Luxora Hair: Flutter customer and admin apps

The published build connects Flutter applications to Firebase commerce data, Stripe payments and a separate Next.js public storefront. Inspect how the mobile, web and operator surfaces fit together, then scope the surfaces your app needs.

Clean Fridays: a booking and service platform

The project includes customer booking and operational workflows for a cleaning marketplace. Its case study and mobile recording show the decisions beyond a screen design, including the path from selecting a service to managing the booking.

What you get

Everything handled, nothing hidden

Product strategy

We stress-test the idea before you spend on it: audience, competition, feature priorities, and the smallest version worth launching.

UX & interactive prototypes

Clickable prototypes you can put in real users’ hands before a line of production code — cheap changes now instead of expensive ones later.

Web & mobile development

Modern stacks, clean code, and interfaces with the interactive polish our name promises. Built to scale from ten users to ten thousand.

Internal tools & automation

Ops dashboards, booking platforms, client portals, and workflow automation that give your team hours back every week.

Integrations

CRMs, payment gateways, HubSpot, Salesforce, and the systems you already run — connected so data flows instead of being re-typed.

Acceptance and handover

Agree the complete journeys that demonstrate the first release works, including access rules, interrupted payments and staff recovery. The handover covers source access, build instructions, account ownership and the care arrangement.

Fit

Who this is for

An internal tool for your team

A focused operations app starts at $4,000 + GST. Bring the repeated task, staff roles and existing data. We define who can change a record, which tools need to connect and what happens when a step fails before quoting the first useful release.

A web app MVP for a customer workflow

Web app MVPs start at $11,000 + GST. Choose the core task, account roles, payments and administration needed for that release. We prototype the journey and agree acceptance checks so both teams know what the quoted stage must deliver.

Compare app scopes and operating costs ↗

A mobile product for iOS and Android

Cross-platform mobile development starts at $26,000 + GST. Flutter can share application work across platforms while camera, notifications, offline behaviour and payment requirements still need device-specific decisions. Luxora Hair is our published Flutter implementation.

Outcomes

What you walk away with

Fixed stages, not open-ended hours

Scope, prototype, build, launch. You see working software every fortnight, not a six-month black box.

Ownership and release handover

Agree who controls the source repository, cloud accounts, signing and store accounts, with build instructions and maintenance responsibilities in the scope. Your team should know how the product will be operated after launch.

Web, mobile, or both

Cross-platform where it saves money; native when performance demands it. Honest recommendation in Discovery.

Published product outcomes

Named studies include Luxora Hair (Flutter ecommerce plus native iOS and Android) and The Makeup Co (beauty commerce). Other product work ships under NDA; the systems stay live either way.

How it works

A process without black boxes

  1. Scope

    A Discovery Session to define the problem, users, and the smallest version worth building.

  2. Prototype

    Wireframes and interactive prototypes tested with real users before production begins.

  3. Build

    Agile sprints with working software you can click every fortnight — no six-month black boxes.

  4. Launch & iterate

    App store or cloud deployment, analytics wired in, and a roadmap driven by real usage.

Questions

Straight answers

How much does app development cost in Australia?

Internal tools typically start from $4,000 + GST, web app MVPs from $11,000 + GST, and cross-platform mobile apps from $26,000 + GST. Full consumer products run higher depending on scope. We quote fixed stages in a free Discovery Session, not open-ended hours.

Who owns the app code and accounts?

Source ownership, repository access, cloud accounts, store accounts and the handover belong in the written scope. We document the build and release process so the agreed maintainer can operate the product. Ask for third-party licences and recurring provider costs alongside the build quote.

Do you build both iOS and Android apps?

Yes. We use cross-platform frameworks where it makes sense so one codebase serves both stores, and native approaches when performance demands it.

What if I only have an idea, not a spec?

That is the normal starting point. The Discovery Session turns an idea into a scoped plan: features, priorities, timeline, and cost. Yours to keep either way.

Should I build a web app or a mobile app first?

Most businesses should start with the surface their customers already use. We wrote a full guide comparing web vs mobile apps, and we decide in Discovery based on audience and distribution, not fashion.

Do you maintain apps after launch?

Yes. Care plans cover updates, monitoring, bug fixes, and feature iterations driven by real usage analytics.

Can you integrate with our CRM and payments?

Yes. HubSpot, Salesforce, Stripe, Square, and custom APIs are common. Integrations are designed in the prototype stage so they are not bolted on at the end.

How long does an MVP take?

Focused internal tools and MVPs often land in 8–15 weeks depending on complexity. Consumer apps with store review cycles take longer. Timeline is fixed in the quote before build starts.
