You might be interested in creating an app and also have an excellent idea for it, but you don’t know how to bring this idea into reality. Let me discuss some useful steps that can help you to give your idea a shape.

Step 1: Setting up a Goal First

Before getting started with anything, you should know what the goal behind it is. So, first get clarity on the goal and what is it that you are trying to accomplish. Complex designing, or coding is not what defines the starting line of app development, instead, you need a paper and a pen and get the answer to the questions listed below:

• What your app is going to do exactly?
• Are you planning to solve any problem through the app? If yes, then what problems?
• How your app is going to appeal the end users?
• How the marketing of your app is planned?
• Is your app going to simplify the life of people? If yes, then how?

Step 2: Get your Ideas Sketched

There is still sometime before you start working on your system. You now must answer the questions that you listed in step one. In step two, you have to define that what your app is going to look like. This is the time when you have to decide that whether you will give your app away and earn money by offering ads or you are willing to provide the app for paid download.

Step 3: Decide the Wireframe

Wireframe in the world of technology is termed as the glorified storyboard. This is the point where you can design the idea and give it functionality and more clarity. A wireframe is the foundation for any of the app development.

Step 4: Define what is going to be the back end of the App

Now with the wireframe drawn by you, start examining the functionality. Delineate the data diagrams, APIs and servers by using the wireframe.

Step 5: Get your Model Checked

In the Sixth step, we recommend you, to have a discussion with your friends and family. Show them the demo and try to get the feedback, constructive criticism can prove to be highly useful in your app development process.

Step 6: Start Building the App

Once the foundation of your app is in place, you can get started with putting the puzzle together, in order to give your app a shape. Get your APIs, databases and servers set-up by the developer and then proceed accordingly.

Step 7: Start Designing the App Look

At this stage, you are going to need the designer that will help you in creating the user interface, UI. UI is the vital part of the app because this is what user gets attracted to, as to how the things are going to look and how convenient it is for them to navigate through it.

Step 8: Try Testing your App

Now, the second testing round is of great importance. Here you will test the UI and functioning of the app. Make sure that the app and its screens are working fine, and it looks appealing visually.

Step 9: Adjusting and Modifying the App

After testing the app, of you believe that it needs some tweaks then go for it.

Step 10: Beta Testing of the App

Beta testing is important to know whether your app will be able to function properly when operated in a live environment.

Step 11: Releasing the App

You have finally reached the finished line and now you can let the world know what you have created.
