What to Bring to Your First App Development Meeting

app-first-meetingSo, you’ve finally taken the first step towards creating the app you’ve always wanted. The next step is to attend your first meeting with us! This gives us the chance to get to know you and your app idea, and lets us talk you through the process of app development. While you may be feeling overwhelmed or daunted, there’s nothing to fear! The best thing you can do is to come into the meeting prepared. Here’s a brief list of things we suggest to bring to your first app development meeting.

A clear and concise summation of your app’s purpose

This is the most important thing to bring to the meeting. Telling us what your app is about and how it’s intended to function will give us the knowledge needed to build the most suitable app. It’s also crucial to know exactly what you want your app to do. Make a list of all the features you’d like included, making sure to include information on each function. We have experience working with a wide range of clients, resulting in an extensive portfolio of apps that function in all manners of ways. Whether you’re creating an app for your business, or releasing an app as a personal side project, we’ll take your app’s purpose into consideration to obtain the best results.

An idea of what you want your app to look like

Before you go in, it’s crucial to have an idea of what you’d like your app to look like. If you’re struggling to decide on a design, or you require some inspiration, we can provide assistance. We’ll show you examples of what’s possible and help you to design an app that best suits the purpose and features of your app. If you have a specific look in mind, we’ll value your input and work with you to bring your design to life.

An idea of the audience you’d like to target

Before starting, we’ll also need to know the intended audience for your app. Understanding the audience you’d like to target will allow us to design the app to appeal to your demographics. It’s essential to know right from the get-go who your app is for, as an app designed for teenagers will look very different than an app that’s intended for businessmen aged 30-40.

Which platform you want to release your app on

While the team at Appz can design apps that function perfectly on Apple, Android and Windows platforms, it’s up to you which of these you’d like to pursue. You can choose to design an app for just one platform, or all three – the choice is yours. Releasing on all three platforms will target more users; however, your target audience may predominately use only one platform. It’s a good idea to conduct research into the different platforms to aid you in your decision. If you’re still unsure, our team can advise you on the best solution for you.
