Step 1. Why This Mobile App?

It will help in creating a base before stepping into the development part. “Why this app” – This clarity will play an important role in determining the destiny of your app. Then, you are all geared to get started with creating a successful app.

Once you are pretty sure of your idea, you can validate your idea with Google Keyword Planner tool. Here, you can find the number of people who are looking out for what you are trying to offer. Another great way to validate your idea is by building a landing page which broadly highlights the purpose of the app and the problem it would be solving. You may also prompt users for notification and Sign Up in case they would want to test your app during the initial pre-launch. You will have a database of interested users by the time your app is ready.

Step 2. Document Your Idea and Clean-Up

The next step requires that you start jotting down your ideas in one place. They say your idea starts working when you put it on paper. So, now that you are clear with the ‘Why’, write down your ideas. See how you can organize the process flow so that you are able to add more details filling the gaps. This will help in the execution of theidea. By now, you would be super excited with your documented idea. Now, be a devil’s advocate to your own idea.

This clean up activity will help you in segregating the ideas into different phases. This phasing out also makes it easy on the budget. In addition to the documentation and cleanup, competition analysis is also important. You should definitely know about the other apps in your domain and their USPs (Unique Selling Propositions).

Step 3. Focus on Mobile App Design

Most entrepreneurs tell us that they want to have a very basic design. The logic behind is, that they would want the focus to be entirely on the development part. With our experiential learning, it is evident that design is not just about the visual appeal. It is more about the user experience (UX) and the user interface (UI) . In other words, design showcases how a user will be able to navigate through your mobile application easily.

This step requires the wireframing, storyboard and backend of the mobile to be sorted.

Make them share with you the wireframe which exactly shows what will be placed where and how these placeholders will function. This is a prototype of your app. Then the storyboard shows the different screens and connects the flow of how the user will navigate through the app. The backend structure will include the server connections, APIs and data diagrams. This information (the sketches and flowcharts) will act as an all-time reference guide to any person who will work on your app in the future.

Step 6. Test and Work on Feedback

We will test the functionality of the app at two points. Firstly the app will be tested now that the prototype is ready. This will give us the experience of how it will function in a raw format. Don’t just let the developers or in some cases, the tester to do the testing. Involve people who can share honest feedback as at this point it’s easiest to have the changes in the destiny of your app.

When the user downloads your app, there will be certain expectations in comparison with the competition apps and also with respect to their pain area or problem. Test to see whether the user will be able to experience the same what you had envisioned while you thought of creating the mobile app. Apps like Solidify and Framer may be great tools to test the app before the final launch. Also, ensure that analytics have been integrated in the app. This will help you keep track of total downloads, user engagement and the retention of your mobile app on their smartphones.
