How to Select Perfect Mobile Application Development Agency?

If your business is ready to take the plunge into mobile app development, you'll need to find a great developer to help you make it happen. To ensure the process goes smoothly.

Innverse Technologies India Based Mobile Application Development Company, suggested looking for these some most important key qualities during your search for the perfect partner or agency.

Partnership

First and most important point is to focus on looking for a partner, not a contractor. What’s the difference, you ask? The contractor will do what he’s paid for (hopefully) and then move on to another project/client. But you should expect more. Whether you’re a big company or a small start up (with aim to grow) you need a partner to help and participate in growing your business. Someone experienced who can deliver not only the requested code, but also the consulting, inattentiveness, support and many other qualities that I’ll touch on later.

Maybe you don’t realize it at the beginning, but you’re potentially building a long term relationship here. If everything’s goes well you’ll be building next versions of your product, you’ll target new markets and platforms and you need someone who’ll be there with you and who can grow together with you.

App Strategy

This is a very basic and important step in the process of Mobile Application Development. It is not just about creating an app for your business, but to ensure that the app meets your business needs. The app strategy involves the mobile agency to carefully evaluate your business needs and derive the challenges in providing the app solution. Furthermore, they need to work out a plan to efficiently overcome these challenges and provide you the perfect app solution.

The best mobile business partners are always stargazing, from discovery to deployment, strategic planning is always at the forefront of their design and technology work. At the end of the day, your app is a business investment — you are developing it to establish brand presence, and increase user reach and revenue. Constant strategic brainstorming, planning and implementation are all critical to achieving these goals.

Clear communication

The quality of the cooperation with your partner depends on the communication. Hence, the quality of your business depends on it – it’s so simple.

The communication is most effective if both sides speak the same-

language – the business language in this case. I may assure you that best developers will be eager to learn your business and at the same time they will introduce you to some technical details of their work, just enough that you know where are the current boundaries of the technologies you build on, what’s feasible and in which directions you can innovate.

Good, proactive communication also gives you one really important advantage – a peace of mind. If your partner is reliable, responds precisely and promptly to your questions, communicates problems early then you don’t have to worry if you don’t hear back from him every few hours. It just means that everything is running smoothly

App Designing 

Apps without intuitive UI are lifeless and boring. So, App Designing plays a major role to create a lasting impression on your users. Look at some of the popular apps such as WhatsApp, Facebook, Paytm, Flipkart, etc., which has just about everything that a user might need. So, ensure that your mobile agency offers similar look and feel to your app through responsive designs.

App Development-

There are way too many developers available in the market, but here is the catch: not many follow the standards required by popular mobile platforms such as iOS, Android, Windows, etc. As a result, the apps would never see the light of the day. Hence, choose a mobile agency that has a good team of developers who have a proven record of working on several published apps in various app stores.

Collaboration


Authentic collaboration requires active listening, patience and drive. It promotes creative thinking, insightful brainstorming and speedy problem solving. Some of the best app ideas have come from a few people sitting in a room with a whiteboard, thinking out loud and building off of each other's thoughts.
Through experience and expertise, a good mobile partner recognizes that collaboration is a proven practice. They make the conscious effort to have regular team meetings with clients to leverage their unique experience, creativity and the client's vision to create amazing mobile experiences.

Support and Maintenance

Once your app is delivered and is successfully released in various app stores, you need a follow up mechanism to monitor its performance and statistics. A good mobile agency compliments their iPhone application development services with robust support and maintenance that include: changes due to regulatory concerns; minor, incremental and major enhancements; major upgrades and additions; corrective maintenance; security reviews, etc.

Commitment to user experience

User experience (UX) is much more than good graphics — it's about giving people an emotional and satisfying response to an app. Good UX considers the user's complete experience as he or she interacts with a product and generates an emotional connection between the user and the app. A good mobile partner comprises UX "wizards" — user interface (UI) and UX designers who are committed to designing mobile apps that offer truly intuitive function and a beautiful design interface.

App Marketing

In order to create more visibility for your app, app marketing by mobile agency could be of great help. It helps to build a profitable business model by increased adoption of your app by users. Hence, choose a mobile agency that lists out creative app marketing techniques to quickly monetize your app.

App Porting 

It is very essential to diversify to your app on to various mobile platforms and that’s what app porting does. The biggest advantage that you get through app porting is the cross-platform compatibility for your app. That means more and more devices can access your app bringing more business for you. Most mobile agency don’t support this service owing to the complexities involved in it.

Pricing model

There are basically two pricing models to choose from: ‘fixed price’ and ‘time and material’. Which one you choose depends on your situation, but basically you should choose fixed price when you know exactly what you want to build and you don’t envision any changes throughout the project. You just want to get a price from the developer, maybe to compare it with other prices and choose the lower one. I must however warn you that this is probably the bad approach as the IT industry and its clients has already learned the hard way many times. The key reason is that the requirements almost always change, so why would you like to put yourself in a position, where you already have signed a contract with fixed content and fixed price? The changes can be really expensive in this situation.

So should I hire a freelancer or an agency?

If you are from a software company then a freelancer may be a good fit for you, as you probably have many of the agency capabilities inside App development company and you just need some additional manpower for a limited period of time or some missing technical skills. However if you lack expertise in software development you probably would like to go with the agency.

Results-driven

This is probably the most important aspect to look for in your mobile partner,The right mobile partner will have a proven track record of working successfully with various types of integration technologies, infrastructure platforms and companies ranging from disruptive startups to Fortune 500 companies.  

Carefully reviewing a mobile firm's mobile products can reveal insights into the company's capabilities. Additionally, reading reviews of the company's apps can provide a snapshot of its apps' market performance,
