Q&A on App Development

We've compiled answers to the most common questions we're asked about the app development process.

What is the very first step to start a project with you?

The first step is a free, no-obligation consultation. We'll discuss your idea, business goals, and challenges. This helps us understand your vision and determine if we're the right fit for your project.

How much does it cost to develop an app?

The cost varies greatly depending on the app's complexity, features, and the platforms it will run on. After our initial consultation and specification phase, we provide a detailed, fixed-price quote so you know the full cost upfront.

How long does the app development process take?

A simple project can take a few weeks, while a more complex application might take several months. We create a detailed project timeline after the specification phase, so you'll have a clear launch date from the start.

Will I own the source code and intellectual property?

Absolutely. Upon final payment, all intellectual property rights and the source code for the custom work we've done for you are transferred to you. You own your app completely.

What kind of businesses do you work with?

We work with a wide range of businesses, from startups to established enterprises. Our expertise is in understanding business processes, so we're a great fit for any company looking to improve efficiency, automate tasks, or launch a new digital product.

How will we communicate during the project?

We believe in transparent and regular communication. You will have a dedicated project manager and we'll schedule regular check-in meetings. We use project management tools to give you full visibility into our progress at all times.

What if I want to change something during development?

We use an Agile development process, which is designed to be flexible. Minor changes can often be accommodated easily. For significant changes that affect the project's scope, we have a clear change request process to discuss the impact on timeline and budget, ensuring there are no surprises.

Do you offer support and maintenance after the app is launched?

Yes, we offer ongoing support and maintenance packages. Technology is always evolving, so we're here to provide security updates, bug fixes, and make improvements to ensure your app continues to run smoothly and effectively long after launch.

What's the difference between a web app and a native mobile app?

A native app is built specifically for an operating system (like iOS or Android) and is downloaded from an app store. A web app runs in a web browser and is accessible from any device with an internet connection. We can help you decide which approach is best for your specific needs and budget.

Can you build an app for both iOS and Android?

Yes. We can develop native apps for each platform individually, or we can use cross-platform development technologies to build an app that works on both iOS and Android from a single codebase, which can save time and money.

How do you ensure my app is secure?

Security is a top priority. We follow best practices for secure coding, data encryption, and user authentication. We also conduct security audits and vulnerability testing to protect your app and your users' data from potential threats.

Will my app be able to handle a large number of users?

Yes, we design applications with scalability in mind. We use modern cloud-based architectures that can automatically scale to handle traffic spikes and growth in your user base, ensuring your app remains fast and reliable.

What is a Minimum Viable Product (MVP)?

An MVP is a version of your app with just enough features to be usable by early customers who can then provide feedback for future product development. It's a smart way to launch quickly, test your idea in the real world, and ensure you're building what your users actually want.

Do you help with submitting apps to the App Store or Google Play?

Yes, we handle the entire submission process for you. We ensure your app meets all the guidelines and technical requirements for both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store, making the launch process smooth and hassle-free.

What makes you different from other development agencies?

Our focus is on business results. We're not just developers; we're technology partners. We start by understanding your business challenges and goals, and then we build a technology solution that directly addresses them, ensuring you get a real return on your investment.

Can you integrate my app with other software I use?

Yes. We specialize in creating seamless integrations with third-party systems such as CRMs, payment gateways, marketing automation platforms, and more. This ensures your new app works perfectly with your existing tools and workflows.

Do you provide a warranty for your work?

Yes, we provide a warranty period after your app goes live (typically 30-90 days) during which we will fix any discovered bugs or issues free of charge. Our goal is to deliver a high-quality, stable product.

Can you help me improve my existing application?

Absolutely. We can audit your existing application's code, performance, and user experience to identify areas for improvement. We can then work with you to add new features, improve performance, or modernize the design.

How do we measure the success of the app?

We work with you at the beginning of the project to define Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). These could be user engagement metrics, conversion rates, operational cost savings, or revenue generated. We can integrate analytics tools to track these KPIs and measure the app's success against your business goals.

What if I only have an idea and don't know where to start?

That's the perfect time to talk to us! Our specification and discovery phase is designed to help you flesh out your idea, define your target audience, and map out the core features. We can help turn your initial concept into a concrete plan for a successful application.
