Mobile App and Custom Software Development in Kolkata
Have an idea for an app, or a business task that eats up your team's time? Art Story Originals plans and develops Android apps, iPhone apps, cross-platform apps and web-based business software for clients in Kolkata, the rest of India and other countries.
Everything happens remotely, by phone, WhatsApp and video call, so there is no need to travel to meet us. The first consultation, where we talk through your idea, is free. Each project is then priced on its own, based on what you need.
What we build
Android apps, for phones and tablets that run Android.
iPhone (iOS) apps, for customers who use Apple phones.
Cross-platform apps: one app that runs on both Android and iPhone.
Web apps and business software, such as dashboards and tools that open in a web browser.
Whether it is for your customers or your staff, we start with the problem, not the technology.
Android, iPhone or both?
It depends on who your users are.
Android only
A sensible choice when most of your customers use Android phones, or when you want to start on one platform and learn from real users first.
iPhone only
Can suit a business whose customers mostly use iPhones.
Cross-platform (both)
Written once, it runs on both Android and iPhone, using frameworks such as Flutter or React Native. It is a practical way to reach both groups, with one codebase to look after. If a feature works better built separately for each platform, we will tell you plainly.
Web apps and business software
Not every problem needs a phone app. Sometimes the right answer is a web app: software that runs in a browser on a computer, tablet or phone, with nothing to install. We build business software such as:
Dashboards that show your sales, orders, stock or bookings in one place.
Tools that help your team record, track and update everyday work.
Simple systems that replace scattered spreadsheets and paper registers.
Rather than making your business fit ready-made software, we build around the way you already work: your steps, your forms and your reports.
Design before code
Changing a design is far easier than changing finished code, so we work out how the app will look and work before building it.
That covers the UI (user interface: what each screen looks like) and the UX (user experience: how a person moves from one screen to the next). You review the main screens and tell us what to change. This is the stage to ask questions, try ideas and change your mind.
How an app project runs
Free consultation: a call, video call or WhatsApp chat about your idea, your users and your goals.
Scope and quote: we write down what will be built and send you a quote. Nothing starts until you agree.
Design: you review the screens and share feedback.
Build and testing: we develop and test the app or software, and keep you updated over WhatsApp and video calls.
Launch: we publish your app on Google Play and the App Store, or put your web app live.
Telling people about your app
An app nobody hears about will not get used. As we are also a digital marketing and advertising agency, we can help with SEO, Google ads, Meta (Facebook and Instagram) ads, social media posts and reels, and WhatsApp marketing. Any ad budget is agreed with you before a campaign starts.

Frequently asked questions
Should I build for Android or iPhone first?
Start where most of your users are. If you want to reach both, a cross-platform app may suit you. We can talk it through in the free consultation.
Do I need a phone app or a web app?
If people will use it on the go, or you want it in the app stores, a phone app may fit. If your team mostly works at a computer, or you want nothing to install, a web app is often simpler. We will help you choose.
How is the cost of an app decided?
Each app is quoted on its own. The cost depends on how many screens and features it has, and whether you want Android, iPhone or both. You get the quote after the free consultation.
Do you publish the app on Google Play and the App Store?
Yes. When your app is ready, we publish it on Google Play and the App Store for you.
Can you add features later?
Yes. Many apps start with the core features and grow over time. When you are ready for something new, we talk it through and quote for that work before we begin.
Can you build a website for my business too?
Yes. We make WordPress, custom-coded and e-commerce websites as well. See website design and development.
