Mobile Application Design Services

The first thing we do is a sprint 0, during which our team meets yours to establish a detailed brief, scope, and project goal. We’re proactive and transparent to ensure deliverables within the scope and valuation of your project.

Then, during the course of the project, we do small revisions and changes as needed. We don’t limit the number of such changes, as they are a part of the exploration process.

Finally, when it comes to large changes (for example, a whole new feature), we re-estimate the project, update the scope, and prepare a new valuation. You also have the option to exchange elements of the initial scope for new ones to maintain a similar valuation.

We are flexible when it comes to organizing our cooperation. We provide basic support and maintenance for our projects, and we can extend the scope to meet your needs.

As part of support and maintenance, we can provide:

• Updates
• Bug fixes
• Performance monitoring
• System maintenance
• …and more

We are experienced mobile app designers that have crafted hundreds of products across different industries. You can explore our design process in detail in the Design Process for Pros ebook.

Our process revolves around up-to-date best practices used across the industry. In terms of interaction design, we abide by Jakob Nielsen's 10 heuristics for interaction design. We use the Cognitive Walkthrough method to evaluate and improve the friendliness of the app for new users. We use the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines from the World Wide Web Consortium to ensure that your app is accessible to all users, including features such as:

• Providing text alternatives for non-text content
• Making all functionality available from a keyboard
• Ensuring text is readable and understandable
• Maximizing compatibility with current and future user tools
• …and more

The timeline for full design and development can only be estimated based on your project specifications, so we can’t give you an exact timeline until we know your needs and business context.

In terms of smaller services, here are a few examples with more specific timelines:

• Product Design Sprint – 4 weeks (1 week for preparation, 1 week for the workshop, and 2 weeks for analyzing findings and preparing a report).
• UX Research – 2 to 7 days to deliver initial recommendations, and a few weeks to perform full research.
• UX Review – 1 week.

We have tested processes, tools and methodologies for delivering the outcomes you need.

With user experience design for a new product, the goal is to ensure that the user journey is smooth and that the product meets expectations. We provide you with:

• Documentation capturing the definitions and goals
• Critical path diagram
• User journey
• Prototype storyboard
• Testable prototype
• Further development plan

When we design the user interface, the goal is to make it attractive and unique so that it stands out from the competition. We provide you with:

Fully designed product ready for development

• A beautiful tested project
• InVision clickable prototype and mockup of an app
• Asset handover set
• Animation timesheets
• Sketch source, illustration and vector source
  
  

We don’t use a single best architecture, we choose the architecture on a per-project basis or stick to the architecture of your choice when you require it.

Our Android engineers stay up to date with Google's official architecture guidelines. We commonly rely on the MVVM and MVI architectures, but sometimes also work with Flux/Redux-like solutions.

When we develop iOS apps, we use different approaches depending on the size and complexity of the project. Some of the methods we commonly employ are MVVM (with or without Rx), VIPER, Clean Swift, or RIBs.
