What is Dunestack?
Dunestack is an independent app studio based in Abu Dhabi, UAE. It builds simple, useful apps for real, everyday problems — starting from a person and a problem rather than a feature list.
Who runs Dunestack?
Dunestack is run by Abel Kalavadakken James, an engineer based in Abu Dhabi. It is a small, founder-led studio, so the person you talk to is the person who builds your app. More on the about page.
Where is Dunestack based?
Dunestack is based in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, and works with people and businesses across the Emirates.
What kind of apps does Dunestack build?
Dunestack builds custom web and mobile apps, MVPs and prototypes, and simple internal tools such as dashboards, booking flows, and portals. The focus is the least software that fully solves a real problem. See the services page for the full picture.
Does Dunestack take on client projects?
Yes. Dunestack takes on a small number of projects at a time so each one is built properly, end to end. It works best with founders, small businesses, and teams who have a clear problem to solve.
How much does it cost to build an app with Dunestack?
Cost depends on the problem and the smallest version that solves it. Because Dunestack scopes the simplest workable version first, most projects start smaller and cheaper than expected. The best next step is to email a short description of what you need for an estimate.
How long does it take to build an app?
A focused MVP can often be ready in a few weeks rather than months, because the first version is deliberately kept small. Larger or more complex apps take longer, but they still ship in usable stages rather than all at once.
