Is It Time For Your Company To Get a Mobile App?

Jan. 26, 2012 - PRLog -- The newest, most effective trend in marketing- business mobile apps- is taking the market by storm. It's gone from a novelty to a business tool that is as necessary as a website. In less than five years, consumers will be so accustomed to business apps that any company without on will be left behind. Thus the wheels of industry continue to turn at breathtaking speed.

The mobile app industry is young enough that a good quality mobile app developer is still hard to find. Oh, there are plenty of web programmers out there who will sell their services and try to capitalize on the trend. But web programming and app development are not as similar as many programmers think. There are a lot of buggy and/or sub-standard apps being churned out by shadowy 'app development companies' out there right now.  Finding a company that actually knows what it is doing can be difficult.

How do you make sure you're getting the quality that you want?

Easy- check the company's portfolio. If they've been around longer than 6 months, they should have some apps they've done that you can review. If the apps are visually dynamic and completely functional,  then the odds are good they have app developers who are specifically trained to create apps (a rare skill right now) and who know what they are doing within the development framework. That's invaluable right now. You want access to an app developer company that can create the app, work out all the bugs, and provide you with the service you need to keep your app relevant.

When scouting for an app development company, keep in mind that the average market price for a good app should be upwards of $5000. If you are quoted less, then the company doesn't understand the value of a business app, and should be avoided. Quality developers know the market value of what they produce, and have been in the business long enough to know how to demand their value. That's another way to tell when you've found someone who knows what they're doing.

Price, effectiveness and a great portfolio- these are the things to look for. Don't trust just anyone who can afford a billboard. Trust a company with a proven record. Right now there are smaller app development companies that are a gold mine, because they haven't gotten too big yet to give you the customer service you'll need, and they're stocked with the newest developers on the cutting edge of the field of app development.

It's a good time to get your business a mobile app!
