DH Website Services

We build apps and websites.

DH Website Services is a small software company in Pontypridd, Wales. We build and run our own apps: Fam & a Half, a free family location app, and Fish Tank, a multiplayer game on both app stores. We also build iPhone and Android apps and websites for businesses, at a fixed price agreed before we start.

Our products

Fam & a Half is a free family and friends location app for iPhone: live map, arrival alerts, SOS and crash detection, pick-up requests and Walk Me Home. It is free on the App Store (dhwebsiteservices.co.uk/famandahalf). Fish Tank is a real-time multiplayer game, live on the App Store and Google Play. We also run our own staff portal and phone system.

What we build

Apps for the App Store and Google Play from £349. Websites from £449. Staff portals with rotas, timesheets, leave and payslips. Our own game, Fish Tank, is live on both stores.

How we work

You deal with the people who build your project: David Hooper, who founded the company and does the development, and Jack Deane, our assistant manager. The price is agreed before anything starts and does not move.

Common questions

How much does an app cost?

£349 puts your website on the App Store and Google Play as a real app with push notifications. £699 adds booking or ordering. From £1,499 for a full build or a game. All prices exclude VAT and are agreed in full before anything starts.

How much does a website cost?

Four fixed packages: £449 for five pages, £999 for ten pages with a blog, £1,499 with e-commerce, and £2,499 including a staff portal. The price is agreed in full before anything starts and does not move.

How long does it take?

Seven days for a website. Apps, staff portals and larger integrations vary too much to put a number on, so we agree a date with you at scoping and stick to it.

Do I own the app or website afterwards?

Yes. You get the source code and the domain stays in your name, so you can take the whole thing to somebody else whenever you want. Nothing here is rented to you.

Who actually does the work?

We do. David Hooper founded the company and does the development; Jack Deane is our assistant manager. There is no account manager and nobody your job gets passed down to.

Do you deal with Apple and Google for us?

Yes. We set up the store listings, write the privacy declarations, submit the builds and deal with the reviewers. Our own game, Fish Tank, is on the App Store and Google Play now.

What does hosting cost?

From £35 a month, kept separate from the build price so you can see what you pay once and what you pay every month. It covers the server, SSL, backups and updates.

Where are you based?

Pontypridd. We meet clients in person across Cardiff and Wales, but most work happens over email and calls, and we price the same wherever you are.
