You have designed the screens, with ChatGPT, Figma, Canva, an AI prototype tool or on paper, and now you need someone to build a real app from them. That is what we do.
We go through your screens with you, work out what they do not show, such as who logs in, where the data goes and what happens when something fails, then quote a fixed price and build it as a web app, a phone app or both.
HELLO PEOPLE is Perth-based and works with businesses in Perth, Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and across Australia. The source code is handed over in your name.
Built here. Your data stays here.
Most people who call us have already done a lot of the thinking. Pick the tab closest to what you have, and see how we take it from there.
Screenshots, image files or the conversation itself. We go through every screen with you and turn each one into a list of what it has to do, who uses it and where its data comes from.
AI tools are good at drawing a screen. They do not decide what happens when a customer cancels, who is allowed to approve a job, or how the numbers reach your accounting system. That is the part we work out with you before anything is built.
Send us the link or the export. If your designer has set up the layouts and styles, we build to them closely, so the finished app looks like the design you approved.
If some screens are missing, such as sign in, settings, empty lists or error messages, we draw those to match your style and show you before we build them.
Many people now get a long way on their own with an AI app builder, then hit a wall: logins that are not secure, data that disappears, or a payment step that never quite works.
We review what you have, keep what is sound, and rebuild the rest properly, so you are not starting again from nothing.
Low code and no code app upgradesIf your business already runs on an app you built, the screens and the way people use them are the design. We turn it into software you own, that more people can use at once and that can be sold to others if you want to.
We have done this for a pool maintenance business that built its first version in AppSheet and a safety consultant who started in Replit.
Software conversion and rebuildsYou do not need polished designs. A photo of a whiteboard, a few slides or a page describing how the app should work is enough to start the conversation.
We sketch the main screens with you first, agree them, then quote the build.
No hourly billing and no vague estimates. You get a fixed price once the gaps in the designs are filled in.
Send us your screens before the call. We go through them with you and give you a straight answer on what is involved and whether we are the right team to build it.
Once the gaps in the designs are filled in, you get a fixed price for the build. No hourly billing, and you know the cost before any building starts.
The app is built in stages. You use real working screens every few weeks, give feedback as we go, and pay against what has been delivered.
A Perth safety consultant designed and built a site inspection app in Replit. We reviewed it, kept what worked, rebuilt the data model and launched it as a platform other businesses pay to use.
Read the full case studyDesigns show what the app looks like. These four things decide whether it works for a real business, so we settle them with you before the build is quoted.
A screen shows one person using the app. A real business has customers, staff, managers and perhaps suppliers, each allowed to see different things.
We write down every type of user and what they are allowed to do before building, because changing this later touches every screen.
Designs show numbers and names, but not where they come from. Does a new job come from your website, your phone or your accounting system? Does an invoice need to reach Xero or MYOB?
We map the data first, then connect the app to the systems you already use, so nobody types the same thing twice.
IntegrationsAI designed screens almost always show the ideal case: a full list, a successful payment, a happy customer. Real apps also need to handle a failed card, a lost connection on site, or a list with nothing in it yet.
We list those cases screen by screen and agree how each one should behave.
Many designs look like a phone app, but a web app that works well on a phone is often quicker to build and does not need app store approval.
We tell you plainly which suits your users. If you need it in the Apple and Google app stores, we build that too.
Mobile app developmentMeet the person
Your App development, handled by the founder from start to end.
HELLO PEOPLE designs, builds and looks after AI, software, app and data solutions for Australian businesses, with senior expertise on every project and a scope agreed before work starts. For software, that means starting with how your business runs, not with the code.
Since 2007, HELLO PEOPLE has delivered more than 100 projects from Perth for small and medium businesses across Australia: custom software and apps, system integrations, data migrations, reporting and dashboards, and AI that works inside the systems a business already runs.
I lead every engagement myself. I trained in accounting before moving into IT, hold accounting and IT professional qualifications and an MBA, and bring more than 20 years of experience across sales, service delivery, inventory and compliance. I am also a PhD candidate in AI at Curtin University, researching retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), so the technology is always judged by what it does for the business.
Small and boutique. The person who scopes your software is the person who builds it, and the same person is there on launch day.
No ticket queue and no account manager in between. You hear back within one business day, usually sooner.
The first release is the start, not the end. When you need the next system, integration or report, you call the same person, who already knows your business.
Six steps, the same every time. You see working screens early and know the price before any building starts.
Screenshots, a Figma or Canva link, the ChatGPT conversation, a prototype link or photos of sketches. Any format is fine.
A short call where you explain how the app should be used. We ask the questions the screens do not answer.
We write up the users, the data, the missing screens and the unusual cases, and draw anything that is missing in your style.
You get one price for the build, broken into stages, with what each stage delivers.
Working screens every few weeks, connected to real data, so you see the app take shape rather than waiting for a big reveal.
Testing, launch, and the source code and accounts handed over in your name. We stay on for support if you want us to.
Yes. Send us the screenshots or the conversation. We go through each screen with you, work out what it needs to do behind the scenes, fill in any missing screens, and give you a fixed price to build it as a web app, a phone app or both.
Any format. Screenshots, image files, a Figma, Canva or Adobe XD link, a prototype link from Lovable, Bolt, v0 or Replit, PowerPoint slides, or photos of hand sketches all work. Polished designs are not required.
Yes, as closely as the designs allow. Where a design would be hard to use on a small screen or would not work for people using accessibility tools, we point it out and suggest a change before building, so there are no surprises.
Usually four things: who is allowed to see and change what, where the data comes from and where it needs to go, what happens when something goes wrong such as a failed payment, and the plain screens nobody draws such as sign in, settings and empty lists. We work these out with you before quoting.
It depends on how many screens, how many types of user and which systems the app connects to, so a general figure would mislead. After a free 15-minute call and a review of your designs, you get a fixed price for the whole build. There is no hourly billing.
A focused app, such as a booking app, a customer portal or a job app for field staff, usually takes 8 to 16 weeks. Larger apps with many user types and connections to other systems are built in stages, so you are using parts of it well before the end.
Yes. The source code, designs, database and hosting accounts are handed over in your name. There is no licence fee and you are free to move to another developer later.
HELLO PEOPLE is a software and AI company founded in Perth in 2007 by Kasun Wijayamanna. We build apps, portals and integrations for businesses in Perth, Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and across Australia, and you deal directly with the founder.
