You build an app for your small business by defining the job it must win, sketching the core screens, choosing buy-vs-build, then shipping a focused MVP with a partner who will maintain it. You do not need to learn to code — you need to own the problem.
Your checklist
- Write the weekly job in one paragraph
- List must-have screens (keep it under 10)
- Decide platforms (start with 1–2)
- Pick a studio or stack with a real budget
- Launch, measure, then expand
