Custom App Development
A Tailored App for Your Brand
For publishers seeking complete creative and technical freedom, PageSuite’s Custom App solution offers a fully tailored build designed, developed, and optimised specifically for your brand. Unlike a platform app, every aspect of your Custom App is engineered to your requirements – from UX and design to integrations, monetisation, and content workflows.
Working in close partnership with your product and editorial teams, we create an app that not only meets your expectations but also redefines what’s possible for your readers and business.
Why Choose a Custom App?
Our Custom App solution is ideal for large publishing groups that need a distinctive app that goes beyond the limitations of template-based platforms. It’s designed for innovation, for teams who want to experiment, differentiate, and deliver best-in-class digital experiences that reflect their brand DNA.
We’ve built fully bespoke solutions for some of the most respected publishers worldwide – including Newsday, whose custom app delivers a premium multimedia experience with enhanced video storytelling, intuitive navigation, and tailored reader engagement tools.

What our clients say
We’re proud to work with publishers and brands who trust us to deliver results. Here’s what some of our clients have to say about their experience working with us.
We chose PageSuite to develop the upgrade to our FLIPP apps after reviewing several European companies. We valued the features and roadmap of PageSuite’s platform. In addition, PageSuite was very positive about co-developing a comprehensive API solution for the communication between the app and backend.

FAQs
What is included in a Custom App, and how does it differ from your standard native app offering?
A Custom App gives you all the core functionality of our standard Native App, but with far greater flexibility, deeper integration options, and a higher level of visual and functional customisation. While the standard app provides a fast, reliable, best-practice experience out of the box, a Custom App is ideal for publishers who want a solution tailored to their brand, workflows, and audience needs.
Can a custom app integrate with our existing systems, such as paywalls, subs databases or CMS platforms?
Yes, a Custom App is designed specifically to integrate with your existing systems. One of the key advantages of choosing a Custom App is the ability to connect seamlessly with the tools and platforms already powering your digital ecosystem.
How long does it take to design, build, and launch a Custom App?
A Custom App typically takes around 3 to 6 months to design, build, and launch. The exact timeline depends on the scope and complexity of your requirements – including the level of UI customisation, the features you wish to include, and any bespoke integrations with your existing systems.
What level of ongoing support, updates, and maintenance do you provide after launch?
We provide 24/7 support, continuous updates, and ongoing maintenance to keep your Custom App running smoothly and fully compatible with evolving platform requirements. You’ll also have direct access to a dedicated Customer Success Manager (CSM), offering ongoing guidance alongside regular enhancements and proactive support from our team.
