Local business apps
A real app for your business, built on the island
One of three things we make, alongside consumer apps and games.
Most small shops on Topsail Island do not need a national agency or a six-month discovery process. They need something customers can tap: hours, a menu, a booking link, photos, and a phone number that actually calls the shop.
That is the work. We keep the scope small on purpose so the price stays in reach for a restaurant, rental, charter, boutique, or service that lives here.
A traditional agency still quotes aboutfive to ten monthsfor a custom mobile app. We draft with current AI coding agents, then a person walks every screen before it ships. You can usually hold a working preview in days. A store-ready first version is typically weeks, not a season — which is how more of the extras (photos, specials, a booking link) fit in the first pass instead of a phase two that never happens.
How a local app actually gets made →What you might get
- Your name on the home screen
- Hours, location, tap-to-call, and maps
- Menu, rate sheet, or photo gallery
- A simple booking or inquiry form
- iPhone and Android
How it works
- You write us. We talk through what customers actually need.
- We agree a small, written scope. No surprise features.
- We build for both stores. You review on a phone.
- We submit under Topsail Apps, LLC, or help you with your own listing later.
Who it is for
Independent businesses in Surf City, Topsail Beach, North Topsail Beach, Sneads Ferry, and Holly Ridge. If you already have a Facebook page and a paper menu, you are in the right place.
We do not publish a fake price list. The conversation is free. If the work is bigger than a small app, we will say so.
Topsail Connect, later
Topsail Connect is our island-wide discovery app. When it launches, a business we build for can also be listed there. You do not have to wait for that. A dedicated app for your shop can ship on its own.
