The Pandemic Corona has given a new lesson to the whole world where all businesses are moving towards being digitalized. Thousands of websites, web applications, and mobile apps are launched every new day. As per a statistics report published by Websitehostingrating, there were 4,437,215,927 (4+ billion) internet users as of January 2020. The average internet user spends 6 hours and 43 minutes online every day and there were over 1.74 billion websites on the Internet. But the matter of fact is only a few of the web and mobile apps get huge success. We have experience in providing web and app development services from startups to tech giants, we can tell you “6 key points to make your Web and Mobile App Development Project a Big Success”. The 6 main points are as following:
1. Plan as per your Target Market:
Go through your reference sites and apps, and see how they work and then write down your requirement specifications. Also, write down what features they are missing and you would like to have those as a customer of that application. Plan the color theme of your product wisely. The color theme and design layout should be user-friendly to your target market. A client from the USA and another client from China won’t say the same theme as “beautiful”. As in most of the cases, the preferences and likings are different. That’s the reason the layouts of amazon.com and amazon.cn are completely different.
2. Be ready with the money:
You should plan a budget based on your requirement. There are many good Cost Estimation Calculators available over the Internet that will give you an idea of the estimate. After that, you should have a total budget in your pocket to start project development. Only start the project development work when you have the full money. Don’t start a project with half money, as that will be a total wastage of your money and time if you cannot get the investor for the rest money. If you need to find an investor, so find him/ her before finding your development team. Set meetings with your Investor and show them your prepared functionality specification documents, tell them about your target market and your plan to approach your target market, discuss shares as well.
3. Find the Best Development Team:
There are thousands of Development Companies, Agencies, and Individual Freelancers, who can develop your project. Be wise while choosing the best one. Go through their portfolio, real client reviews, get to know about their employee strength in case you choose a company or agency. There’s a wrong myth that companies charge you more but it’s completely wrong. Companies are rather more trusted as they have in-house staff, they take proper care of your Intellectual property security, they take care of the nondisclosure, they can give you back up of any number of developers needed. As per statistics made by our Team, Companies are more successful in meeting deadlines than individual freelancers. If you want to know more about why should you choose a company and not an individual freelancer, you can read another blog written by me, Here. Make your development team sign the NDA and IP Agreement. After that discuss the full requirement. The Development Team will then submit you a detailed document on the functionality list and elaboration. Ask the development team about their After Development support and if they provide Maintenance and Support. A reputed Development Company will suggest to you the best technology stack to use for your product and will also tell you the advantages of each of the suggested technologies.
4. Schedule Daily Meetings:
Once you choose your Development Team, be sure to have daily meetings with the development team. If the Development Team is from any other timezone, set a time to have meetings in an overlap time where you discuss the update and your feedback. The development team should be fluent in your preferred spoken language to have very good communication. Communication always plays a vital role to make a project successful. Provide quick feedback to the development team so that they don’t need to wait long for your feedback. Opt for Video and Voice calls instead of Text Chat as text chat is very time-consuming.
5. Assign Tech Lead, Project Manager, and Tester:
In 80% of cases, clients are not Technical, therefore, they need to assign a Technical Lead or Project Manager, who will make sure that the code quality is best. Maintaining proper coding structure is always very important, so that, any developer can easily work on the amendment. Most of the reputed companies assign a Project Manager and Tester for free. Tech Lead will maintain the code quality, Project Manager will manage the project and will work as a bridge between you and the developers. The Tester will make sure that the Product is Bug-Free before you pay the development team the full cost. Most of the reputed companies always provide 6 months to 1-year FREE bug fixing support.
6. Sketch a Proper Marketing Plan:
You should have a Proper Marketing plan both in the physical and digital world. You need to plan for social media marketing, ad campaigns, PPC marketing, email marketing, Google Ad Campaign, Classified Listing, etc. There are many reputed companies, who provide you 3 months of E Social Media Marketing after the development is done.
