What Is App Development?
App development is a process that is used from start to finish. The process first starts with your idea. The idea should be something that offers solutions for user’s problems. Next, you’ll want to ask why hasn’t someone else come up with this idea already? You may find an app won’t work to solve the problem or maybe the app would have to be too complex to be usable. After this analysis, you may find an app isn’t feasible, but if it is, then you can move onto the next step.
What’s the next step? Developing the strategy behind the app. During this stage you’ll have conversations with others about the app as the solution to a problem. You may come up with additional ideas on functionality, etc. Next, a goal is established and then you’ll have to run an audit to see how competitive the app would need to be. Then you’ll need some user feedback, which you can use to help improve the app. Finally, you have a goal, which is the finished app.
What Makes a Good App Developer?
That’s a good question and we’ve put these tips together on what to look for in a good app developer:
CREATIVITY
An app developer should be creative, so their work will impress the end user. Their work should be able to catch the eye and bring your concept to reality on the screen.
CROSS PLATFORM
They should be able to develop apps across multiple platforms
COLLABORATIVE
A good app developer should be someone who works well with a team and not just one their own. You need to be included in the process for the app to be successful.
COMMUNICATIVE
You’ll want to find someone who is a great communicator. Communication is key through each stage of the development process. Poor communication can lead to delays, misunderstandings, etc.
How Long Does It Take to Develop an App and How Much?
We’ve got the answers for these questions, too. Keep in mind that anything of quality takes times. Remember Rome? It wasn’t built in a day. Sorry, we just had to put that in! Truly, the same applies when it comes to building your app.
The time it takes to create your app can vary depending on several factors. As we work through the app development stages, we’ll want to talk with you about the purpose of the app, what kind of functionality you’re looking for, and what types of systems will need to be integrated, such as MySQL, PayPal, or a CRM. This all happens even before we give you a rough quote on the project, or let you know how long the project will take.
Just to give you a baseline, simple app development project generally takes a minimum of 3-4 months from the sign off of the design and creative elements. You can expect this will cost thousands of pounds. However, we’ll make sure you receive an excellent return on your investment. Plus, we’re here to support you each step of the way.
Hybrid or Native?
This is a question you’ll be asked when talking with app developers. What is a native or hybrid app?
Hybrid apps are typically built using JavaScript, HTML and CSS, just like web apps and websites. In other words, development is simpler and can be done in a shorter amount of time. The final app can be made available on the Play Store, the App Store and can even be made to work on Windows devices.
Native apps, on the other hand, are built for a specific platform; they will not work on any other platform. You can’t have a native Android app work on an iOS device, for instance.
Benefits of Hybrid Apps
When it comes to hybrid apps, they can work on more than one platform and it only takes one codebase, rather than two. What does this mean for you? You’ll only have to pay half the number of developers that it would take to develop two native apps. In addition, your project will be completed twice as fast, making this a cost-effective process with a shorter time to market.
Hybrid apps are also easier to update in the future if needed.
