Mobile app development is a relatively broad term, but most often refers to the overall process required to create and launch applications (apps) for either desktop computers, or ‘small wireless computing devices’ like smartphones or tablets. 

Throughout this process, both ‘front-end’ and ‘back-end’ developers may be involved. The former is typically responsible for elements such as design, aesthetics, content, structure, and behaviour, whilst the latter manages the ‘server side’ of the app, ensuring each component seen in the frontend functions correctly. Both of the above contribute to the overall creation and launch of mobile apps of all types across all industries, from meditation guides to online banking.

In short, the digital world is becoming more mobile-driven than ever before. With more than 50% of internet users accessing sites via mobile, there’s never been a better time to improve your customers’ user experience, increase loyalty, and reach vast new audiences with a platform optimised specifically for mobile devices.

Are you interested in building a mobile app for your business but don’t know where to start? The Possibilities Lab LTD are here to help. Our tight-knit team of expert app developers and designers really know their stuff and are always happy to sit down for a free consultation – contact us today to get started.

Generally speaking, the cost of mobile app development is influenced by a wide range of factors. This includes the developer you choose and the intended use of the app, alongside its level of complexity, meaning costs can vary quite significantly! For this reason, it would be inaccurate even to give an average price point. That said, here at The Possibilities Lab LTD, we love transparency. Our world-class app development service starts at approximately £25,000 for a simple project. Progressive web apps may be available at a lower price point according to requirements. 

The most expensive apps are often those requiring native development as a result of their complex or unique features – which may include (but aren’t limited to) AI or VR. Though costing at this end of the scale is typically high (with industry averages up to the hundreds of thousands), the end result is most certainly worth it – delivering a hugely enhanced user experience that’s rewarded by increased ROI.

Every great app starts with an idea. You’ll need to develop a vision with direction and purpose, regardless of the development route you’re going to follow, your budget, or your timeline. Of course, once you’ve got the basics down, an app development agency such as The Possibilities Lab LTD will be able to help shape and optimise your initial concepts.

Beyond this point, the path to launch is up to you. If you’re aiming to build your app yourself, you’ll need to get to grips with no-code development software before creating and deploying it to app stores. Alternatively, an app developer could undertake the following steps for you – kickstarting the process with a discovery meeting, before creating a comprehensive mobile strategy, developing your app, putting it through quality assurance, deploying it to app stores, and maintaining it.

Whether or not app development is worth it depends on your business’ unique circumstances and requirements. For those with customer bases with large online (and therefore mobile) usage figures, investing in an app could result in significant returns over an extended period of time.

With overall usage statistics pointing towards huge digital growth, particularly in the area of handheld devices, our experts recognise that developing a mobile app with a genuine purpose that’s of value to your target audience can be an excellent way to improve reach, customer experience, loyalty, and sales. Though an app is often a significant investment, much like a website, it’ll serve to boost your bottom line in the long run.

If you’re unsure as to whether or not a mobile app is the right option for you, reach out to our app development team for a free, no-obligation consultation. We’ll be happy to discuss the potential viability of any concepts you may have in the works.

Because mobile apps can vary so significantly in terms of functionality, design, complexity, and scale, there’s no single or correct timescale. Whilst a simple app built on a no-code platform with generic functionality may take three months to develop, a highly complex app involving AI or VR may take over nine months. The most time-consuming steps of app development tend to include project research, design proposals and revisions, development itself, and app deployment or ‘launch’ to your selected app stores.

Beyond the deployment stage, many developers offer ongoing maintenance and support – designed to ensure your app stays up to date, and that any issues or bugs are resolved quickly and effectively.

Apps can be monetised in a variety of ways. Whether or not you’re looking to monetise your app and how you’d like to do so should be a point of discussion early on in the app conceptualisation process, and ought to be decided before the start of development. Some popular models for monetisation include in-app purchases, subscription payment models, paid apps (wherein the user is required to pay upfront to install the app), advertising, and affiliate marketing.

Beyond these direct streams of revenue, apps can make money for your business indirectly by serving as a tool for boosting brand awareness, customer loyalty and retention, and for unlocking vast new audiences.

There are a wide variety of app development agencies to choose between, from small, budget options to global award-winning corporations. This, in addition to numerous other factors such as location, availability, and app complexity/functionality, means prices from agency to agency can vary greatly. 

The vast majority of app development agencies offer only £POA services as a result of just how different apps can be. For example, whilst a simple app with few integrations and limited creative flair may start at £25,000, highly complex options including AI integration or built for huge user bases may rack up price tags into the hundreds of thousands. That said, all apps should be built with ROI in mind – whether monetary or business-wise e.g. brand awareness.
