Mobile App Development Basics

competitive advantage with mobile application Mobile app development is the process of creating a digital application that can be used on a mobile device (phone, tablet, etc.). Mobile apps can be downloaded or designed for use on a web browser. Every mobile app must be able to perform on a range of screen sizes, browsers, and operating systems. Regardless of the type of business we are developing for, we focus on a key set of design principles to ensure our applications are easy to use, functional on a range of devices, and easy to maintain. At Mauka we utilize a range of mobile app development tools based on client needs and web hosting. Our team of mobile app designers make sure that all of our app development projects are:
  • Functional on a range of browsers, devices, and screen sizes
  • User-friendly and easy to navigate
  • Visually engaging with professional designs

  • Easy to modify
  • In line with the client’s brand, goals, and success criteria

Our Cincinnati mobile app development team uses these design principles as a basis for all projects. Depending on your unique key performance indicators, we may modify or focus on one objective over another.

Cost Effective App Development

Our development services are rooted in design principles that align with your business objectives. Each concept below informs our design framework:
Get to market early: We plan early releases so that you can start earning revenues right away. An early release process also allows us to start capturing data and feedback for future features.
Align with your business objectives: Our development services are centered around supporting your central business objectives. Whether it’s selling more products, increasing customer engagement, or finding new clients, we will center our mobile app development around your desired outcomes.
Deliver end-to-end business support: We carry out development from the beginning to the end of the process. Whether you have extensive development skills or are new to the process, we’ll ensure that you are guided along each step of the journey.
Lower your risk: We lower risk by removing the leading causes of failure for technology initiatives. We reduce external obligations, control costs, and keep investment windows short. By prioritizing minimum viable product (MVP) we eliminate extraneous costs and reduce the risk of the initial investment. Early release dates and the ability to quickly iterate also mean that it’s simple to revise the development project if needed.
Reduce your costs: Taking a portion of your business online can help you reduce operating costs. Allowing customers to buy, book, reschedule, or gather more information via a mobile app can alleviate impacts on customer support and other administrative resources.
Our goal is to help you take your idea to market as quickly as possible and establish success within your customer base.

Our App Development Process

At Mauka Technology we follow a proven development process to ensure that your project is cost effective and successful. The phases include establishing success criteria, conducting market research, aligning on the minimum viable product, releasing and itierating. Attention at each of these steps helps us create a more successful outcome.

Establish Success Criteria

Before starting your mobile app development project our team establishes a detailed overview of your goals and success criteria. Our first step is to understand your business objective for mobile app development. If your goal is to reduce costs, increase customer engagement, or reach a new client base, having a clear definition of success will help guide the development and future iterations.

Conduct Market Research Relevant to Your Business

Next we will encourage you to conduct market research to determine what products and services will best meet your clients’ needs. Preferences for color, language, access, and value can all drive the success of your mobile app development efforts. We recommend interviewing current or prospective customers to determine some of the key elements of your project.

Define the Minimum Viable Product

The minimum viable product, or “MVP” is the minimum set of features that can be released within the app to accomplish the main business goal. For example, if your goal is to release a mobile app that allows clients to book appointments online, our development services will focus around this action. By targeting one or two MVPs we can reduce the cost of initial mobile app development and determine additional features to include over time.

Release, Learn & Re-Iterate

At Mauka Technology we prioritize the early release of a mobile app in order to start revenue generation and user learning. Once the mobile app development is complete we aim to bring the app to consumers and learn what works and what should be modified. Like all websites and mobile applications, phased design and product iterations help us build features that are in line with customer demand.

Gather Customer Feedback

After mobile app development is complete it’s important to capture client feedback through surveys, interviews, and market research. During this process you’ll learn what customers like about the product and which additional features should be prioritized within the next app development cycle. Keep in mind that users in different client groups may have diverse opinions; the needs of your San Diego clientele may be different than those of users within Ohio. Mauka Technology can help you digest and synthesize this feedback into actionable app development initiatives.

Beat the competition.  Leave your competition behind with a mobile application that redefines the customer experience and market landscape. Retain customers. Give your customers a reason to be loyal to your brand.  Mobile applications increase engagement by being personalized and helpful. Acquire New Customers.  Leverage the power of mobile ecosystems - make it easier for customers to engage with your brand while lowering your cost of customer acquisition (CAC). Mobile applications have become a required part of every industry. While a differentiator for many companies, it remains difficult to realize maximum value from the investment. Here are some recommendations we have to help you succeed in the marketplace with your mobile application.

Business First

Keep focus on the business. To be successful it is important to determine if a mobile application is a good fit for the company. Important questions to ask are: Is there sufficient business need and focus within the organization? Are resources available to make the mobile application a success? Does the mobile application further the mission or goals of the company?
Define the purpose of the mobile application. While the answer may seem obvious, it is very important to state this clearly for all stakeholders to understand. Some examples include: - Match competitor offerings - Introduce a new business model - Provide better customer experience
Is the act or process by which a mobile app is developed for mobile devices, such as personal digital assistants, enterprise digital assistants or mobile phones. These applications can be pre-installed on phones during manufacturing platforms, or delivered as web applications using server-side or client-side processing (e.g., JavaScript) to provide an "application-like" experience within a Web browser. Application software developers also must consider a long array of screen sizes, hardware specifications, and configurations because of intense competition in mobile software and changes within each of the platforms. Mobile app development has been steadily growing, in revenues and jobs created. A 2013 analyst report estimates there are 529,000 direct app economy jobs within the EU then 28 members (including the UK), 60 percent of which are mobile app developers.
As part of the development process, mobile user interface (UI) design is also essential in the creation of mobile apps. Mobile UI considers constraints, contexts, screen, input, and mobility as outlines for design. The user is often the focus of interaction with their device, and the interface entails components of both hardware and software. User input allows for the users to manipulate a system, and device's output allows the system to indicate the effects of the users' manipulation. Mobile UI design constraints include limited attention and form factors, such as a mobile device's screen size for a user's hand(s). Mobile UI contexts signal cues from user activity, such as location and scheduling that can be shown from user interactions within a mobile app. Overall, mobile UI design's goal is mainly for an understandable, user-friendly interface. The UI of mobile apps should: consider users' limited attention, minimize keystrokes, and be task-oriented with a minimum set of functions. This functionality is supported by mobile enterprise application platforms or integrated development environments (IDEs).
Mobile UIs, or front-ends, rely on mobile back-ends to support access to enterprise systems. The mobile back-end facilitates data routing, security, authentication, authorization, working off-line, and service orchestration. This functionality is supported by a mix of middleware components including mobile app server, mobile backend as a service (MBaaS), and service-oriented architecture (SOA) infrastructure.
Mobile app development is becoming more critical for many businesses with more than 3 billion people worldwide using smartphones, more than 1.5 billion using tablets as of 2019. Users, on average, spend 90 percent of their mobile time in apps and there are more than 700 million apps downloads from various app stores.

Digital transformation is required to remain relevant.  The world around us is changing rapidly and companies that include product and service offerings in their digital strategy will leverage technology to set themselves apart in these dynamic marketplaces. 

Companies that successfully embrace/leverage the digital economy, tools, opportunities increase their rate of growth and take on noticeably higher trajectories.  Those companies that ignore, hesitate, or fail to leverage digital technologies are largely disrupted or displaced.
