Development Process
APP IDEATION Understanding client vision Exchange of idea s Finalizing an outline We use our app development experience and couple it with your research to help the idea evolve through various stages of innovation. At the end of app ideation, the who, why, what, when and where are scrutinized and sent as part of the problem statement before finalizing the app project. Frequent calls with the client Clarity of the idea A document with a brief description of the idea and a broad overview of features
CONCEPT PROOFING Research Refining the idea Handover to the engagement team To reinforce the client s research with our own inputs, we browse through similarly placed apps and ideas ensures we can come to terms with the pros and cons of various approaches we can pursue while bringing the idea to life. Competition analysis Feasibility analysis Engagement team and the client on the same page
MOCKUPS Deciding the flow Locking the initial features Preparing the wireframes Here, we show you the prototype of the app without the graphics. The basic purpose is to showcase all the features and flow of the app. This keeps designers, developers and clients on same page. It is also useful in determining if the project has access to the required technology to achieve the project aims from the beginning. Version 1 wireframes Repeat iterations
