The first question is always why. Once we know the why, we can ask what. Only then can we work out how.
Each additional button exponentially increases the complexity of an app. See Don't Make Me Think.
Keep It Simple, Stupid. Most systems work best if they are kept simple rather than made complex.
Focus on user experience the most important determinant of success in application adoption.
There are unique aspects to apps App vs Mobile Website. You need to know when to use each.
Minimum Viable Product. Make sure your app achieves its primary aim. Iterate from there.
If not conceived in planning, it generally takes 10 times longer to change or add a feature during the build.
An efficient build requires understanding the cost benefit trade-offs inherent in technology. We know the technology.
This is the typical process we follow. We recognose that no two projects are alike and hence we remain flexible.
We ask that you complte our "Brief Form" before we meet. It should take 5-10 minutes. It helps everyone get on the same page and makes the first meeting more productive.
We meet face-to-face for 45 minutes. Agenda: Overview of Slay (10 minutes), Your background and why we should work together (10 minutes), What your project is (20 minutes), Next steps (5 minutes).
Based on our initial meeting, we often have to undertake some market and/or technical research. We will then form a number of concepts that we will package into a proposal.
We will meet again to discuss the concepts and provide you with ballpark costs. Once the final direction is established more detailed costing can be calculated. This generally occurs 10 days after the initial meeting.
Aesetics and user experience are vitally important to the success of mobile applications. We will provide storyboards of user-flows and design key user experiences.
We will create a "Functional Spcifications" document that outlines we needs to be built and how we will build it. Our team uses it so we know exactly what to build, and you will know exactly what you are getting.
We will suggest a number of milestones during the build process. We will undertake weekly WIP (Work In Progress) meetings so you can see exactly how we are tracking.
After extensive internal testing, we will provide the app to you and your team to test. This is a time consuming yet vital part of the app development process.
This involves uploading website and submitting to the various app stores. Generally it takes 5-7 days to go through the Apple approval process. There is no approval process for Google Play.
The app is not finished upon launch. Successful apps are continually improving, and performance is continually monitored. This is an ongoing process that Slay can help you with.
From conception to execution, here are some of the things we do.
