The Mobile App Development Process
Exploration
This is the first stage of the mobile app development process in which we work with you to clarify the brief for your app and define your needs so that we can make sure we're all on the same page and can deliver the right solution.
Building an end-to-end solution
Having completed the exploration stage, we start working on the UX and UI of your mobile app. We create wireframes which we share with you to demonstrate the flow from one page to the next. Once you approve these, we can start on implementing the business logic which will meet your exact requirements, and later the design and visual interface, which might include animations. Our skilled iOS and Android developers are on hand, not only to ensure everything in your app is working as it should, but also to offer proactive suggestions for improvements. Because we work in Agile, after every 2-week Sprint, you will see the finished effects of your app.
Maintenance and support
We will fully explain how you can make changes in the app, and offer full maintenance and support to ensure that your app grows alongside your business. We also monitor closely for bugs and check regularly check that your app is working as it should across different mobile devices.
Native Apps
When we don't want to make compromises, be it on performance, security or maintenance, we can build apps using native frameworks available on given platforms.
Sometimes we may be constrained to a feature-set that mostly relies on native solutions, and using a cross platform framework doesn't make economical sense. Native apps will always be the most performant, safest, and will require much less effort to maintain in the long term.
Cross-platform Apps
Cross platform frameworks work hard to deliver on their main promise, which is to use a single codebase in as many places as possible.
With the new wave of mobile frameworks, we can finally make this happen, and it has proven very effective. Using a single codebase for both platforms, significantly reduces development time and improves app maintenance - releases can be done simultaneously on iOS and Android.
Why do so many mobile apps fail and what can you do to make sure yours doesn't?
App Annie's State of Mobile Report 2021 revealed that the mobile industry is continuing to boom. Time spent in shopping apps went up by a colossal 49% in the past year, while App Store spend grew by 20% YoY. So why do so many of the mobile applications developed still fail? Here are the key culprits that we watch out for at 10Clouds to help your app have the best possible chance of success:
### The importance of the discovery phase
According to Business of Apps, as many as 42% of mobile app failures are the result of inadequate user and market research.
This is why we recommend starting with a Minimum Viable Product (MVP). It's essentially a version of your product that delivers your core functionalities to market early to test your business idea. By offering this simplified version instead of a full-blown product, you can test your hypotheses, gather user feedback, get your mobile application to market fast, and keep the costs down.
### User experience
There are so many different elements to a great user experience, but at its core, it's all about clarity, ease of use and aesthetics. There's no point creating a visually outstanding product when your calls to action are missing and you fail to onboard your users properly. Here's where the role of a UX Designer really comes into its own, as they can help you to shape the user journeys around your mobile app and ensure that your customers can intuitively find exactly what they are looking for. They also work with mobile developers to optimize the user experience after your app has been launched.
### App store optimization
As a start, make sure that you have a great product name and a sufficient description in the App store. There's a separate area of App Store Optimization (ASO) that you should be familiar with to make sure you're getting the most from organic positioning within Apple App Store or Google Play. Once somebody finds your app, the first thing that they're likely to look at is the reviews. That's why it's worth spending some time asking your early users to leave you a review and a rating - it will pay dividends further down the line.
Mobile App Development Costs
Have a new idea for an app? Wondering how much it will cost to build? Mobile app development cost will largely be down to complexity, which is closely linked to the amount of features that you want to include and the functionality that you need.
There are differences in cost depending on whether you're looking to build you app for an iOS or an Android operating system, or both. And if the answer is both, it might be worth looking at cross-platform mobile solutions.
