The extreme levels of mobile device saturation and distribution of internet connectivity has created a mobile first digital world. Users expect to be able to move, and for their digital experience to move with them.
The dilemma in getting a custom mobile app developed is determining which marketplace and technology is best suited for your mobile application - Apple, or Android. The decision can exclude a large portion of your customers, i.e., building an iOS application excludes Android users, building for Android excludes Apple uses and building for both doubles your cost. So, where do you start?
Cloud-based digital experiences and services can be catered to via web applications. Simply put, if the requirements can be met through a web browser, you remove the boundary of device type and everyone with access to the internet can access your digital tool.
You don’t need to make this difficult decision alone. That’s why we’re here.
We’re here to help you navigate the decision-making process by building a prototype that allows the concept to look and feel real, before deciding which technology is best for your application.

The cost of your mobile application depends on how extensive the service you require is.
Typically, the cost of the application should include the preparation required such as prototyping and testing. The maturity of your idea, business or current application can all influence the amount of work required before ‘build.’ Equally, the cost of your concept can change based on whether you want your app build using a specific technology platform, offered on a specific marketplace or have other feature specific requirements.
Mobile applications can enable a faster more tailored user experience, with the ability to work when a user is online and offline. The modern world has now changed the playing field, with mobile apps requiring users to action updates. Most users now have access to the internet 24/7 though, and web applications update themselves instantaneously.
The best choice then comes down to choosing the path that aligns to your goals, roadmap and of course, budget.
We can achieve a lot with both, but will never start building a mobile application until the right process has been undertaken to confirm and validate your direction of your mobile app development.
Mobile application development is the full end-to-end process for creating a mobile application. Mobile software applications are created to offer a digital service via a mobile device, whether that’s a phone, watch, tablet, or computer.
The term covers:
Mobile app development often is confused for just the physical coding of the application, which is only a portion of what it covers. Unfortunately, too many development companies are quick to quote and build, and as a result, fall short on delivering the full mobile application development service required for a meaningful app that achieves maximum market penetration and user uptake.
