Product studio · est. 2021 · open for work
Your idea, engineered into a shipped product.
We design, build and ship digital products. Design, engineering, app-store launch and the search visibility that follows — from a studio that has taken its own four apps through every one of those stages.
00 What we are
Digital Services is a digital product studio founded in 2021. We take an idea from first sketch to live product across four stages — design, build, launch and market — for mobile apps, web applications and the systems behind them. Four apps of our own are live on the Apple App Store, Google Play and Huawei AppGallery, in up to seven languages.
We are not a template shop and not an agency that subcontracts the hard part. The people who design your screens are the people who ship your binary and answer the store reviewer's email.

What does Digital Services do?
Digital Services is a product studio that takes a digital idea from concept to a live product. We cover four stages — design, build, launch and marketing — for mobile apps, web applications and digital products. Founded in 2021, the studio has shipped four of its own apps across the App Store, Google Play and Huawei AppGallery.
What kind of products do you build?
Mobile apps and the web products around them. Our own catalogue covers a local marketplace (Bazarly), a grocery and budgeting app, a notes and task app, and a planning tool for founders — so consumer apps with accounts, sync, offline data and store distribution are the shape of work we know best. We also build web applications, APIs and marketing sites.
Do you work with people who only have an idea?
Yes — that is the usual starting point. You do not need a spec, wireframes or a technical co-founder. You need to be able to describe the problem and who has it. The scoping stage exists to turn that into something buildable, and a good part of it is deciding what not to build first.
Which platforms do you publish to?
Apple App Store, Google Play and Huawei AppGallery. All four of our own apps are live on all three, which matters if your audience is in a market where Huawei devices are common and Google services are not.
Can you build a multilingual app?
Yes. Grocery List — Smart ships in seven languages, Entrepreneurs Business Ideas in six, and Bazarly in six including Arabic, which means right-to-left layout as well as translation. Localisation is a design and engineering decision made early, not a translation pass bolted on at the end.
How long does it take to build an app?
It depends on scope, and anyone quoting a number before scoping is guessing. What we can say is what drives the number: how many user roles, whether it needs accounts and sync, whether it works offline, how many third-party integrations, and how many platforms and languages at launch. Scoping produces a range you can plan against.
