How We Make Our Apps Distinct & Effective

At DM360, we work on a foundation of three core aspects to make our apps stand out. Over our decade-long experience in providing mobile app development services that actually work, we have learned that the key to building stellar apps is to concentrate on the end-user’s experience wholly. This means, every built-in feature or integration we incorporate in the application should be purpose-driven and should enhance the experience in a significant way, failing which, it is only going to hold the app back.

Here are our secrets.

Pre-planning

At the very base of an effective mobile application is a proper plan of how we want the app to turn out, and this includes every detail right from the framework we are considering to the font selection of the content. As opposed to other mobile app development companies, we believe in securing the groundwork before we make the big moves, and for the same reason, we like to spend some time drawing out the plan, asking the most important questions, and addressing likely challenges before we start production. For this, our experts will require detailed information about your target audience, the features and capabilities you wish to incorporate, and other elements affecting app effectiveness. This is so we can determine the exact target audience, devise the most efficient ways to include all requirements, and identify the features we need to focus on from the end user’s perspective. Following this user-centric approach helps us achieve the most success.

Focus on user engagement

Companies oftentimes overlook the engagement aspect in their busy journey to achieving perfection in other aspects. However, it would be an understatement to say that engagement is important, in this day and age. Considering the fact that there are a million apps in the store, each ready to provide excellent experiences, you need to give your users a reason to stay in your app. User retention is indeed a core metric to focus on, and the best way to do that is to provide fun and valuable exchanges within the app. Our tech experts like to think of ideas from the perspective of the end-users in order to come up with the most resonating features. We also use logic and scientific market analyses to narrow down features and micro-interaction options and finalize the best ways to generate engagement.

Securing performance at the roots

Needless to say, one of the most crucial indicators of app success is its performance, and as a discerning mobile app development company, we pay attention to every little detail at the back end impacting performance. We like to secure the best experience from the roots, which is why we dive deep into the application’s technical aspects including data encryption, response lags, data redundancy issues, clarity and ease of navigation, optimization of memory, etc. This ensures the best delivery and the best in-app experience. Put together with our engagement optimization techniques, we make sure to give you a fine app.

Our Mobile App Development Process

Being one of the most reliable and preferred custom mobile app development companies in the US, we operate through a fully transparent and open process, where we constantly keep you in the mix. At every step of app development, we make sure to run it by you and ensure your thorough approval before we move on to the next step. We believe in providing real custom solutions that truly incorporate your ideas and thoughts.

The first step in our agile custom mobile app development process is consultation with the client and subsequent discussion of app needs, objectives, target audience analysis, and the like. This is where the initial discovery call escalates into ideation and brainstorming, revealing exciting possibilities about how the app will turn out. We also conduct extensive market analysis to understand the end-user on a deeper level, so that we can empathize and proactively determine the best functionalities for the application.

Once the plan is laid out and the app objectives are clearly defined, our team gets to work on the visual design of the application. Here our technical designers and prototyping experts develop a full-blown wireframe and a sketch of the proposed application; one that details the interface elements and functionalities. These sketches are first developed in low-fidelity layouts and with subsequent higher-fidelity layouts with each finalized element, at the end of which you will receive an interactive and real user-level experience of the app.

After we get the green signal from you on the developed prototypes, our team dives deep and kick-starts production. At this stage, our engineers and subject matter experts build the different elements of the app according to the plan, from scratch. In order to be completely transparent and in order to avoid any communication gaps, we provide a detailed milestone-wise breakdown of our production timeline; so that you clearly understand and know where the app is is, at all times. Once development is complete, we perform a range of quality assurance checks to ensure perfection.

The QA stage renders a launch-ready application that after approval can go live on devices used by your target audience. At this stage, the application is officially launched and we keep a regular tab on important app performance metrics to gauge its effectiveness. If iterations are needed, we further engage in improvements and deliver fine-tuned versions. Being a well-rounded custom mobile app development company in Chicago, we believe in providing continued support post-release, so that you can reach out to us in case of a need. Hence, you can rest assured, that you will have access to a rock-solid support team along with your app.

At the end of our app development journey, you will be left with a stunning application that not only does what you intended it to, but also proactively addresses user concerns, delivers a fun, engaging, and interactive experience, and gathers invaluable insights that can be used to make further improvements. We love to go the extra mile to develop priceless relationships with our clients, which is why we provide regular and prompt support post-delivery as well.

FAQs

Which is the best software for mobile app development?

The best technology for your application depends entirely on the goals, objectives, features, and target audiences of the app. You also need to consider your project timelines and budget to decide on the framework. For e.g., native iOS applications typically do amazingly well with Objective C and Swift, but this may not be true of all iOS apps. In the same way, if you need a high-performing feature-rich application, you can go ahead and choose a native framework.
