App Development: web apps for SMEs that work day to day.
Clients book, staff record, partners see their status: when a website is no longer enough for that, you need a web app. matd ag develops web apps and apps for SMEs that run on phones and computers.
Development happens in Rickenbach TG, for SMEs in Eastern Switzerland and all of German-speaking Switzerland.
Who it is for
For SMEs and sole traders whose website has reached its limits.
Typically businesses that want clients, staff or partners to work directly in the browser or on their phone instead of collecting forms by email.
- SMEs with a client portal, booking or order entry
- Sole traders with an app idea for their trade
- Businesses that want to renew an existing app

Typical problems
When the website is no longer enough.
The website shows, but it doesn't work
Forms by email, lists by hand, no sign-in for clients: every enquiry needs a person to type it up.
App Store or web?
Not every app has to be in the App Store. Often a web app that feels like an app on the phone is enough, and easier to maintain.
Security and maintenance
An app needs updates, security fixes and operations. Without planning for that, you have a construction site after a year.
Approach
Four steps.
As a sprint, ongoing support or interim technical leadership: the ways of working together are on the engagement models page.
- 01
Initial call
You describe who uses the app and what for. We decide between web app and store app.
- 02
Clickable draft
Screens and flows as a draft you can click through before any code is written.
- 03
Development
Built with proven web technology (Next.js, React, Supabase), in short stages with you as tester.
- 04
Launch and operations
Release, monitoring, security updates and further development based on what users actually need.

sprichmal.ch case study (German)Frequently asked
What SMEs want to know before the first call.
Web app or App Store app?
For most SME applications a web app is enough: one address, all devices, no approval by Apple or Google. A store app is worth it when phone features or visibility in the store matter.
What does it cost to have an app developed?
It depends on scope and platform. After the initial call you receive an estimate; the article below explains what drives the cost, and the ways of working together are on the engagement models page.
Which technology do you use?
Next.js and React for the interface, Supabase for data and sign-in, run on servers in Frankfurt. Proven technology that other developers can take over too.
Can I change content myself?
Yes, if the app has an admin interface for it. What you want to maintain yourself is defined in the draft.
Who takes care of it after launch?
On request matd ag: operations, security updates and further development. You can also hand the app over to your own team.
