The future of apps? It is blindingly bright. We have so many exciting new technologies being continually introduced to the industry which carries the potential to add to app functionality. The technology behind apps is expanding and by no means heading toward becoming a dead technology.

No, apps are and will continue to evolve with all new technologies continually being released. Custom-built apps use high-level programming to maximize user experiences and to keep users engaged.

Apps and mobile technology have changed they way we live, communicate and work. We stand behind the belief that all companies should invest in an app, whether it is for internal use to ease the workflow, or to place your products in the palm of your consumers.

The app market in South Africa is booming with many companies growing tremendously in the digital sphere. Even in South Africa, face-to-face has now turned into device-to-device. We use apps in our daily lives, so why not make it even easier for your users to connect with you?

There is no right or wrong answer and depends on your needs. This will be dependent on whether your app will be for internal use in your business or for the public and other factors.

Should your aim be to attract the public, being on as many app stores as possible will surely benefit you in terms of outreach, accessibility, and visibility.

The duration of an app build is very much dependent on the app in question. Generally speaking, our Discovery Stage could take up to 3 months, app testing could take up to 2 months and the official app release could be up to 1 month. The average app could therefore, take up to 6 months, however, the size and nature of the app could reduce or increase this time period.

Of course! A lot of apps you see for large corporations are simply mirrored pages off of their actual websites. Not only that, many apps are hybrids that use functionality from your website making it work within the app as well. This process makes the maintenance and updating process seamless as changes need only be made once.

We adhere to strict planning. Our apps start with a Discovery Phase where we go through every single element with our client to ensure that we are on the right track and provide detailed specifications. Next, wireframes and the app prototype is built. We follow this with the development phase and thereafter testing commences alongside our client to ensure satisfaction.

Then we launch!
