Giovanni-Group · App & content studio

Apps people open
every day.

The Giovanni brothers design and build apps and digital content for businesses and educational institutes. From the first sketch to the App Store, and the updates after.

Who we build for

Two kinds of clients, one standard of craft.

A faculty and a company have different audiences, but both need software that is clear, fast and kept up to date. We work closely with a small number of clients at a time.

For

Educational institutes

  • Department and faculty apps for students, staff and visitors
  • Course pages, open textbooks and study material
  • Event calendars, research news and lab directories
  • Campus maps with buildings, rooms and parking
For

Businesses

  • Customer-facing apps for iPhone and iPad
  • Internal tools that replace spreadsheets and email chains
  • Home Screen widgets that keep your service in view
  • App Store visuals, product copy and launch content
Services

What we make

We handle design, development and content in-house, so one team owns the whole result.

iPhone & iPad apps

Native apps that feel at home on Apple devices, built for the way your users actually move through their day.

Home Screen widgets

Upcoming events, deadlines or status at a glance, without opening the app.

Maps & wayfinding

Searchable campus and site maps: buildings, labs, parking and charging points.

Digital textbooks & courses

Open, readable course material for phone, tablet and desktop, with search and dark mode.

Events & news feeds

Calendars and news pulled from your existing sources and kept current automatically.

Content & visuals

App Store screenshots, banners, product copy and launch material that match the app.

Case study · Eindhoven University of Technology

TU/eMechE

An app for the Mechanical Engineering department at TU/e. Students, researchers and visitors find people, labs, courses, textbooks, news and events in one place, and see what is coming up straight from their Home Screen.

The Campus screen of TU/eMechE on an iPad: a map of the TU/e campus with numbered building markers such as Vector, Pendulum, Atlas and Auditorium, and blue parking markers P1 to P12.
Campus mapSearch by building name, number, grid or address. Buildings like Atlas, Vector and Pendulum are numbered; parking P1 to P12 shows where EV charging is available.

How we work

From first call to the App Store

Short cycles and working builds you can hold in your hand early, so decisions are made on the real thing.

  1. Listen

    We talk to the people who will use the app and map what they need to find, do and know.

  2. Design

    Clickable screens and content structure, reviewed with you before a line of production code.

  3. Build

    Native development with test builds on your own devices at every milestone.

  4. Launch & care

    Store listing, launch visuals, then updates for new OS versions and new content.

The studio

Two brothers.
One family name on every release.

Giovanni-Group is run by the Giovanni brothers. One of us is always close to the code and the other close to the content, and we both answer the phone.

Because the studio is small, you work directly with the people who design and build your app. Nothing is handed off, and nothing gets lost between a sales team and a dev team.
