With your cus­tomers de­mand­ing more, in­clud­ing a more con­ve­nient and in­stant ex­pe­ri­ence, build­ing an app that rep­re­sents your brand has be­come more im­por­tant than ever.

WorkingMouse pro­vides app de­vel­op­ment ser­vices across a num­ber of dif­fer­ent in­dus­tries and clients, rang­ing from start-ups through to en­ter­prise ap­pli­ca­tions.

There’s no one-size fits all when it comes to app de­vel­op­ment. WorkingMouse works with you to firstly un­der­stand the goals and busi­ness out­comes for the app, be­fore pre­scrib­ing the best ap­proach to meet those ob­jec­tives.

Mobile App Development Roadmap

Every suc­cess­ful app pro­gresses through three broad stages. These stages are fluid and may not al­ways be lin­ear.

01

Scope out your app

The first step is crit­i­cal to the suc­cess of any pro­ject. Without a clear plan and an align­ment of all stake­hold­ers, the pro­ject will likely run over time and over bud­get. It also helps de­fine the prod­uct/​mar­ket fit for the mo­bile ap­pli­ca­tion through user in­ter­views.

02

Build your app

Since we are now setup for suc­cess by thor­oughly scop­ing the mo­bile ap­pli­ca­tion, it can now be built. There are a num­ber of tech­nol­ogy frame­works that can be used to build mo­bile apps.

The app could be (1) built for web and de­ployed us­ing a mo­bile wrap­per, (2) built us­ing React Native and de­ployed across both iOS and Android or (3) built na­tively for iOS and Android.

03

Growth and en­hance­ments

Once the mo­bile app is de­vel­oped, it is launched through the rel­e­vant app store(s). However it is very rare that the ap­pli­ca­tion can be con­sid­ered com­plete. We rec­om­mend a num­ber of strate­gies to mon­i­tor and learn from the cur­rent ver­sion. Once learn­ings are made, en­hance­ments can also be made.

A few of our past apps

Aptus Design System

Aptus uses patented cou­pler tech­nol­ogy to stream­line the con­struc­tion process. Their unique tech­nol­ogy, paired with a de­sign sys­tem that en­sures qual­ity has led to cost and time sav­ings in the con­struc­tion in­dus­try.

Daltrey Biometric Security

Daltrey’s mis­sion is to re­de­fine how iden­tity is used to cre­ate safer, more se­cure en­vi­ron­ments. Using bio­met­ric tech­nol­ogy, they pro­vide or­gan­i­sa­tions with an iden­tity so­lu­tion that dri­ves se­cu­rity pol­icy from a po­si­tion of trust.

Impactr

Impactr is based on the con­cept that the world can’t change at once. Instead, we have to fo­cus on small ac­tions we can all take in our every­day lives to cre­ate a greater im­pact. With an en­gag­ing app and a com­mu­nity of Impactr’s change is pos­si­ble.

Android and iOS Apps

Android is an open-source mo­bile OS de­vel­oped by Google. More than half of all mo­bile de­vices run on Android. The popularity of Android comes with a down­side: frag­men­ta­tion. There are thou­sands of unique Android devices. Thanks to our unique frame­work, we can scale for all screen res­o­lu­tions.

iOS is Apple’s mo­bile OS for all iPhone and iPad de­vices. iOS users use more apps, buy more apps and spend more within apps than Android users. iOS users also place a higher pre­mium on de­sign. With Codebots, our UX Designers spend less time on mun­dane, man­ual tasks and more time im­prov­ing the user ex­pe­ri­ence.

Web Apps

Web apps can help com­pli­ment a mo­bile app. A web app is ac­ces­si­ble by a browser, like Google Chrome or Safari. It means that your ap­pli­ca­tion is avail­able on any de­vice, in any place, giv­ing the user more flex­i­bil­ity than ever be­fore. Depending on the user base, it can be ben­e­fi­cial to build a web app to test your prod­uct and then sub­se­quently build the mo­bile app once the prod­uct has been val­i­dated.

Way of Working

The way we work, in con­junc­tion with our Codebots, sets Every mo­bile app needs a solid frame­work and process dur­ing de­sign, de­vel­op­ment and sup­port in or­der to suc­ceed. We have re­fined our processes over a num­ber of years to best map the app de­vel­op­ment process. The struc­ture of our de­vel­op­ment teams, re­lease process, ag­ile ser­vices and tool set all form part of our Way of Work­ing. The Way of Working helps iden­tify and mit­i­gate risks, be­fore they threaten to de­rail your pro­ject.

Front End vs Back End App Development

To keep you up to date with the lingo, the front end of your app is what you see when you’re us­ing it. The il­lus­tra­tions, con­tent and lay­out are all part of the front end of your app.

The back end on the other hand is every­thing that hap­pens be­hind the scenes. It’s the ar­chi­tec­ture of your app, in­clud­ing any in­te­gra­tions you might use. For ex­am­ple, when you add some­thing to your cart, that in­for­ma­tion needs to be sent to an en­tity called your cart. If you in­te­grate with a ser­vice like Apple Pay, that’s also done through your back end.
