Custom apps
By crafting apps that prioritize user needs and desires, we help brands create digital experiences that truly connect with and care for their users.
Building a brand that truly matters means cultivating authentic and enriching connections. It means taking the time to understand your audiences’ needs and then delivering on your promises.
We understand that a well-crafted app can be a powerful tool for enhancing the user experience, building brand awareness, and driving business growth. Our custom software development services are designed to help businesses achieve their potential by creating intuitive, user-friendly, and powerfully functional apps that serve the needs of its users.
You have an exciting new idea, but will it work? And what will it take to get there? We help you move beyond the initial “hunch” and move towards a more concrete understanding to prove out your idea. Through our app Product Strategy + Planning process you’ll define your app’s “why?”, identify key user stories, establish desired attributes, and determine the right look and feel.
Together, we ensure that your app is tailored to your specific needs and goals, and reflects the unique value of your brand. We bring together your key stakeholders—especially your intended users—and from this research form critical insights in order to produce deliverables that set your project up for success. Key deliverables include:
- Requirements document
- User Stories
- Wireframes & User flows
- Interactive Prototype
- Technical Architecture
- Project Plan
Our UI/UX App Design services are all about creating beautiful digital experiences that truly care for the user.

A brand’s visual identity and core messages are crucial to effective branding, which is why we incorporate these elements into our design process.

We all know how frustrating it is to use a janky app. Just like a garden needs regular attention and care to thrive, your app needs regular updates and maintenance to stay relevant and running smoothly. Think of us as your app gardeners, tending to the needs of your app so that it can grow and flourish. Whether you need regular maintenance or ongoing support, our team is here to help you cultivate an app that your users will love.
It’s hard to admit that we’ve been building websites and custom apps for our clients for over 15 years now. And while we’re still looking for the client with an unlimited budget (let us know if you’re interested?!)—we know that the reality is that with every engagement, we have to be able to address the big question: “How much is it going to cost?”
We wrote this article to explain more about how we answer that question.
Cultivate built a comprehensive solution that addressed all of our needs instead of just the most apparent ones. Through their independent analysis of our requirements, they identified areas that were essential for the project’s success. In addition to that, the app’s UI/UX design was incredibly intuitive and represented our brand very well.
I worked with two other development companies in the past, but Cultivate provided an entirely different level of experience for us both in the development process and the end results. They were in a wholly different league of developers.
The team was so much more than app developers or designers; they truly functioned as if they were a stakeholder in our business.
The app that Cultivate developed played a significant role in catapulting the business into growth and success. The team confidently executed an effective brand strategy, expertly aligning the business with the targeted millennial market and opening doors with the audience of tentative jewelers.
