The short version

What application development services include

Application development services cover everything involved in turning a business need into working software: discovery, architecture, design, build, testing, deployment, and ongoing support. The application might be a customer-facing web product, a cloud-native platform, a mobile app, or an internal enterprise system.

We deliver all of these on Microsoft Azure as a Microsoft Solutions Partner. We pick the right architecture and services for each project, rather than applying a fixed template, and we use AI-augmented development to compress timelines without compromising quality.

What we deliver

Application development capabilities

From web and cloud applications to mobile apps, enterprise systems, and AI-enhanced products, all built and engineered on Microsoft Azure.

Web application development

Browser-based applications and internal tools built with React and .NET on Azure. From customer portals to operational dashboards, we build secure, scalable web apps with full code ownership.

Cloud application development

Cloud-native applications on Microsoft Azure using managed services, auto-scaling, and infrastructure as code. The right architecture for resilience, geographic reach, and predictable cost.

Mobile application development

Native and cross-platform iOS and Android apps built with React Native, backed by secure, event-driven backends on Azure.

Enterprise application development

Mission-critical line-of-business systems for large organisations, with the security, compliance, and availability that regulated environments demand.

API and integration development

REST, GraphQL, and gRPC APIs, plus event-driven integration with Azure API Management, Service Bus, and Event Hubs. We connect your applications to the systems they depend on.

AI-enhanced applications

Applications with generative AI built in: retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), custom copilots, and intelligent automation on Azure OpenAI and Semantic Kernel.

Why Talk Think Do

An application development partner you can trust

Microsoft Solutions Partner

We hold Microsoft Solutions Partner designations in Digital and App Innovation, Azure Infrastructure, and DevOps and GitHub. Azure underpins every application we deliver.

AI-accelerated delivery

We use AI-augmented development (Cursor and Claude Code) across every role to deliver 40-50% faster than traditional methods, without compromising on architecture or security.

Full code ownership

You own the intellectual property in everything we build, with clear IP terms from day one. No lock-in, no proprietary black boxes.

Security and compliance built in

We are ISO 27001 certified and Cyber Essentials Plus accredited, and an approved Crown Commercial Service supplier on G-Cloud. Security is designed in, not bolted on.

How we deliver

From discovery to production, accelerated by AI

A structured delivery process that proves the architecture early and ships working software every two weeks.

Step One 1-2 weeks

Discovery and Architecture

We map your requirements, users, data, and constraints, then design the right application architecture and Azure service selection. You receive a target architecture, cost model, and delivery roadmap before development begins.

Step Two 2-3 weeks

Foundation Sprint

We set up the project foundation: Azure infrastructure as code, CI/CD pipelines, identity, monitoring, and security controls. A walking skeleton proves the architecture end-to-end before feature work begins.

Step Three

Iterative Delivery

We build in two-week sprints with AI-augmented development accelerating every phase. Working software is deployed continuously, with regular demos keeping the project aligned to business goals.

Step Four

Launch and Ongoing Support

We deploy to production with monitoring, documentation, and knowledge transfer. Our managed application support team provides SLA-backed maintenance and continuous improvement.

Talk Think Do provides full-lifecycle application development services on Microsoft Azure, with AI-accelerated delivery and full code ownership.

What types of applications do you build?

We build a broad range of applications, including:

Web applications and internal tools
Cloud-native applications on Azure
iOS and Android mobile apps
Enterprise line-of-business systems
APIs, integrations, and AI-enhanced applications

How much do application development services cost in the UK?

A focused application typically costs £50,000 to £150,000 and takes 8-12 weeks. Larger enterprise platforms range from £150,000 to £500,000+. Estimates include architecture, development, infrastructure, and deployment. Our AI-augmented approach delivers 40-50% faster than traditional methods. See our pricing guide for more detail.

Do we own the code you build?

Yes. You own the full intellectual property in every application we develop, with clear terms agreed at the outset. We hand over clean, documented, version-controlled code so your team or any other partner can maintain it.

Which technologies do you use?

Our core stack is C# and .NET, React and React Native, and Microsoft Azure (including Azure Kubernetes Service, Azure Functions, Azure SQL, and Cosmos DB). We select the right services for each project rather than applying a fixed template.

AI insights

See how AI is changing how we build software

Our quarterly AI Velocity Report tracks real delivery metrics from live projects: how much of our code is AI-authored, how delivery timelines compare to baseline, and which tools are making a measurable difference. No marketing spin, just honest data from a team that builds software every day.
