A mobile app needs to be an integral part of a holistic digital strategy.
With over 1 billion smartphones worldwide and a bit less than 200 billion mobile applications downloaded annually, mobile apps seem to be here to stay!
A mobile app needs to be an integral part of a holistic digital strategy and a business should have an effective vision behind the development and deployment of a mobile app. Great apps help users find information and carry out tasks more quickly and easily. Creating a mobile app to have your brand look sexy is not enough.
These are some useful tips to keep in mind when crafting your mobile application:
- ensure your app has a great user experience
- keep your app simple yet useful
- do not simply replicate your website into an app
- apps can’t be developed in a vacuum – It’s important to have a well-defined role for the app vis-a-vis customer experience
- always have a clear customer journey map before contacting a development company to create your app
- your app should be clean, minimalistic, uncluttered, and have “a light touch”
