Your app or website, built and looked after
Eightyfour builds mobile apps and websites for small businesses, community projects and independent creators. Whether you run a shop, a café, a trade, a club or a brand-new venture, we design your app or website with you, build it, get it into the app stores or online, and keep it running. You can update it yourself, without needing to know how any of it works.
Your new app or website
- Designed with you
- In the app stores or online
- Kept running and backed up
- Easy for you to update
- Live on iPhone, Android and the web
Everything your app or website needs, from one team
You talk to the same small team from the first chat to the day it goes live, and every day after. No jargon, no hand-offs, no surprises.
A plan in plain English
Start hereWe start with a conversation about what you do and what you want your app or website to achieve. Then you get a clear plan and a price before anything is built.
Mobile apps
AppsiPhone and Android apps for bookings, memberships, communities, wellbeing and more. We design it, build it and get it into the App Store and Google Play. Recently, a blank page to the App Store in two weeks.
Websites too
WebsitesA site to go with your app, or on its own. Pages, news, photos, events, newsletters, donations or a small shop, all editable by you in a simple editor.
Hosting and backups
CareHosting is just the computers running in the background that keep your app and website working and hold their data. Ours are run by us. We keep them safe and back everything up every day, so you never have to think about it.
Simple prices, no surprises
Every project starts with the build and the hosting. After that, you choose how much help you want from us each month. Everything is priced up front, so you know what you're paying before we start.
Every project starts with
Build
Two weeks of intense development on your app or website, from a blank page to the app stores or your own web address. We show you how to update it yourself.
Hosting
Hosting is just the computers running in the background that keep your app and website working and hold their data. Ours are run by us, kept secure and backed up every night, and sized for a typical small business.
Both are part of every initial contract. Bigger builds get their own quote.

Charity, CIC or just starting out?
If you're a charity, a community interest company, a community group or a social enterprise, or you're just getting going, give us a call. We're always happy to work out a price that fits.
Prices exclude VAT. A request is one change, such as a new page, updated wording, new photos or a small feature. Unlimited care works through requests one at a time. Hosting is sized for the traffic a typical small business gets. If your app or site gets a lot busier than that, we'll put together a custom hosting package with you. You can move between care options at any time.
Designed, built and looked after
Hüff turns science-backed breathing exercises into small daily moments. We made the whole thing: the app on your phone, the website, the sign-up and payments, and the computers behind it all.
- iPhone and Android app, on both app stores
- Guided sessions, progress tracking and live group sessions
- Website, sign-up and membership handled in the same place
- Live, used every day and updated regularly
Citizen science in seconds
The Nature Recorder app turns a farm visit into wildlife data. Pick a species, take a photo and drop a pin on the illustrated farm map. It works on iPhone and Android and shares everything with the farm's website.
- iPhone and Android app
- No sign-up: children get a friendly farm name and start recording straight away
- Live team recording events, with a QR code to join and a scoreboard
- Sightings appear on the farm's website automatically
And a website to match
The Nature Recorder app shares everything with the farm's website, which we built too. The farm team runs it themselves: they add events, pages and photos without any help from us. It's kept online and looked after by Eightyfour.
- The farm team updates events, pages and photos themselves
- Online donations, a blog and live nature sightings
- Works on phones, tablets and computers
Collect beans in one shop. Spend them in any.
anybean is one loyalty card shared by independent coffee shops. Every coffee earns a bean at any shop in the network, and ten beans buys a free coffee at any of them. We built the app for customers, the counter tools for the shops and the website behind it all.
- iPhone and Android app, with a shop mode for staff at the counter
- Ten beans from any shop in the network means a free coffee at any of them
- Staff scan and stamp from their own phone, even when the wifi drops
- A shop finder with a map, and every shop keeps its own page up to date
Coming soon to the App Store and Google Play
“From a blank page to the App Store in two weeks.”
We use the latest AI tools alongside our own experience, so we design and build faster than ever. We recently took an app from nothing to the App Store in two weeks, something that used to take six months to a year. You get the same small team and the same care, just a lot sooner.
App or website? Let's talk.
Apps and websites from £2,000, hosting from £25 a month, and care plans if you'd rather we made the changes. Tell us a little about what you do and we'll come back with ideas, with no obligation.
News and tips
All posts →We shipped an app to Google Play in 5 days. Here's why speed matters.
anybean, a loyalty app for coffee shops, went from idea to live on Google Play in 5 days. Not to beat anyone to market, but because the fastest way to know if an idea works is to put it in someone's hands.
