Eazi-Apps : Peter Barker on Building Apps for Local Clients With Eazi-Apps

In this interview, Peter Barker describes moving into the Eazi-Apps network after spending twelve to fifteen years running a corporate events business. He explains that he wanted something straightforward with the least friction to get up and running quickly, and that the collateral provided through the marketing suite and the partner sessions was exactly what appealed to him. He was clear he did not want to start a business from scratch and simply be thrown in at the deep end. Peter shares a varied portfolio of recent projects. He has been building an app and website for a local cricket club in St Albans, helped a delicatessen set up online ordering for sandwich deliveries, and created a community app called the Harpenden guide that has doubled as a useful marketing tool for his own business. He is candid about pricing, explaining that website builds start from around five hundred pounds upwards with an ongoing monthly hosting cost, while apps range from progressive web apps at the lower end up to native apps costing a couple of thousand pounds. This gives viewers a practical sense of the commercial side of the work. Peter finishes by praising the flexibility the platform affords, noting that with an internet connection he can grow the business from anywhere in the world. He calls it a genuine business-in-a-box opportunity. The clip is a useful, grounded look at the day-to-day reality of running an Eazi-Apps franchise.
