Need a Mobile App for your business? Here’s what you need to know!

With businesses opting for a “Mobile-First” approach, there is a huge demand for developing mobile applications to engage with existing and future audiences.

However, the process for developing a mobile app can sometimes take more than the estimated timeframe, due to lack of technical know-how and other relevant factors. In this blog, we give a step-by-step guide on everything you need to build an app for your business.

1) What are the different phases of app development?

• The Pre-Design phase involves identifying the core concept and objective of the project. This may include one or more sessions with your team to understand the project requirements and create a tentative roadmap for the project.
• The Design phase takes care of architecting the UI/UX for your app. The designs for all the screens of your mobile app, along with a working prototype will be submitted to your team which can be installed on your device/s to give you an actual sense of the app.
• The Development process then handles the actual build of the mobile app, preferably in several phases called “sprints”. At the end of each sprint, a build is internally released to you for review.
• The Testing process ensures that each functionality is working fine, and the bugs are resolved, if any.
• The Deployment process initially involves deploying your back-end server into a scalable production environment to ensure seamless data transfer to and from your app. The second deployment involves submitting your app to the Google Play Store and Apple App Store.
• The Maintenance process ensures smooth functioning of your app through regular updates involving fixes, performance upgrades, enhancements, and new functionalities.

2) What kind of a team is required to build an app?
Depending upon the app complexities, the kind of software professionals involved in the process may vary. A basic app development team consists of a UI/UX Designer, App Developer, QA/ Software tester, and a Project Manager.

In the case of a complex mobile app, a need for some additional skillsets/expertise may arise, such as Backend Developer, System Administrator, etc.

4) How much does it cost to build a mobile app?
It all comes down to cost after you have realized what kind of an app your business needs. However, it is difficult to estimate the cost of a mobile app, unless the features and complexities of the mobile app are analyzed. The cost range of a mobile app may vary from a minimum of $5,000 to more than $100,000 depending upon several factors such as nature of the business, app platform, design type, custom functionalities, etc.
