We build mobile solutions that actually work for your business
Since 2019, we've been helping businesses across the United Kingdom transform their ideas into functional mobile applications. No corporate fluff, just honest work.
Based in Gravesend, we're a small team that prefers straightforward conversations over endless meetings. We focus on what matters — creating mobile apps that solve real problems.
Started with a simple question
Back in early 2019, we noticed something odd. Businesses were paying ridiculous amounts for mobile apps that barely worked. The gap between what companies needed and what they received was frustrating to watch.
So we started lighta-portalx with a different approach. We'd listen first, code second. Sounds obvious, right? Yet it seemed revolutionary compared to the usual "here's our template, fit your business into it" approach most developers were pushing.
Six years later, we're still doing the same thing — just with more experience under our belts and a better understanding of what works in the real world versus what looks good in a pitch deck.
What guides our work
These aren't motivational posters on our wall. They're the principles we actually use when making decisions about projects and client relationships.
Honest timelines
We'd rather lose a project than promise something unrealistic. If your timeline doesn't match technical reality, we'll tell you upfront — not three weeks before your supposed launch date.
Code that lasts
Building apps isn't just about launching. It's about creating something maintainable. We write clean code so you're not stuck with a mess when you need updates in 2026 or beyond.
Real communication
No hiding behind jargon or vague status updates. You'll know exactly where your project stands, what challenges we're facing, and what decisions need your input.
Branimir Kelić
Lead Developer & Technical Director
Been coding mobile apps since 2015, which feels like several lifetimes ago in tech years. Started with native Android development, moved through various frameworks, and eventually found what actually works for business applications.
Most of my day involves solving problems that clients didn't even know they had yet. The interesting part isn't writing code — it's figuring out what code needs to be written in the first place.
Background bits
- Developed 40+ mobile applications for UK businesses between 2019 and 2025
- Specialized in healthcare and logistics sector mobile solutions
- Regular contributor to mobile development discussions in UK tech communities
- Believes documentation is as important as the code itself
How we actually work with clients
First conversation is always exploratory. We need to understand your business, not just your app idea. Sometimes the solution isn't even an app — and we'll tell you that rather than take your money for something unnecessary.
Once we agree to work together, you get direct access to whoever's working on your project. No account managers playing telephone. Questions go to people who can actually answer them.
We typically work in two-week development cycles. You see progress regularly, provide feedback that actually gets incorporated, and understand what's happening with your investment.
Let's talk about your mobile project
Whether you have detailed specifications or just a rough idea, we can have an honest conversation about what's possible, what it might cost, and whether we're the right fit for your needs.
