Topics covered
Posts compare approaches, discuss user experience on small screens and outline what to consider before commissioning an app, including target platforms, budget, ongoing maintenance and how people will discover the app once it is live.
Common challenges
Frequent pitfalls include building for every platform at once, underestimating store requirements and the effort of continuing updates, and launching without a plan to attract and retain users. A focused first release that proves the idea is usually the safer route.
Before you commission an app
Check first whether a responsive website or progressive web app would meet the need. If an app is justified, define one core journey, agree how you will measure success and budget for updates, because operating systems and devices change every year.
Our mobile application development team can help you scope a first release, and web and mobile app development covers projects that need both a web product and an app working from the same foundations.
