In this era of advancing mobile technologies, if you are an entrepreneur or a small business owner looking into the mobile application industry, it is wise to capitalize on the fact that your customers are spending more time with their phone. Mobile applications clearly hold the future in enhancing customer experience with the technology coming of age due to advances in security, connectivity, user friendliness and performance.
We offer rich mobile applications that help organizations to stay in touch with their customers through custom mobile solutions that suit their needs. We design and build mobile applications that are user friendly and facilitate easy and quick data processing. We cater to your requirements whether your idea is to develop a WAP application or an interactive web based application for a wide range of mobile platforms that include iPhone, Android, BlackBerry, Brew, Palm, Symbian and Windows Mobile.
Mobile application development process has 6 distinct stages:
- Envisioning the nature and direction of the project
A clear understanding of the application features, its target customers and target handsets/platform is taken into consideration. This may involve research, best practise analysis and market feasibility study according to the specific nature of the project.
- Wireframes
Wireframes providing detailed descriptions of each screen element and features is built. It illustrates screen layouts, navigation rules and information flow.
- User Interface Prototype
A graphical overview of the proposed service structure is prepared. It depicts all of the screens within the service and the relationships between them.
- Development
Once the wireframes and UI prototype are ready, a baseline is set for the project development work to begin. The mobile application is developed for the primary platform, keeping in mind the usability and customer friendliness.
- Testing and QA
This stage of application development mainly focuses on testing and the removal of bugs, discrepancies and network issues. The mobile application is thoroughly tested on actual handsets, this includes both functionality and performance. Specific carrier - handset combinations are tested using Device Anywhere.
- Porting (if needed) and Deployment
Porting is not just about porting the code to a new platform; it is also about porting the user experience. Depending on the target platform/s, on some devices porting is straight forward. For others it might include development and changing the navigation flow of the application. The application is then deployed and made ready for release.
Usability holds the utmost importance for mobile applications. We strongly believe that any application developed for the mobile should not be thought as a replacement for the web. A mobile application needs to be designed keeping the mobile user in mind who has very little time and desires to accomplish what he/she wants with a minimum number of clicks.
