Custom apps for membership-driven businesses
We build premium custom apps for established brands that want to increase revenue, improve member engagement, and offer experiences generic platforms cannot.
For established businesses with an active membership, community, or loyal customer base.

What your app should do for the business
You have already done the difficult part: building a business people care about. A custom app gives your members more reasons to engage, spend, return, and stay connected to your brand.
Create more opportunities for members to buy, upgrade, and participate without sending them across disconnected platforms. Sell products, event tickets, subscriptions, premium content, and exclusive offers directly through the app.
Stay present between purchases, events, or membership renewals. Give members one place to discover new content, receive important updates, and return to the experiences they already value.
Make the value of the membership easy to access. Bring content, bookings, benefits, and member information into one clear product instead of spreading the experience across emails, websites, and separate tools.
Put your brand on your members’ phones with an experience that feels premium, distinctive, and fully yours. Offer functionality designed specifically around your company rather than the limits of a generic platform.
Built around the way your business works
Your members should not need to move between websites, emails, payment tools, event platforms, and social channels to access what they are paying for. A custom app brings the experience together while adapting to the specific rules and opportunities of your business.
Create membership tiers, subscriptions, gated content, loyalty status, digital cards, and custom access rules around the way your business actually operates.
Give your videos, articles, news, and live sessions a proper home, then bring members back with timely and relevant notifications.
Let members discover, reserve, purchase, and attend experiences through one booking flow designed around your events.
Create more opportunities for members to buy, upgrade, and use the value included in their membership.
Selected work
A closer look at how we turn established businesses, engaged audiences, and unique membership models into custom digital products.
A custom membership app for ADN de México that turned live historical journeys and a growing video archive into a scalable product for members, discovery, and B2B access.
A production mobile platform that brings together festivals, media, membership, commerce, and customer identity in one cohesive Jackalope experience.
Why custom
Generic platforms are built for common use cases. That works until your membership has its own access rules, content model, events, benefits, branding, or commercial logic. A custom app is built around the way your business already works and where it wants to go next.
Generic platform
Fixed features, standard user journeys, limited branding, and rules defined by the platform.
Custom app
A connected member experience shaped around your content, events, revenue model, access rules, and brand.
01
The rules and experiences that make your membership different should become part of the product, not obstacles removed to fit a template.
02
Bring memberships, content, events, commerce, benefits, and communication together under one identity and one branded experience.
03
Create the right foundation now, then expand it as the business introduces new offers, member types, markets, or revenue models.
ADN de México
A generic video platform could host recordings. It would not naturally combine public previews, paid historical journeys, live Zoom access, notifications, charity content, and future B2B access in one experience.

A standard ticketing platform could sell tickets. It would not create the full discovery and booking experience around curated events, organizers, and the company’s specific member journey.

Jackalope
A generic event app could show a schedule. It would not become a year-round branded home for an action-sports audience with connected content, events, and commercial experiences.

How we work
You do not need a finished feature list, technical specification, or complete product plan. We start by understanding how your business works, what your members value, and where an app could create the most impact.
01
We begin with the membership model, not the feature list. Together, we look at how the business creates value, how members behave today, and where the current experience is limiting growth.
02
We translate the business into a clear product direction, prioritize the highest-value opportunities, and define the smallest version that can make a meaningful difference.
The goal is not to build everything. It is to build the right foundation.
03
We turn the product direction into a polished member experience, then build the app, backend, integrations, and administration needed to make it work reliably.
The same person who helps shape the product stays involved while it is being built.
04
After launch, we improve the product around real member behavior, business feedback, and new opportunities. The app can evolve as the membership, audience, and revenue model grow.
No prepared specification required. We can start with how the business works today.
Founder-led
From the first conversation to product decisions and delivery, you work directly with me. There is no handoff between sales, strategy, and development teams, so the business context stays connected to the product throughout the project.
01
You should not have to explain your business again every time the project moves into a new phase. I stay involved from discovery through design, development, launch, and future improvements.
02
I help shape the product, challenge the scope when needed, and stay close to the implementation. The decisions made during discovery are carried into the software rather than handed off as a document.
03
When an important product or technical decision comes up, you speak directly with the person responsible for it. That keeps communication clear and helps the project move faster.
Most clients come to me with a business opportunity or problem, not a finished product specification. My role is to understand how the business works, help decide what should be built, and stay responsible for turning those decisions into a product that works.
Who this is for
A custom app works best when there is already a real audience, a proven offer, and an existing relationship worth strengthening. The app does not create demand from nothing. It helps a successful business deliver more value, unlock new revenue opportunities, and build a stronger member experience.
The app should amplify a business that already works. It should not be responsible for proving the business exists.
01
You already have an operating company, a clear offer, and customers who understand its value.
02
People already subscribe, attend, purchase, return, or actively participate in what you offer.
03
You are looking to improve and scale something that already works, not use software to test whether demand exists.
04
The member experience is fragmented, difficult to manage, or restricted by generic platforms and disconnected tools.
05
Your business has unique rules, benefits, experiences, access logic, or commercial opportunities that standard software cannot support well.
01
Without existing demand, distribution is likely to be the real challenge rather than the software itself.
02
It is usually better to prove that people will pay, attend, subscribe, or engage before investing in custom software.
03
If standard content, community, subscription, loyalty, or ticketing tools already cover the requirements, custom development may be unnecessary.
04
If the requested features are based mainly on assumptions rather than real member behavior or operational needs, a simpler test may be the better first step.
Already have the audience, offer, and business model?
Then the next question is what the app could make possible.
