So you want to develop an APP? How exciting!

Unsure of where to start? How much will it cost me? Is my idea a good idea? Can I get funding?

HELP! Where do I start with App development?

Building and launching an app can seem daunting, but with the right steps and expertise of a company like us, your vision can become a reality.

Here are some ideas to get you started!

1. Define Your Idea The first step is to clearly define your app idea. What problem does it solve? Who is your target audience? What are the core features you want to include? Take time to research similar apps in the market and identify what sets yours apart. This clarity will be crucial when you start working with us.

2. Outline the User Experience (UX) Think about how users will interact with your app. Sketch out the user journey—what happens when they open the app, how they navigate through it, and what actions they take. This will help in creating a user-friendly design that keeps people engaged. We use platforms such as www.moqups.com and www.figma.com to help create the wireframes.

3. Set Your Goals and Budget Establish clear goals for your app—whether it’s to generate revenue, build a user base, or promote a service. Alongside this, set a realistic budget. Then add a contingency budget. Many projects can go over budget when you start adding in additional features and changes!

4. Collaborate with Rare Earth Digital With your idea, user experience, and budget in place, it’s time to collaborate with us, Rare Earth Digital.

5. Plan for Launch and Beyond Finally, think about your app’s launch and long-term strategy. How will you market it? What updates or features will you add over time? We can support you with ongoing maintenance and enhancements, keeping your app competitive and relevant.

Starting an app project can be exciting and overwhelming, but with the right partner like Rare Earth Digital, you’ll be well on your way to creating something truly impactful.
