Everything your app needs, in one team
No vendor juggling and no bolt-ons. Every discipline that takes an app from idea to active users, delivered together and tied to outcomes you can measure.

iOS, Android and PWA
Native iOS and Android builds plus progressive web apps, so you reach every user on every device from one codebase strategy.
User interface design
Mobile-friendly, accessible interfaces designed for clarity and conversion, tested with real users before a line of code ships.
Performance and security audits
Threat detection, vulnerability scanning, compliance checks and encryption that protect your users and their data.
Speed and scalability

App development, answered
An app development agency designs, builds, secures and launches mobile and web applications for your business. At Vikilinks we cover the full lifecycle: discovery and strategy, UX and interface design, native iOS and Android development, progressive web apps, security and performance audits, App Store Optimisation, marketing and ongoing maintenance. You get one accountable team from idea to live app, rather than juggling separate designers, developers and marketers.
It depends on the features, platforms and integrations your app needs, so we scope every project against your goals before quoting. Our managed packages start from a tailored fee plus GST per month and include design, development, security and support. After a free consultation we give you a clear, fixed-outcome proposal with milestones, so you know exactly what you are paying for and when each stage is delivered. There are no lock-in surprises.
Both, and we help you choose the right approach for your budget and audience. Native iOS and Android apps deliver the smoothest performance and full device access, while progressive web apps reach users instantly through the browser with no install required. Many clients use a blend, and we design a platform strategy that gets you to market quickly without compromising the experience your users expect.
Security is built in from day one, not bolted on later. We run threat detection, vulnerability scanning, compliance checks and encryption across the build, and we keep monitoring after launch with updates and incident response. Our ongoing maintenance support means your app stays stable and protected as operating systems, devices and security standards change, so you avoid the slow decay that kills neglected apps.
Yes. Building a great app is only half the job, so we drive installs with App Store Optimisation, paid and organic marketing, push notification campaigns and in-app advertising strategy. We optimise your store listings to lift organic discovery, lower your cost per install and improve retention, then report on active users and revenue against a baseline so you can see exactly what your investment is returning.
