About Orange Juice Applications
We are a small, independent all-in-one software studio — one team from discovery through support, not a generic agency roster.
What we do
- Web apps & member portals — custom sites, booking flows, and parent tools (see our flagship You Can Dance Academy work).
- Mobile apps — iOS, iPad, and Android where reach matters (including parent apps linked from studio sites).
- Integrations & APIs — ClassManager, payments, and the systems your members already use.
- Internal tools & dashboards — focused software for teams that outgrew spreadsheets.
- Privacy-conscious consumer apps — FaceMatch matches contact photos on-device.
- Codebase rescue — extend or accelerate an existing GitHub repo via Start a project.
How we work
1. Understand the user — parents, staff, or professionals using the product daily.
2. Ship in slices — working software early, with clear boundaries on data and scope.
3. Publish support early — guides, security summaries, and legal pages before launch where it helps trust.
Principles
| Principle | In practice |
|---|---|
| Privacy by design | FaceMatch keeps matching on the device; member data stays purposeful |
| Full-stack ownership | Same studio from design through deploy and support |
| Transparent | Published policies, FAQ, and direct email support |
Team
Orange Juice Applications is led from the UK. You Can Dance Academy is our anchor studio partner in Leicestershire — the products we ship are tested against real classes and families.
