Why Go for
World-Class Design?

You’ve got three seconds to capture a user’s attention, or they’re gone forever. So let’s create an app that’s unforgettable.

How to Design for Success

Start with Strategy

To design your perfect app, we start with your vision. From there, a good strategy needs designers, developers, and marketers. At Appetiser, those specialists will form your team. Together with our user data, we’ll kick-start your app’s rapid growth. We’ve learned from designing over 100 apps with millions of users. Your success is our success.

Design to World-Class Standards

Modern audiences won’t engage with average designs. It’s easy to create an app that’s pretty, but it’s hard to make one that succeeds. To attract users, we need to compete with other apps for their attention, and our results show we know how.
Hold yourself to the global standard. We’re ranked #6 in the world for app design. No other Australian company is even in the top 100.

Get Traction in 30 Days or Less.

With Momentum, we focus on achieving rapid traction for your app. Through weekly group consulting sessions, you’ll collaborate with experts and fellow partners, gaining insights from successful fundraisers who have raised over $1,500,000.

Build and Grow

Design done? Strap yourself in because we don’t just do app development. Appetiser is your growth machine that will supercharge your journey to success. Two of our clients are now billion-dollar companies. Three are halfway there. Could you be next?

People Also Asked

What’s the difference between app design and app development?

Design is how your app looks and feels. Development is how it works. We bring both together from day one. That’s how we create apps that not only look stunning but actually solve problems and scale.

Do I need to have everything planned before reaching out?

Not at all. Many of our most successful partners started with a loose idea. We’ll help shape it with you — from defining the concept and wireframes to designing a product users want to come back to.

How long does the whole process take?

Timelines vary depending on the project, but we’ve helped clients go from idea to launch in as fast as 4 to 6 months, like we did with the YouFoodz. We move fast, and we keep you in the loop every step of the way.

Will the app be custom-built for my business?

Yes. Every app we build is unique. No templates, no shortcuts. We tailor the design and functionality to your users, your brand, and your goals.

Do I get a say in the design and features?

Absolutely. We believe the best apps are built through collaboration. You’ll be involved in key decisions — from initial sketches to final polish — and backed by a team that knows how to bring ideas to life.

What platforms can you build for?

We build for iOS, Android, and the web. Whether you’re going native or cross-platform, we’ll help you choose the right tech stack to support your vision.

What happens after the app is launched?

We don’t vanish at launch. We support updates, improvements, and scale-ups. Whether it’s adding new features or evolving based on user feedback, we’re here to grow with you.
