Best Mobile Application Development Packages

What is the Process of Creating a Mobile App?

The steps to create a mobile app are:

App Ideation: Create the concept of the mobile app. What is it meant to do? Who is it for? What platform (e.g. iOS) should it be for?

Design: Once you know what the mobile app is meant to do, create wireframes and designs for what the app is supposed to look like.

Development: Now that you have the look and feel of the app, develop the backend (or the actual code that makes it function).

Submit to application stores where users will find the mobile app (e.g. Apple App Store).

Market the app. Now that you have a great mobile app, it’s time to get it in front of people to grow your users.

What are Cross-Platform Apps?

Cross-platform apps are applications that are built on computer software designed to works on a variety of platforms and devices (e.g iPhones and Android phones). Native apps, on the other hand, are only intended for one type of device or operating system (e.g iOS). As a result, it is very common to have multiple versions of the same mobile app to accommodate for user’s device and operating system of choice. Native apps tend to have better performance, compared to cross-platform apps.

Do Mobile Application Development Packages Include Testing?

End-to-end testing and automation is sometimes included in mobile app packages, be sure to ask the developer. Often testing is used to accelerate market readiness and includes performance, security, API and digital testing services. Professional mobile app developers will typically integrate secure systems and manage cloud ops to ensure best practices in API management and security.

How Much Does it Cost to Build a Mobile App?

The cost to build a custom mobile app from scratch can range anywhere from $1,000 for a very simple app to $500,000+ for complex enterprise applications. The cost typically is greater for eCommerce businesses because scope and complexity increase.

If you go the build-it-yourself route, some self-service development app development software will have a basic plan that allows users to create very simple apps for free. From there, the cost will go up depending on what features you are looking to add and the amount of customization you’d like. Integrations, geolocation or push notifications will add complexity and cost. This is a great option for someone who wants an app without frills and has the time to build it.

What are App Builders?

App builders, also known as app creators and self-service app development software, are tools that allow users to create an app without the need to do any coding.
