eCommerce Mobile Application Development process:

 If you're someone who has  had an idea for a mobile app and would like to know more about the  process and costs, hopefully this blog post will shed some light.

We work with non-technical clients as well as technology partners  and agencies – this article is aimed at clients with little prior  knowledge of how apps work in terms of the build, but have got a great  idea from a user perspective that they want to see in action.

Cost and time:

Most developers will tell you something along the lines of 'how long is a piece of string' when asked how much a web app costs.

And of course, they're right, but it is possible to give a  guideline. For any app, you are looking at thousands rather than  hundreds. Most apps will take weeks to design, build and test, at least.
You are unlikely to find much below £5,000 in terms of building a complete app, and that would be for a very simple one.

It is likely you will want to budget more than that, particularly if  you have specific, potentially complex, requirements. The number of  devices you want your app to be suitable for will also affect the cost.

Who builds it? Who designs it?

We  are a tech and design company, so we can create all aspects of the app.  A lot of app designers will take charge of the entire project – so  writing the technology that powers the app, and designing the way it  looks to the people using it.

We are happy to accommodate your design requests – whether that's us  working on the technical development, you doing the design yourself, or  providing us with the designs from somebody you already work with. Some  companies will always want to do the design in-house, this is something  to check.

What is the mobile development process?

If  you are starting from scratch with a new app developer, it's likely you  will first chat about and confirms your requirements. Once everyone is  on the same page, the technical solution will be decided and the user  interface designed, so you know how it will work from a user's point of  view.

App development will then begin in earnest and once completed, full  testing and QA is carried out. Once you sign off the app, it will be  ready for you to use, sell, or look at in awe.

Maintenance of mobile apps and future work:

Your  app will be good to go and often comes with a warranty for a specified  time. However, software may need other updates in or outside of this  time to keep it ticking over, or you may want to refresh your app in the  future with new ideas, improvements or additions.

Mobile apps are a great way to reach out and grow your business, but  they also have specific benefits. Mobile apps can utilise phone  features, such as notifications, camera and location, broadening the  scope of what can be achieved.
 
Why develop a mobile app?
 
 Use of mobile devices is set to overtake desktop for accessing websites .
 
 Think about how often you use your phone, or you see other people using  theirs. It's common to use your mobile to browse websites, search for  information and make purchases.
 
 A mobile app enhances the user experience further and achieves a greater engagement with your users.
 
 Often a mobile app offers features that a mobile web site (or web app)  isn't capable of because it can have greater access to the mobile  device's hardwear (such as GPS, camera and microphone).
 
What's involved in building an app?
 
Planning:
 
 Thorough understanding of what you want and ensure we've got all the  information that we need to design a solution to meet that.
 
Design and User Experience:
 
 We will look at who your app needs to appeal to, and be appropriate  for, the intended audience. It needs to be consistent with existing  branding where applicable.
 
Development:
 
 Creating the working product based on those things using our experience  with various technologies to devise and develop a solution.
 
Testing:
 
 We make sure that what we've produced is what we set out to produce, and ensure it all works correctly on varied device types.
 
 We like automated and manual testing, making sure that where possible  we have automated tests to cover the design functionality, backed up  with the manual testing. You can't beat a human set of eyes looking at  it.
 
 Support, analysis and Improvement:
 
 We'll work to ensuring that product continues to perform in the way that it's expected long after the product is launched.
 
 Long term support for mobile apps is key to it's success as new devices  and device updates often change the underlying systems which could  otherwise harm performance of the application.
 
 And as user  uptake of your application grows, we'll work with you to collect and  analyse information about usage and help to guide design changes and  enhancements.
 
 We like to maintain relationships with clients  over the years, supporting systems, offering advice, and remaining a  part of the project.
