HOW TO CREATE A MOBILE APP: TIPS FOR DEVELOPMENT AND DESIGN

July 17, 2023 6:45 |  iBuildApp Blog
With more than 85% of Americans owning a smartphone, mobile apps are a hot
business idea. People are constantly using their smartphones, so it makes sense
that you would want to be a part of the business of the app world, but
developing a mobile app doesn’t just happen overnight.

Developing a mobile app not only takes business savvy but also technology savvy.
To be in the know about how to create a mobile app that works well, you have to
consider many things for example, how many functions you want your app to have
and how many of them engage with different devices, or your app will just be an
eyesore.



It also falls on the design side of things to make sure your app is ready to
roll. Designers have to make sure that the flow of the app is smooth and the app
functions the way it is supposed to.

But how do you achieve successful development? Keep reading to learn about about
how to develop a mobile app.




CREATE AN ENGAGING APP USER INTERFACE

Modern mobile app development should follow a minimalist aesthetic, providing
users with a logical and user-friendly platform with which to interact. It
involves looking beyond the letter-sized static screen and focusing on fluid and
intuitive interface components.




CONSIDER THE DESIGN ELEMENTS

When developing a mobile app, its important to consider the design elements that
will make the user experience enjoyable and engaging. Make sure the interface is
simple and intuitive, with features that are clear and easy to use. Ensure the
design is visually appealing with a striking color palette, meaningful
typography, and eye-catching images.

Think about how navigation will be handled and keep the user in control at all
times.

Make sure the layout is consistent across different devices and platforms and
consider ways to optimize loading speeds to ensure a smooth, seamless
experience. Design accessibility features to provide usability and access to
people with disabilities or cognitive impairments.

Last but not least, streamline the onboarding process and test user flows to
identify and remove any points of friction. All these design elements are key
components for creating a successful mobile app.




MAKE IT SIMPLE FOR THE USER

Over 80% of internet browsers are mobile. When creating a mobile app, it is
essential to make it simple for the user.

This can be achieved by ensuring the app’s design is clean and uncluttered. All
elements of the app should be easy to identify, with clearly labelled buttons
and visual cues. It is also important to keep menus organized and minimize
dropdowns as much as possible.

Additionally, it is beneficial for features to be accessed with as few clicks as
possible, allowing the user to navigate quickly and easily. It is also important
to make sure all features are intuitive and respond quickly. By taking the time
to optimize the user experience, the app will be more enjoyable to use, thus
leading to increased downloads.




CONSIDER YOUR APP DESIGN TEMPLATE SELECTION

Choosing an app design template that resonates with you and your product is the
most important step. Look for a template that starts on a strong foundation as
the template will lay the groundwork for the rest of the design and development
process.

Additionally, the template should have user-friendly features such as an
easy-to-navigate layout. Choosing an appropriate design template during mobile
app creation is crucial to improving UI/UX components, reducing design time, and
optimizing cohesion throughout the app. App users expect app performance and
loading times quicker than desktop websites.

It’s also important to accurately reflect your app’s core values with the design
of the app. For example, if your app focuses on a calming theme, choose a
templated that reflects that desire with colors and graphics that create a
soothing atmosphere.

Benefiting from premade design choices is the primary method for reducing
drafts, shrinking production times, and assisting in streamlining productive
cohesion between front-end and back-end teams.

Ultimately, your selection of a design template should have the flexibility to
accommodate or adapt to changes. By implementing each of these tips, you will be
able to successfully create your very own mobile app.




CODE YOUR MOBILE APP FOR OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE

Optimizing app performance serves as an intricate part of improving the user’s
experience. By optimizing the code to operate with as little energy consumption
as possible, apps with smooth transitions and lower response times will keep
users from unnecessarily squandering app battery life. Poorly written code
leading to many crashes or poor app reviews will be detrimental to the mobile
app’s success.

When it comes to coding a mobile app for optimal performance, there are several
tips to keep in mind.

First, use a well known programming language, such as Java, Objective-C, or
Swift. This ensures the code will be effective and have minimal runtime errors.

Next, take advantage of the device’s hardware resources and ensure key features
are efficient. This could mean managing the device’s processing power or
efficiently utilizing the device’s storage capabilities.

Finally, before submitting the app to the App Store, test it extensively by
creating a test suite. This will help identify any issues or bugs in the code
and help optimize performance. Following this advice will go a long way towards
creating a successful, well performing mobile app.

By taking the appropriate measures throughout the app development stage, less
overhead and less app crashes can be expected during testing or on your regular
app market environment.




HOW TO CREATE A MOBILE APP FOR LAUNCH SUCCESS

A comprehensive mobile strategy helps control the enthusiasm around app release
efforts through social media, testing, or feedback from beta users until the
final preparation and release. A strong mobile strategy works to gain attention,
build anticipation, and help the app find the right audience through
asymmetrical digital programs beyond traditional app store promotion.

Learning how to create a mobile app is all about launching in a way that keeps
potential competitors from staying a step ahead of you.
