For founders and businesses

Mobile and web app development in Montreal.

Start with what people need, then plan, design and build a useful first release. We help you choose between a mobile app and a web platform based on how it will be used.

A free 15-minute call to discuss your idea and a sensible first version.

  • Mobile and web apps
  • Clear scope before we begin
  • Code and accounts stay yours
KernelAI mobile app, designed and built by Five Square Design

Apps and platforms we’ve built.

Our own mobile products, KernelAI, Offlinguo and Littleward, show our product work. CasPro, Club Nutri Choix and Gentlemen Barbier show web platforms built for client businesses. See each project for its context.

Building a tool for an existing business?

An operational problem may need a business tool rather than a new mobile product.

Custom software

Plan a tool around quoting, memberships or daily work that existing software does not handle well.

Start with what matters.

Decide who the app is for, what it needs to do, and what can wait.

You have an idea

Tell us who the app is for and what it should help them do. We turn that into a plan for the first version.

You have notes or a prototype

We review what you have and work through the questions that need answers before we start building.

Your product needs help

We review the app as it is today and explain what can be kept, improved, or changed.

You are unsure which platform fits

We explain the mobile and web options based on how people will use the app and what you need it to do.

From a plan to a working app.

Agree on scope, timeline, and estimate before development begins.

  • A clear plan for who the app serves and what it does
  • Screen planning and clickable prototype
  • First-release scope
  • Timeline and estimate
  • Mobile or web app design
  • Development and working progress reviews
  • Release preparation
  • Source code, accounts, data, and documentation

From first call to launch.

Clear stages, with something to review at every step.

    Launch with a clear handover.

A clear plan before you build.

We help you decide what the first version needs to do, what can wait, and what it will take to launch. You review the plan and estimate before development begins.

Before you start your project.
