosen for each project and stated in the proposal, along with the phone systems the app supports.
Yes. The app can be in Arabic, English or both, with Arabic laid out right to left and a language switch users can change. Both versions are tested on real devices.
We follow Apple and Google rules from the start and fix any issues the review raises. Approval is decided by the stores, so no one can guarantee it, but most issues are solvable.
You do. The Apple and Google developer accounts are registered in your business name, and we are added as users. You can remove our access at any time.
The proposal states the support included after launch. Ongoing maintenance, such as updates for new phone systems, can be quoted as a separate plan if you want it.
Yes. New features are scoped and quoted one by one, or within a support plan. Each update is tested and sent to the stores from your developer accounts.
If payments are part of the scope, we connect the payment gateway your business contracts with. The proposal states whether payments are included and how they work.
Yes. After launch, app store optimisation improves the store listing, and paid social ads can promote the app, each quoted separately.
No. We work with you by video call and email. Our working days overlap with Qatar for most of the day from Monday to Thursday.
