What we build

If it can be built, we'll build it.

Off-the-shelf software rarely fits perfectly. Bespoke app development means a build that does exactly what you need, and nothing you don't.

📱
Custom Apps & Web Apps
Full applications built from scratch, for your customers or your team. Web-based, mobile-friendly, and yours.
🤖
AI Tools & Assistants
AI that does the heavy lifting. Drafting, sorting, summarising, shortlisting, answering. Trained on your world.
🔗
Automations & Integrations
Connect the tools you already use and let the repetitive work run itself. Fewer spreadsheets, fewer mistakes.
📊
Internal Tools & Dashboards
Quoting tools, trackers, admin panels, reporting dashboards. The unglamorous software that saves real hours.
🚪
Customer Portals
A branded space for your clients to log in, see their information, and self-serve, taking pressure off your inbox.
MVPs & Prototypes
Got an idea to test? We build a working first version fast, so you can put it in front of real people.

Need something more defined? We also build AI chatbots, business automations and AI websites.

We've also delivered private builds for individual clients. Those stay confidential, but we're happy to talk through what's possible on a call.

How it works

Simple from idea to launch.

No technical knowledge needed from you. We handle the build, you stay in the loop.

01
Conversation
Tell us what you're trying to do. We listen, ask the right questions, and figure out if we're a good fit. No charge, no pressure.
02
Scope & Quote
We map out exactly what gets built and give you a clear, fixed price. Every build is bespoke, so the price is too.
03
We Build
We get to work and keep you updated in plain English. You see progress and give feedback as we go.
04
Launch & Support
We get it live, make sure it works, and stay on hand. Ongoing support means it keeps working as your business grows.
Why Marvanova

Built by someone who gets it.

Marvanova was founded by Marvin, who came up through the trades and property maintenance before building AI tools full time. You deal with the person who builds your software, not a sales team.

Founder-ledYou talk to the person actually building it. No account managers, no telephone tag.
Plain EnglishNo jargon, no buzzwords. We explain what we're building and why, in language that makes sense.
It's yoursWe build it for you and your business. You're not renting access to something you'll never control.
Supported, not abandonedWe don't disappear at launch. Ongoing support keeps your build running as things change.

Questions

Good to know.

Custom apps, AI tools and assistants, internal tools and dashboards, automations, customer portals, and prototypes. If it runs on software and solves a real problem, it's worth a conversation. If it's not something we can do well, we'll tell you honestly.

Every build is different, so there's no fixed price list. We start with a conversation about what you need, then scope it out and give you a clear, fixed quote before any work begins. No surprises.

It depends on the size of the build. A simple tool or prototype can be ready in a couple of weeks; a full app takes longer. We give you a realistic timeline as part of the quote, and keep you updated throughout.

Not at all. Most of our clients aren't technical. We handle the technical side and explain everything in plain English. Your job is to know your business; ours is to build the software.

No. We build for businesses and individuals alike. Whether you're a company that needs an internal tool or a person with an app idea, we're happy to talk.

Marvanova is based in Dunton Green, Sevenoaks, Kent, and we work with clients across the UK. Everything can be handled remotely, so location is no barrier.
