Prototyping: Create interactive prototypes to simulate the app’s functionality and flow. This allows for early testing and feedback.
UX & UI Design: Design the app’s user user experience (UX) and interface (UI). Focus on creating an intuitive, visually appealing, and user-friendly design.
Frontend Development: Write the code for the app’s frontend, which includes the user interface and client-side logic. This is where your design comes to life.
Backend Development: Develop the backend infrastructure that supports the app. This includes server setup, database management, and API integration.
Integration: Integrate the frontend and backend components, ensuring they work seamlessly together. This may also involve integrating third-party services and APIs.
Functional Testing: Test the app’s functionality to ensure it works as expected. Identify and fix any bugs or issues.
Usability Testing: Conduct usability testing with real users to gather feedback on the app’s user experience. Make necessary improvements based on their input.
Performance Testing: Test the app’s performance under different conditions, such as varying network speeds and device types, to ensure it runs smoothly.
App Store Submission: Prepare the app for submission to app stores like the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. Follow their guidelines and requirements.
Launch: Once approved, launch the app and make it available to users. Promote the app through marketing efforts to drive downloads and engagement.
Monitor Performance: Continuously monitor the app’s performance and user feedback. Track key metrics to identify areas for improvement.
