iOS and Android apps for Melbourne businesses
We build apps for iPhone and Android phones and publish them to the App Store and Google Play under your business's developer accounts. Many apps also need an admin area on the web, where your team manages bookings, users or content, and a connection to the systems the business already runs on.
When the admin area is a product in its own right, it is a web application built alongside the app. The apps we are asked to build for Melbourne businesses are usually one of four kinds: booking and appointment apps for customers, staff and rostering apps, field tools used on site, and client portals where customers see their own records and requests.
What to prepare before you brief an app
A useful brief answers these questions. You do not need wireframes or a technical specification.
- The job the app does: who uses it, what they do in it, and how that work happens today without it.
- User roles: customers, staff, managers or admins, and what each one can see and change.
- Systems it connects to: booking, payments, accounting, a CRM or your own database.
- Platforms: iPhone, Android or both, and whether a web version is also needed.
- Accounts: whether your business already has Apple and Google developer accounts.
- Content and branding: your logo, colours, product or service data, and any copy you already have.
How app projects run
The process is the same as our mobile app development work for businesses anywhere in Australia. The scope is agreed in writing first: screens, user roles, integrations and the order in which features ship. For a new product, the first release is often an MVP with only the features needed to test it with real users. Screens are designed and agreed before the build, the app is built in phases, and it is submitted to the App Store and Google Play under your accounts.
At handover you receive the code and access. What you own and what we keep is set out on our ownership and handover page.
What affects the cost
The cost follows the scope: the number of screens and user roles, whether you need iPhone, Android or both, the systems the app connects to, an admin area on the web, and the support you need after launch.
Store accounts are a running cost of their own. The Apple Developer Program is US$99 per membership year, shown in local currency when you enrol, and Google Play charges a one-time US$25 registration fee (both checked 3 October 2026).
Our guide to what an app costs to build explains each cost driver and how to compare quotes. We quote each app against its written scope after a free consultation.
Frequently asked
Is GetQuickSites an app development company in Melbourne?
Yes. GetQuickSites Pty Ltd is a Melbourne software and web development studio that builds iOS and Android apps for businesses in Melbourne and across Australia.
What does mobile app development in Melbourne involve?
It starts with a scoping session where we map who will use the app, what each role can do and which systems it connects to. We agree the scope in writing, build the iOS and Android versions together, and submit the app to both stores under your accounts.
Can the app connect to systems we already use?
Usually. We check what your current tools expose, such as data, interfaces and permissions, and build the integration around that. Booking, payment, CRM and accounting platforms are the common ones. Where an API is missing or unreliable, we say so during scoping.
Do you build for both iOS and Android?
Yes. Both are built in the same project and published to the App Store and Google Play under your developer accounts.
What hours does the team work?
Calls, reviews and support run in AEST business hours, Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm.
Who owns the app and the store accounts?
The code, design and content we make for your app are yours at handover. The App Store and Google Play accounts are third-party services under Apple's and Google's own terms, and we publish the app under your developer accounts. Our ownership and handover page sets out what we hand over and what we keep.
How much does an app cost to build?
The cost follows the scope: the screens and user roles, iPhone, Android or both, the systems it connects to, an admin area and support after launch. We quote each app against a written scope after a free consultation, so there is no standard price. Our guide to app and software costs explains each driver and how to compare quotes.
How long does it take to build an app?
The timeline is set in writing for each app before the build starts. It depends on the number of screens and user roles, the systems the app connects to, whether you need both platforms, and how quickly decisions and content are provided. The app is built in phases, so you see working screens before the whole app is finished.
What should I prepare before briefing an app developer?
Describe the job the app does and who uses it, the user roles and what each can see, the systems it connects to, and whether you need iPhone, Android or both. Say whether your business has Apple and Google developer accounts. Wireframes are not needed; the written scope is produced from your brief.
