A small studio with a large toolchain
BeeBuild builds Android and iOS apps for businesses that already have something real: a working website, a service people book, a catalogue people order from. The studio is deliberately small, and the tooling is deliberately not.
Why the studio exists
Businesses ask for an app for a practical reason: customers want the thing on their phone, and a browser tab is not a habit. The two usual answers are a template with a logo on it, or an agency quote that assumes a bank and a board. Neither is a good answer for a working business that needs a real build.
So the offer is narrow on purpose. Convert an existing website into an Android or iOS app at a fixed starting price, or build a custom app that is scoped by category and priced before the work begins. Both come with the same rule: you see the price, the scope, and the files before you pay for anything.
How the work actually happens
Three habits explain the speed better than any claim about being fast.
AI does the first draft
Screens, data models, and tests are generated, which removes the blank-page week at the start of every build. The draft is a starting point, not a deliverable.
A developer makes the calls
Every generated line is reviewed. Architecture, state, error handling, and anything touching a payment or an account is decided by a person who has shipped before.
The portal is the record
Scope, price, files, and messages sit in one project. Nothing important lives only in a chat thread that disappears when a phone is replaced.
What we are not
Being clear about the edges saves both sides a meeting.
- Not a store approval service. Google and Apple make that decision; we prepare the build and tell you honestly when a thin wrapper is a review risk.
- Not a template marketplace. When a template is the right answer we say so, and it is priced as a template rather than dressed up as custom work.
- Not a closed testing provider. Closed testing is TesterBee, a separate service with its own pricing, and never implied to be part of a package.
- Not a content studio. Copy, brand identity, and photography are your call; we build the app around what you have.
What good work looks like here
Three things we would rather be judged on than a portfolio carousel.
- It runs on a real device, on a weak connection, with the back button doing what people expect.
- The next developer can read it. No mystery dependency holding the app hostage.
- The invoice matches the quote, because scope changes are agreed before they are built.
