Mobile App Development
A layman’s guide to building an app
IntroductionGrandiose ideas come to all of us. Well mostof us. And to some more than others.
Well lets assume YOU do have a simplyfantabulous idea for a mobile app (if its someother idea, sorry can't help you there). Youcan see the fame and money at the end butjust don't know how to make it there.
No fear, for I am here! Your Knight in shiningarmor.
1. Define Goal/Concept
This is where you work on that brainwave you had to actually give it life.
Define your end product, know what you want and figure out how you’re gonna get there.
2. Draw up some sketches
Of course you have an idea of how you want your app to look. It is yours after all.
So get out that pencil & paper and start drawing
some sketches.
3. ResearchNow not to burst your bubble orsomething but chances are people havehad similar app ideas before.However chances are that they didnot capitalise from it or you’d haveheard of it.So READ UP and learn from theirmistakes.
P.S. Doesn’t hurt to get a few ideasfrom them either
4. Create a Prototype
Now it is time you hired a team of expert app developers to start building your app.
Once a prototype has been completed ask your friends & family to use it and gain their feed back. This will prove useful as they would think like the average user would.
5. Build Backend
This is not something you shouldbother yourself with. That expertteam that you hired, they wouldprobably be working on this stageabout now.However it is good to know theprogress of the development so theydon’t con you.
7. Final Testing & ReleaseAnd you’re almost done now. This iswhere the final testing and any bugsdiscovered will be fixed.
Once all the issues have been fixed allthat remains is for the app to bereleased onto the respective app storesfor Android/iOS. This can be done byyourself or with the help of thedevelopers.
8. App Marketing
Developing and Release of App is onlyhalf the story. Now you needdownloads to make money!•Social Media•Press Releases•Advertisements•Websitesare all good marketing strategies.
Good Luck!!!
