Bubble development services

Three ways we work on Bubble apps

Almost every Bubble enquiry we get is one of these three. Each starts differently, so pick the one that sounds like you.

01New build

Build a new app on Bubble

You have an idea, a spec or a prototype, and you want a real, database-backed product live in weeks rather than after a long custom build.

What we do
Scoping, user flows, data model, design and the build itself, with integrations like payments, maps and AI.
You get
Working software at the end of every two-week sprint, and an app documented well enough that any team could pick it up.
First step
A free scoping call, then a written scope for the first release.

02Fix or audit

Fix, audit or take over an app

Your Bubble app is live or close to it, but it's slow, fragile, expensive to run, or the developer who built it has moved on.

What we do
Review the data model, privacy rules, searches, workflows and workload usage, then fix what's urgent.
You get
A plain-English report of what's sound, what's risky and what it will take, before you commit to any build work.
First step
Read-only access to the Bubble editor so we can look before we quote.

03Support

Ongoing support and backup cover

You built the app yourself or with a freelancer, and now your customers depend on it. You need a team that knows it and can step in.

What we do
Learn the app, document it, and handle fixes, Bubble updates and new features as they come up.
You get
An app that doesn't depend on one person, and a team that already knows it when something breaks.
First step
A handover session where you walk us through the app and its users.

Bubble or custom code?

How Bubble compares with a custom-coded build

We build in both, so we have no reason to push you either way. This is the comparison we walk through in scoping calls.

Bubble.ioCustom code
Time to first releaseA typical MVP in 6 to 10 weeksUsually several months
Who can change itYour team can see and adjust the logic visuallyEvery change needs a developer
Hosting and infrastructureRun by Bubble, included in your planYours to set up, secure and maintain

Best forMarketplaces, SaaS MVPs, portals, internal toolsHeavy computation, very fast response times, full infrastructure control
When you growHeavy jobs move to backend workflows or a small external serviceNo platform ceiling, but every feature costs more to build

Some products start on Bubble and move to custom software once demand is proven. Built with a clean data model, that move can be planned in stages instead of rushed.

Where Bubble fits

What we build on Bubble

Bubble is strongest for web apps with logins, data and workflows that change often as you learn from users.

  • Marketplaces

    Two-sided platforms with listings, bookings and payments between users.

    Usually includesProfiles, search, Stripe Connect payments, reviews, an admin view

    Example: Outclass →
  • SaaS products and MVPs

    A real product in front of paying users while you work out what they value.

    Usually includesSign-up, subscriptions, dashboards, the core workflow

    Example: Elita →
  • Sales and operations platforms

    Tools that replace spreadsheets and email chains with one system your team works in.

    Usually includesRoles and permissions, maps, scheduling, reporting

    Example: Sunivo →
  • Community and member platforms

    Apps where members connect, learn and find services, run by a small team.

    Usually includesMember profiles, messaging, events, content

    Example: Fishburners →

How we work

From first call to a live Bubble app

  1. Week 0

    Free scoping call

    We learn what you're building and who for, and tell you whether Bubble is the right tool.

  2. Week 1

    Written scope

    What goes into the first release, what waits, and what each sprint will deliver.

  3. Every 2 weeks

    Build in sprints

    You see the app working at each sprint review and decide what the next sprint covers.

  4. Launch

    Release and handover

    Live to real users, with notes on the data model and workflows for your team.

  5. After launch

    Support and improve

    Fixes, Bubble updates and new features, or AI features once the basics are proven.

Not sure what to build first? Product strategy is the cheaper first step, and it often saves more than any platform choice.

FAQ

Bubble.io development questions

Can't see yours? Ask us on a free scoping call.

What does a Bubble.io development company do?

It designs, builds and maintains web apps on Bubble.io, a no-code platform, instead of writing them in custom code. That covers the data model, workflows, design, integrations and launch. A good one also fixes and extends apps other people built, and tells you when Bubble is the wrong tool.

How much does Bubble development cost in Australia?

Cost follows scope, so we don't publish a price list. After a free scoping call you get a written scope, and the work runs in two-week sprints that you approve one at a time. Bubble's own plan is a separate monthly cost, and we'll help you estimate it.

How long does it take to build a Bubble app?

A typical MVP takes 6 to 10 weeks. A focused internal tool can be quicker, and bigger platforms are built in stages, with working software at the end of every sprint.

Is Bubble right for my project?

Bubble suits web apps with logins, data and workflows that change often: marketplaces, SaaS products, portals and internal tools. It's a weaker fit for heavy computation, very fast response times, or products that need full control of the infrastructure. We'll tell you in the scoping call, and point you to custom software if that's the better route.

Can Bubble handle a growing number of users?

Yes, for most products, if it's built well. Slowdowns usually come from the data model, heavy searches and front-end workflows rather than Bubble itself. We design for that from the start, and move heavy jobs to backend workflows or a small external service when an app needs it.

Can you fix or take over a Bubble app someone else built?

Yes. We review the app first and give you a plain report of what to keep, what to fix and what to rebuild before you commit to any work. When we took over Strivin's platform we resolved 32 bugs and issues in the first week.

Can Bubble build mobile apps?

Yes. Bubble now builds native iOS and Android apps as well as responsive web apps. Elita's AI pet health app is one we built on Bubble and launched in five weeks.

Do we own the app?

Yes. The Bubble app sits in your own account, and we document how it works so you're never tied to us.
