5 success factors for app development

The bar for developing a mobile app is set high. Users expect to swipe and click intuitively toward their goal, effortlessly and without much thought. When developing an app, there are several crucial factors to consider:

  1. Beautiful design that matches the brand and the target audience.

  2. Smart functionalities that directly contribute to achieving the goal.

  3. Convincing customer journeys for diverse users and needs.

  4. User-friendly and intuitive navigation with guiding calls to action.

  5. Reliable techniques and tools that evolve with new developments.

 

The benefits of good app design

A well-designed app is not only visually appealing but also easy to use. With an intuitive design, users can navigate effortlessly and accomplish their goals without interruptions or having to think about controls. This design focuses on what matters, ensuring a smooth experience. The simpler the app, the more frequently people will use it. If the design is unclear or confusing, it disrupts the user experience, leading to potential drop-off.

Our team of experienced UI app designers and UX app designers collaborates closely with you throughout the entire design process. We blend your vision with our deep understanding of user needs and expectations, creating an app that not only meets your requirements but also perfectly aligns with the end-user experience. With streamlined communication, we ensure an efficient process. Once the design is approved, we proceed with app development.

 

Developing a user-friendly and effective app

At DTT, we focus on developing an app that is both user-friendly and effective, guided by the aforementioned success factors. We divide the development process into clear steps to efficiently and purposefully work toward the desired result.

1. Defining goals and strategy

Together, we determine which functionalities directly contribute to achieving the primary objectives, then create a concept in a functional design: an interactive prototype.

2. Independent technical advice

From Flutter apps, Progressive Web Apps, Native Apps to Hybrid Apps. We have the expertise to effectively use well-tested techniques. Together, we decide on the best technology for app development.

3. Developing an MVP app first

Initially, we develop an app that can immediately be used to achieve the primary goal, commonly known as an MVP or Minimum Viable Product. From this strong foundation, an enriched version 2.0 or 3.0 can be developed.

4. Testing and optimizing the app

With usability testing and analytics, we identify which adjustments can boost the user experience towards our goals, enabling informed decisions for app optimization and development.

5. Providing continuous support

As a strategic partner and specialist, we keep the app up-to-date and offer managed hosting with a 99.99% uptime guarantee. We train your team and help engage the target audience to maximize app results.

From initial brainstorming sessions, app development, to continuous support: as your app developer and strategic partner, we are here to help you get the most out of app development.
