Agency accountability, without the agency.
Wichett App Studio is run by Daniel Wichett, a London developer who has spent 17 years building apps for clients, first as evilrockhopper Limited and now as Wichett App Studio.
In that time the work has ranged from a licensed TV quiz game to software that racing regulators rely on at the track, from Objective-C through to Swift 6, Kotlin and Next.js. Daniel has always run it as a small agency rather than a contractor: several clients at once, each on a fixed-price project with a clear end point.
The result is a studio that takes responsibility for the outcome, not just the hours.
No account managers
The person you talk to is the person building it, so nothing gets lost between a sales call and a sprint.
A handful of clients at a time
Enough variety to keep learning, few enough that each project gets proper attention.
Priced by the project
Fixed-price contracts, so you can budget for the job and not for a stream of invoices.
Here for the long run
Kim French and Event Log have both been working with the studio for years.
