Services by Progress Akande
App development turns a defined business process into a usable product for customers or internal teams. Progress Akande builds with Lovable, React, PostgreSQL, Supabase and Stripe for startups, founders and service businesses that need an MVP, dashboard or customer application with authentication, structured data, payments and scoped integrations.

The scope
A useful MVP is not a full product with random pieces removed. It is a complete version of one important user journey. We define who uses the application, what they need to accomplish and what information they should see at each step. That definition guides the interface and prevents the feature list from becoming the product strategy.
Customer apps and internal tools have different priorities. A customer may need a simple account area and a clear next action; an operations team may need dense records, filters and reliable updates. I design for the task and audience rather than applying the same layout to both. Dashboard summaries must lead back to records a user can inspect and act on.
Authentication is more than a login screen. We map how a user enters the product, recovers access and leaves a session. Permissions determine which records each person can view or change. A working interface should not imply access that the underlying data rules do not allow. Those rules are specified alongside the feature itself.
PostgreSQL and Supabase can support the structured records behind an application. The database design follows the entities and relationships in your process. Validation should reject incomplete or inconsistent input rather than storing whatever the interface sends. Existing data imports need their own review, including ownership, duplicates and the meaning of older records.
A Stripe integration needs to account for more than a successful checkout. The app must handle interrupted payment, failed attempts and repeated event delivery. We decide when access changes and how a user sees the payment state. Payment events are verified before they affect a record or grant a capability.
The scope identifies which payment behavior the product needs and which administrative tasks remain outside the app. I avoid treating an interface message as evidence that money was received. Testing follows the actual payment state and the application’s corresponding record. Where refunds or account changes are required, their workflow must be defined rather than left to assumption.
CRM and automation connections are mapped around a source of truth. The app may create a lead, update a status or trigger a follow-up, but the direction and ownership of those actions must be clear. If two systems can edit the same field, we agree which one takes precedence and how conflicts are surfaced.
Web and mobile requirements are discussed separately because devices and delivery methods affect the scope. A responsive web application is not automatically a native mobile release. We agree the intended environment, publishing responsibilities and testing needs before work starts. You receive a quote and timeline tied to that specific product boundary.
At handover, account ownership remains with you and project access is returned. Documentation covers the routine operations the business must understand, along with known dependencies and extension points. The aim is a product you can evaluate and operate, not a set of impressive screens that leaves its important behavior unexplained.
The Growth Engine
We identify the job the app must do and the users who need it. I examine the current process and separate essential product behavior from optional features.
We define the first usable version and how users should understand its value. A clear product boundary helps avoid a confusing app that tries to solve everything at once.
I build the interfaces, authentication and data flows around the agreed journeys. You review working behavior rather than approving isolated screens with no connection behind them.
Payments and integrations are tested with failure and repeat-event cases. The handover explains operational responsibilities and what can be extended in a later scope.
Client experience
Akande delivered excellent work on my project, and I enjoyed working with him. He brought a high level of expertise and professionalism to the table, consistently delivering quality work on time. What really stood out to me was his clear communication and ability to offer thoughtful suggestions that helped improve my page in ways I hadn't considered.
Yes. We define a focused first version around a complete user journey. The quote describes the essential features and what remains outside that version.
Yes, including interfaces for structured records and operational tasks. User access and data ownership are specified with the workflow. The design is tailored to the team using it.
Yes, within an agreed payment scope. Success, failure and repeated events are tested against the application’s records. Access changes depend on verified payment state rather than a browser message alone.
Yes, where the systems support the required integration. We define the source of truth and the fields each system may update. Permissions and available access are reviewed before the connection is promised.
Each project is scoped and quoted before work starts. Web and mobile delivery requirements are discussed explicitly, with a timeline in the quote. A responsive website is not described as a native app release.
Your next step
Every project is scoped and quoted before work starts. Your quote includes the timeline and required inputs.
Based in Nigeria, Progress works remotely with founders and service businesses in the US, UK, Canada, Australia and the UAE. You work directly with the person building your project, with scope, quote and timeline agreed before work starts.
