A practical guide

Independent ideas. Practical digital experiences.

Explore Bay Area Apps projects, custom development services, and the right way to contact each business.

What we build

Bay Area Apps creates independent apps and websites and accepts inquiries for custom iPhone apps, business websites, interface prototypes, client systems, calculators, shortcuts, and maintenance. Explore our project catalog or development services. Our own projects are labeled separately from client work, and development previews are not presented as downloadable releases.

To hire the studio, send a free project inquiry. We review the scope before quoting a price or requesting a deposit. Your private client page keeps the proposal, project messages, and agreed next steps together. To book catering, go directly to Street Flames Catering.

Bay Area Apps LLC is an independent Bay Area app studio. Paws & Whiskers Help Line is available for everyday pet-care support. The Paws & Whiskers Visits website is temporarily unavailable. The business owner uses a private app to manage the work.

Customers use the websites in their browser. You do not need the owner’s iPhone or Mac app, an App Store download, or a developer account. The two services have separate customer journeys so an appointment conversation stays with the appointment and a Help Line conversation stays with the Help Line.

Choose the right starting point

When you want support with a pet-care concern

Start with Paws & Whiskers Help Line. It offers general education and help organizing concerns for a veterinary conversation. The public page explains the private written and phone support options, current prices, and Free Advice for those who can’t afford a paid option, with no explanation required. Read the support preparation guide if you are unsure what to include.

When you want someone to visit your home

The Paws & Whiskers Visits website is temporarily unavailable. Online visit requests and private visit pages cannot be used at the moment. Contact Bay Area Apps for questions about an existing visit.

When you already have an appointment

For details or changes relating to an existing visit, contact Bay Area Apps while the Visits website is unavailable. Keep your private visit link safe. A separate paid Help Line request is not needed for visit logistics.

Public information and private requests

Public guides help you understand the service before sharing personal information. Addresses, pet details, booking updates, and customer conversations belong in the private service flow. A private visit link provides access to that visit, so treat it like other sensitive account information.

The owner’s app is an operating tool for the business, not an app offered to customers. This distinction matters when sharing the service: send the public website to a friend, not a private appointment link or an owner-device registration file.

What to check before you submit

  1. Choose the service that matches your need

    Read the service description and price. A Help Line support request and a home appointment are separate services. Do not assume one automatically includes the other.

  2. Review the confirmation

    A requested visit time is not guaranteed availability. Keep the confirmation and check the details before paying. For paid Help Line requests, availability is confirmed before payment. Follow the service’s displayed instructions and keep your private conversation link.

  3. Keep a way back to your request

    Save the relevant link privately. If it stops working, use the service contact page rather than creating duplicate requests or paying again.

Support and feedback

For a visit issue while the Visits website is unavailable, email info@bayareaapps.com. For an existing Help Line request, use its private conversation or contact route. For website problems or general studio inquiries, contact Bay Area Apps.

A useful website report includes the page address without private tokens, what you were trying to do, the message you saw, and whether you used a phone or computer. Do not email passwords, payment-card details, or another customer’s records. Feedback about unclear wording or a hard-to-find button helps us improve the experience.

Need a hand?

Use the contact page for help finding the right service or returning to an existing request. Keep private booking links and personal details out of public posts.
