You'll be writing to the people who released these apps.
Nobody passes your project along. The person who reads your first email is the one who builds it, and still looks after it once it's live.
- We've been through the app store reviewsCamping Australia is on the App Store and Google Play, and EscapeTo is on the App Store. We did those submissions ourselves.
- Running it is part of the planBefore we write any code, we agree who will update it and who answers for it when something breaks.
- Bugs go to the person who wrote the codeThere's no help desk in between. Your email goes to the person who built the thing that broke, so they don't have to learn it first.
A few questions people ask about getting an app built.
Do you build for both iPhone and Android?
Yes. We build native apps for both. Camping Australia is on the App Store and Google Play, and EscapeTo is on the App Store.
How much does it cost to build an app?
We don't publish a price list, because the price depends on what it has to do. Tell us the job in a few lines and we'll write back with the questions we need answered first.
Can I see work you've done for other businesses?
Not yet. We have no client case studies, so the proof is the seven products we built and still run. Each one has a case page on this site and a link to the live product.
Can you take over an app we already have?
It depends on what's there. Send us what you have and we'll read through it first, then tell you what we'd change, or that we're not the right people for it.
Do you look after the app once it's live?
We can. Before we write any code, we agree who will update it and who answers for it when something breaks. We still run both of our own apps.
Is JOLA based in Melbourne?
Yes. JOLA PTY LTD is a Melbourne company, ABN 65 159 395 114. Email is the best way to reach us: contact@jola.com.au.
