Independent app development studio

Fixed-price apps, built by the engineers who write the code.

No account managers. No agency margin. Two specialists, embedded full-time on your build from first spec to launch.

Two dedicated specialists. One fixed price. Production-ready apps.

Why Kafi & Kafi

A small studio built to remove the overhead that sits between you and the work.

Fixed price, fixed scope

Agreed up front and written down. No day-rate surprises and no scope-creep billing halfway through.

Direct access

You work with the two people writing the code. No account managers, no delivery layer in between.

Full-time, dedicated

We take on one build at a time. We aren't juggling five other client accounts alongside yours.

6 months of support

Post-launch support included as standard. 24-hour response on bug fixes and enquiries for six months after delivery.

Engagement model

The fixed price is split across three phases. Each phase is gated on your sign-off, and each is paid only once the delivered work is approved.

01

Discovery & Design

Requirements, architecture and the full design of what will be built. Signed off before a line of production code is written.

02

Core Build

The application itself — data layer, engines, interfaces and integrations — demonstrated and approved against the agreed scope.

03

Testing & Launch

QA, accessibility and performance work, then launch, handover and documentation. 6 months of post-launch support begins on delivery.
