Stages of App Development
“Where do I start?”
“What do I need to know?”
“How does the process work?”
These might be some of the questions running through your mind if you have an idea for an app that you’re looking to get developed.
If you haven’t created an app before, you may be confused about when you need to approach a designer or development team, and what the process might entail.
In this post,AcuSync will explain the process of creating an app from start to finish and give you a better understanding of what the outcomes are at various stages in the process.
Before you approach a designer, developer or development firm, you should have:
A Good Understanding of the User
Who are you selling to? How old are they? What is the demographic of your target market?
Your target market is the one thing that can define the purpose of your app because it helps you know the users interests and wants about that app.
Well Articulated User Stories
What can I do with this app? What does it do? How does it help me in my daily life?
Creating an app requires list of things a user might want to get done when using your product, necessity or not, you want to make sure that the user can get satisfiaction with what he/she wants when using your app.
Early wireframes- hand drawn or otherwise
How does the app works? What does it look like?
You need to have a visual architecture of your app, it may be hand drawn or made in a software, having it gives the developer how you would want the app to look like and how it would function.
A budget
When creating apps, there may be a need for a great deal of resources that the developer can use to give the users the satisfaction they need when using that app, setting aside money for your project is a start but a strategy must be set in place on how you plan on funding you app and how best to efficiently implement your resources.
Commitment to spend time on creating your project
When creating an app, the developer always wants to make sure they give you the right design and functionality the app needs. With that, you’ll need to be involved in the process, giving the developer an insight of your long term and short term vision for the app so that the development team can best implement your needs and give the most sound technical advice.
Process for Working with AcuSync
Stage 1: Initial phone call or consultation with AcuSync team
Stage 2: Signing a Contract
Before you sign a contact with an individual or team, it’s important to know what you are signing.
Most developers or development firms will sign a mutual Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) from the get go to protect your idea – however, it’s worth it to note that most development firms don’t want to compete with you. Their business is to service you.
Another thing to figure out before you sign a contract is whether your project is going to be charged on a time-based model or whether the project will be completed for a flat fee. If your project will be charged on a time-based model, it will be even more important for you to have clear deliverables outlined in the contract.
Stage 3: Wire-framing
Wireframing is essentially the visual architecture of what will go on each page of your app and how it all links together. Wireframing is important to define the full scope of the project and to have a mutual understanding of what will need to go into the app. For more see What is a Wireframe.
Stage 4: Design
This stage is where you will flesh out logos, colors, styling, fonts, etc. and really nail down the look and feel of your app. Once you’re happy with the visual design, you’ll move onto the development stage.
Stage 5: Development
Mistakes made at this stage of the app creation process can be costly, so it will be essential for you to have regular communication with the development team you’re working with.
Stage 6: Beta Testing
Typically this is lumped into the development contract so make sure to ask if testing is included before you commit to working with a development team.
Stage 7: Launch
Stage 8: Post- Launch
