Custom software development: web, mobile and desktop
OVERLORD Team LTD is a UK custom software development company. We build web, mobile and desktop software to a written brief, and you keep the repository. Android apps start from $500, iOS and desktop software from $1,000, and web applications and APIs are quoted after scope.
What you get
OVERLORD Team LTD is a UK shop that builds software to a written brief. The brief names the product: a web application, a mobile client, a desktop tool, or the API that ties them together. We do not start from a theme pack.
You get a scope, a running build you can click, and a repository you own. We pick the language from the work, not from a house default. Python, Go, Java, Kotlin, Swift, PHP, C#/.NET, Node, Rust, and C/C++ are already in use here. After launch we can stay for fixes or hand over with notes your next hire can read.
If the brief is still fuzzy, we run a short architecture pass first. Paying for weeks of the wrong thing is a bad habit we try not to sell.
What we build
Web applications and APIs you own, not a rented dashboard
Native Android and iOS, or Flutter when one codebase is enough
Desktop software for Windows, Linux, or macOS, plus firmware when the brief needs it
REST or GraphQL so other systems can talk to the new one
SQL or document stores chosen for the query shape
Deploy on AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, or a server you already pay for
Languages and platforms
Languages: Python, Go, Java, Kotlin, Swift, PHP, C#/.NET, Node.js, Rust, C/C++
Web: React, TypeScript, Laravel, Spring, FastAPI, Express — plus WordPress or Shopify when the job is a CMS
Mobile: Kotlin, Swift, Flutter, React Native
Desktop and embedded: Qt, Electron, Kivy
Data: PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis, ClickHouse
The stack follows the brief. We will say if a language is a poor fit.
How a build runs
Written scope before the first sprint, with out-of-scope named
A running URL or build you can click every fortnight
Tests on the parts that break when they move
Deployment notes so your team can ship without us in the room
Optional retain after launch for bugs and small changes
Desktop software development
Desktop software is a normal part of the work here, not an afterthought. We build for Windows, Linux and macOS, plus firmware when the brief needs it, using tools such as Qt, Electron or Kivy depending on the job. Desktop and embedded builds start from $1,000, and the quote follows the written scope.
Starting Prices
Starting prices in USD. The quote follows the written scope.

How much does custom software development cost?
Android apps start from $500, and iOS apps and desktop or embedded software start from $1,000. Web applications and APIs are quoted after a written scope, because the price follows the brief. These are starting prices, not a quote.
Do I keep the code?
Yes. You get a written scope, a running build you can click, and a repository you keep. We also leave deployment notes so your team can ship without us in the room.
How does a build run?
It starts with a written scope that names what is out of scope. Then you get a running URL or build to click every fortnight, tests on the parts that break when they move, and deployment notes at the end. If the brief is fuzzy, we run a short architecture pass first.
Do you build desktop applications?
Yes. We build desktop software for Windows, Linux and macOS, plus firmware when the brief needs it. Qt, Electron and Kivy are among the tools we use, and desktop and embedded builds start from $1,000.
Which programming languages do you use?
The language follows the brief. Python, Go, Java, Kotlin, Swift, PHP, C#/.NET, Node.js, Rust and C/C++ are all in use here, and we will say if a language is a poor fit for the job.
Do you work with UK startups?
Yes. OVERLORD Team LTD is a UK firm and takes clients worldwide. For a first release or MVP, see our startup technical partnership, where the first version is built to a written scope.
