Even the most visually amazing app can and will fail to perform well on the app store if it’s not intuitive and lacks usability.
As a user, you would want to open an application and feel like you already intuitively know everything — where to click next, what actions to perform, how to jump to a particular place, etc. The second you get stuck, you give up and go try another app. Sounds familiar?
So what do we do to make sure this doesn’t happen to the potential users you just spent so much time researching? As a critical part of our app development services, we do UX.
Let’s get into some of the UX design processes.
Step 1: Information Architecture
Step 2: Wireframing your App
Step 3: Clickable prototype with UI
UX design is an ongoing process. With each update, you should consider the way people are using your app.

FAQs
We always follow the best practices for developing an app. Hence we keep these things in mind while choosing an application architecture.
Portability: The good application architecture ensures the system to be portable enough to respond to environmental changes keeping the impact of change at minimal level.
Maintainability: A good Application Architecture ensures the high maintainability of the mobile application. It reduces the efforts and complexity of the change implementation which is in favor of the developers.
Manageability: How efficiently and easily a software system can be monitored and maintained to keep the system performing, secure, and running smoothly.
Reusability: Good Architecture always considers the reusability aspect during design of components and protocols.
Testability: Good application architecture ensures that each component is separately testable.
Security: The application architecture should be robust enough to secure the data consumed by the application.
Performance: A mobile application architecture should ensure to meet the performance expectations of the users.

Here’s how we will work with you for application development:
1) Test Cases Driven User Stories for Clear Requirements -
When our engagement with the client starts we help them create detailed user stories and scope out the next few sprints.
2) Intense Sprint Planning
In order to execute projects on time, you need to plan sprints as much as possible.
3) Iterative Delivery
Typically, in an agile development process, we will divide the implementation process into several checkpoints rather than a single deadline. They are called iterations and are part of each sprint.
4) Documentation
We document everything from application and code level architecture decisions, to live user stories document, to design focused UX/UI/Design System documents.
5) Constant Communication and Retrospective
Stand-Up Each workday begins with a brief team stand-up meeting to discuss what we did yesterday, and what we plan to do today.
6) Code review
A successful peer review strategy for code review requires balance between strictly documented processes and a non-threatening, collaborative environment.
7) Integrating QA in the development process
We have gotten much better about integrating QA in our development process. We used to loop QA in after our code was pushed to the master branch, which was clunky.
Now our QA engineers will identify and create a test plan as soon as we begin working on the next sprint. As initial development nears completion, an engineer and a QA engineer will run through test scenarios together.
8) CI CD and Automating Deployment
Easily release and deploy solutions by making the build process easier by building CI CD pipeline. The developer's changes are validated by creating a build and running automated tests against the build.
9) Post-release
It’s important to circle back and review how the process went once you’re done, be it a success or failure.
Did the testing correctly model the production scenario? Did the team correctly estimate the effort required to release a product? How is the product running in production?
Review how well the team performed by revisiting the implementation and testing checkpoints. Your team will adjust their performance accordingly as they grow used to being held accountable for every step in this process.

The cost of App development depends on many factors such as :
Development platform - web app, native, hybrid, cross-platform
Development platform - web app, native, hybrid, cross-platform
App Complexities - number of screens, limited data, need for API connection, admin console, user profiles
Resource location - Orlando or other cities in the USA.
After having established these factors, we create a detailed description that includes user journeys, tech stack, project investment, and timeline. Contact us with your requirement to get the App development cost.

The exact time to build an application depends on its features, the screen sizes, and the frameworks used. There is a huge process involved in developing web apps and mobile apps. But it normally takes 2 months to around 4–5 months depending on app developers, functionalities of the app, platform and much more.
