Mobile App Development
An app earns its place on a phone by making repeated tasks more convenient. Clients might schedule visits, receive notices or use a feature that relies on the device itself. That purpose should be established before visual design begins. Greenwich Web develops iPhone and Android applications, taking projects from initial planning through store release and future maintenance.
We begin with a question about actual use:
Mobile Planning
A responsive website may be all a client needs for occasional information. An app becomes more compelling for repeated interactions or device functions such as the camera, push alerts and offline use. We compare these needs before proposing development, including the simpler option when it serves better.
Useful Features for Mobile
A restrained feature set can make an application more useful. These common functions deserve consideration when they support what clients return to accomplish.
Scoping an App Project
Costs reflect the experience, systems it must connect with and release requirements. We define these before committing to a budget.
We consider how many distinct screens the experience requires, whether accounts are needed and which outside systems must connect, including bookings or payments.
When suitable, shared development lets us deliver iPhone and Android versions from one codebase, lowering both build and maintenance effort.
Our team prepares product descriptions, visual previews and required review information, then manages submission to Apple's App Store and Google Play.
Operating systems change regularly. We maintain compatibility, resolve defects and prepare revisions as your services and customer needs develop.
Discuss an App Concept
Describe the intended users and the task. We can assess whether a dedicated app is appropriate and outline the work involved.
Questions Before App Development
What makes an app preferable to a site?
Usage determines the format. An occasional visit for contact details generally favors a responsive website. An app can make sense when clients regularly book appointments, order products or need device alerts. We explain the tradeoffs before committing to development.
Can you support Apple and Android devices?
Usually. A shared codebase can support both systems, though certain device-specific requirements may call for another approach. We explain the choice and cost.
What determines the development schedule?
Timing follows the agreed requirements. A small interface may take less time than an app with accounts, payments and connected systems. Once defined, the project has a written schedule covering each development stage.
Can an app work with our current website?
Frequently, yes. Accounts, product records and reservations may be shared between the app and website. We also assess payment, scheduling and accounting integrations before quoting.
