Project Stages
and Flow

Based on your project’s current stage, we’ll propose the most effective plan to meet your objectives within your timeframe and budget.

Discovery stage

To plan and execute your project efficiently, we start with a discovery phase. In this four-step process, we collaborate with you to align functionality, prioritize business goals, coordinate strategy, and prototype future products. We also define deadlines and budget during this stage.

Design stage

After developing a prototype wireframe, our design team begins crafting your application's style, defining its "look and feel." We provide a complete set of UI screens for use in further development.

Development stage

Product development usually progresses through multiple releases, starting with a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) for the earliest possible launch. To accelerate the process, we use Agile development with short sprints, running the development stage in parallel with design wireframes, documentation, and mockups.

Ongoing development, support, and maintenance stage

After releasing the MVP, our team conducts new sprints to accelerate subsequent releases with additional features. We also provide ongoing support and maintenance for the latest version of the app.

1.01.
PRD (Documentation)

The Product Requirements Document (PRD) is a detailed specification and plan for product development. It outlines your business needs, details the technical requirements, and guides the planning of all development stages.

1.02.
Wireframes

A wireframe is a visual prototype of your product that displays all application screens and user flows. We can create a dynamic prototype for testing with project teams and alpha users, and for showcasing to investors and business partners.

1.03. R&D

If you require in-depth technical research, extensive testing of an existing solution, or ideation of a new solution, we will allocate the necessary resources for thorough research and development.

1.04. Product strategy

If you’re in the early stages of development, we can help you refine your product vision. Our team will collaborate with you to brainstorm functionality, define the solution scope and logic, create a wireframe, plan subsequent development stages, and schedule releases. This process ensures mutual understanding and alignment on your product goals.

Q: Already have a PRD, wireframe, or initial design?

A: That’s excellent. Our design and engineering team will assess your project to identify the remaining scope of work and propose a vision for the next stages of development.

Time & Materials

For outsourced software development, a time-and-materials (T&M) approach is often more cost-effective and yields better results compared to a fixed-price contract. This is because high-quality software development requires flexibility, adjustments to requirements, and scope changes. Fixed-price contracts often include risk contingencies that lead to overpayment for potential issues that may never arise. For a detailed analysis, read our blog.

Agile

Agile software development utilizes short sprints to ensure rapid, transparent progress toward your product goals. This nimble approach allows us to incorporate your feedback, adjust priorities as needed, and secure your approval at every step. We prefer Agile over the linear Waterfall methodology due to its greater flexibility and reduced risk.

UI/UX design, prototyping

Your user interface (UI) and user experience (UX) are crucial for success. Our iterative UI development process relies on prototypes, user feedback, and analytics to view your UI from your customers' perspective. This approach minimizes unexpected scope changes, saving you both time and money.

Automated QA and testing

Automated quality assurance and testing are essential best practices in software development. We use QA automation and testing tools to deliver superior product quality, reduce costs, and speed up releases, providing significant benefits to our clients.

Compliance with Industry Best Practices and Technology Standards

Throughout our development process, we prioritize clean architecture, design patterns, code readability, and thorough documentation. We adhere to industry standards from Google (e.g., style guides for JavaScript, TypeScript, Java, and Kotlin) and Apple (e.g., guides for Swift and Objective-C), while following general engineering principles like KISS, DRY, and SOLID.

Compliance with security standards and policies

We adhere to industry best practices to address each client’s security needs. We ensure compliance with standards and regulations such as SOC 2, PCI DSS, GDPR, and HIPAA. Additionally, we implement strict version control and automatic code and data backups to ensure continuity and safeguard against critical data loss.

Analytics and product optimization

To enhance your business value, we use analytics to refine your product and maximize ROI. We make data-driven decisions on UI/UX impact, content, and process flow, and assist your marketing team in boosting conversions, revenue, and profits. Our engineers integrate your goals and metrics to build comprehensive conversion funnels, surpassing basic tracking pixels.

Launch

Launching your application is a critical task that requires careful, upfront planning. Many developers overlook crucial steps that can delay a launch. However, launch support is one of our core competencies and a vital value-added service.

Google Play/Apple App Store

We expertly manage the entire launch process with Google and Apple. We assist you in preparing everything needed to publish your app, meet compliance requirements, set up distribution infrastructure, and establish necessary external accounts. Our goal is to get it right the first time, allowing you to focus on growing revenue instead of fixing launch issues.

CI/CD for deployment

Product development doesn’t end with launch. We employ continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) best practices to optimize ongoing product releases, integrating lessons learned throughout the process. CI/CD reduces the risk of product downtime and lowers the cost of new releases.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is custom mobile app development?

Custom mobile app development involves creating specialized, innovative applications for specific use cases. Our custom mobile app development service begins with a discovery process where our experts collaborate with your business leaders to understand your goals. We identify your target audience, essential features for an MVP (Minimum Viable Product), and unique components for your project.

Our custom app development services ensure you can deliver an exceptional experience for your end users.

How much does it cost to create a custom mobile application?

The costs of any mobile application development project vary. The exact amount you’ll pay for a custom app depends on the features, functionality, and level of support required. More advanced apps typically incur higher costs due to the need for custom guidance and expertise. We offer a transparent pricing structure to simplify budget planning. Our custom app development prices follow the “Time and Materials” approach, charging clients based on the specific resources and time needed to produce, maintain, and manage the app. We believe this pricing model is ideal for custom app development, as the best mobile apps often require flexible thinking, regular adjustments, and scope changes.
