What We Do

We help you build your complete mobile presence.

  • Culture of Excellence

    WillowTree Apps is one of the largest and most respected mobile development companies in the US. Our entire 25+ person team (many pictured above) is located in our Charlottesville, VA headquarters. Nothing is outsourced overseas. Our open office environment is designed to facilitate collaboration both among our teams (e.g. a developer walking over to the design team for a clarification or a design tweak) and within each team (e.g. a senior iOS team member pair programming with a junior member).

  • Premier User Experience Design

    Our designers are second to none — with expertise across the nuances of iPhone, iPad, Android, Windows Phone 7, Blackberry and mobile web/HTML5 design best practices. Our team members are frequent speakers at mobile design conferences.

  • Native and Mobile Web Application Development

    We believe in agile development, and our projects are managed via daily standups and weekly meetings. The development team is divided into iOS (Objective C and Cocoa Touch), Android/Blackberry (Java), Windows Phone 7 and Mobile Web/Back-end (HTML5, CSS3, jQuery Mobile, etc.) teams.

  • Thorough Four-Step QA Process

    The QA team uses industry best practices and our four-step process to ensure our mobile apps and mobile sites operate error-free the first time they are shipped.
