As the number of smartphone users increases day by day, it has become important for businesses to build mobile applications alongside websites. Even statistics confirm that users are more prone to navigate any website, information etc from their mobile devices instead of using a desktop. Thus to stay ahead in the market going with the trend is absolutely essential.

 

So if you are wondering where to start ahead and what to map before building an app, then continue reading. Here in this blog, we will guide you towards the basic details you need to know to build a mobile application.

 

Firstly take a 360° tour of your product/service and know whether you need a mobile app

It is imperative for you to decide this and then go ahead. In fact, not every site needs to have a mobile app apart from the website. If your website is responsive on a mobile device, then you do not require an application further. You can improve your customer experience by converting the website to a web application.

Before you directly go into mobile application development, first you need to plan what components you’ll include in your mobile application. This will help you analyse the features your app will constitute and assist you with ascertaining expenses and staying within budget. By scrutinising a list of components, such as UX, consistency, navigation, etc you’ll get a vision for your application. This will ensure that all the features are helpful for your users and audience. 

The next step – Who will build the application?

You can choose either option, setting up your own team, hiring a freelancer or appointing an expert mobile application development company. Each of them has its own pros and cons.

Setting up your own team is on the expensive side. You need to hire the whole team of developers, designers, project managers etc. Though you’ll have complete involvement in the app development process, it will take your money and time. And without prior experience in the field, things can go the wrong way too. In the case of a freelancer, it will be the cheapest option if you need a basic app with limited features, as the freelancer will singlehandedly do it for you. However, make sure you do the necessary paperwork before starting your work with any freelancer. The other best option is to appoint an expert app development company to do the work for you. To convert a website into a mobile-friendly app, you need to work with an experienced team.  You can outsource your work to a mobile app development company. This will be the most reliable and secure option.
