Tell us what you're building
An idea, a roadmap, or a codebase that needs help. We read it, ask the awkward questions, and come back with a fixed-price proposal.
iOS · Android · Web
Great software.
Shipped.
A small team of developers with deep expertise in the platforms we work on. We build iOS, Android and web applications for startups and established companies, and we keep them running after launch.
Led by Matt Buckley, who has shipped apps for Fortune 100 companies, early-stage startups, and everything in between.
How a project runs
Working software every week
You see real builds on real devices from the first week, not a demo at the end. Tests, CI and store setup are part of the work, not extras.
Launch, then keep going
App Store and Play Store submission, monitoring, and a maintenance plan so the app still works a year from now.
Services
Three things we do well.
The same delivery model, product philosophy and code standards on every engagement, whether you need a self-contained team or an extra set of hands.
App development
Turning a product idea into something in users' hands. iOS, Android and web, native or cross-platform, from the first screen to the store listing.
Codebase maintenance
Launch day is the beginning. Performance work, bug elimination, a real test suite, or a small feature added carefully to a mature codebase.
Training
Working alongside your team to build the habits that ship scalable, robust and maintainable software: code review, testing, release process.

About
Small on purpose.
Small Dev Shop is led by Matt Buckley, lead developer. The delivery model, product philosophy and code standards here were honed over years building applications for Fortune 100 companies, early-stage startups, and everything in between.
Staying small means the person you scope the project with is the person writing the code. No account managers, no hand-offs, and no surprises about who is actually doing the work.
What clients say
Matt worked closely with us to develop our MVP iOS product. His team helped us move quickly and iterate toward a deliverable that exceeded our expectations.
Get started
Tell us about your project.
One email is enough to start. We reply within one business day with questions or a time to talk.
- Good to include
- What the product does, who it is for, what exists today (designs, a codebase, an app in the store), and when you need it.
- What you get back
- A short written proposal with a fixed price and a schedule, usually within a week of the first call.
- Engagements
- Fixed-price projects, ongoing maintenance retainers, and short training blocks for in-house teams.
