In our fast-moving society, we are always looking for short-cuts to get the job done faster. Short-cuts can help you finish the task but most of the time they don’t assure quality results for the long run. In today’s market, expert mobile Application Development Companies have to construct development strategies that are faster, ensure quality results and minimize costs. Time is money, consequently, the longer it will take to develop an app, the more costly it will get.
Reducing the development time is becoming difficult day by day because there are countless devices and accordingly different screen sizes and operating systems. Developing an app that is compatible with all the platforms in a small time frame, is quite a difficult task, but, it’s not ‘impossible’.

Read on to get an insight into an efficient and effective development strategy followed by expert mobile Application Development Companies.

Jumping directly to the development and coding stage would be a risk that you will always regret. If you were to go on a raid the first thing you’d do is mark out the safe routs and make a plan to successfully execute your mission.
Consider your mobile app a mission that you have to accomplish. A small mistake could leave your backtracking. So before you do anything, sketch out how you want your app to look and plan out the functionalities that you want to integrate into your mobile application.

After you’ve put all your ideas to paper, take your app development team into the loop and get their feedback. There is always room for improvement, make sure that you and your team communicate effectively about your project in every phase. Communication skills among the team members is an imperative quality that you will notice in expert Mobile Application Development Companies.

You can use low-fidelity wireframes to plan out the structure, format, and functionality of your app. Wireframing is a cost-effective way to put together the app’s design and requirements and reduce the chance of error. This means that you will reduce the need to change the design or the interface time and again. Let’s take a quick look at some benefits that you can reap by using wireframes:

App Wireframing

Wireframes give you a clear idea of how your app will look and function.

Clarify the interface and its functionality

Reduce the overall cost of the mobile app development process

Wireframes help refine the navigation process

Content structuring is done more effectively and improves readability

The size of your project is proportional to the time it will take for development. The more complex your app’s design and functionality the longer it will take to develop. Instead of making your app more complex only add the necessary elements. Here are some factors that you should refer to for optimum project size:

The time taken to develop an app also depends on the complexity of the features. If your app has some common features, then developers can easily integrate plugins with your app to add the required functionalities. On the contrary, if you want your app to have entirely customized features, then the developers will have to start from the ground up to add those features. Suppose you want to build an app that allows people to call their nearby taxi. You don’t need a profile, you only need the GPS system and once you find a taxi you can call them on the provided number.

Compare the above example with the Uber app, which app do you think will give a better user experience? Uber.
Because Uber allows users to find a taxi, call them, create a profile for the user and the driver, give ratings, offer discounts, etc. It has more features, so ultimately it will take a longer time to develop it.

By outreach, I mean for who are you developing an app? Is it for a small community or at an international level? Just think about the difference between how your outreach can affect the size and consequently the development time of your mobile app. Furthermore, the platform that you create your app for (Google Play Store / App Store) also contributes to the app size. For example, if you’re developing an iOS app you’ll have to make sure that it can easily function on all Apple devices and various screen sizes. Same is the case for Android apps, but it’s clear that iOS apps are larger than Android apps; this decision can strongly affect the scope and development time of your app.

Don’t complicate your app, if you planned on making a food delivery app, you don’t need to double it as a taxi service or gaming app. Before you hop on to the development process, make sure that you have a clear idea of what purpose you want your app to fulfill. Keep it flawless, simple, and purposeful.
