Planning to build an app? Questions to ask yourself before starting!

In this technological era, having a mobile app for any business has become a must. Companies are fighting to increase their app screen time on users' phones. A successful app will keep the user engaged and also grow sales numbers for the business. However, building a mobile app for any business is not as straightforward as it looks. Multiple factors must be considered before jumping in, and you might not be ready for it. It's crucial to find specialists to assist you, from requirements analysis to the implementation of your app. But doing your homework is vital before stepping into the development process.


In this article, we have tried to answer what questions you should be asking yourself to be prepared and what the approach should be to get answers to them.


  1. Can you present your app idea to stakeholders easily?

Simplicity is your best friend when you have an idea and planning to launch it in the market. Along the way, you will have to explain the thoughts in your head to stakeholders like investors, developers, marketers, etc. Therefore, explain your ideas in the simplest way possible so that the stakeholders understand them clearly and provide proper inputs without investing much time and effort into understanding. Also, it will be easier to convince your investors if you know what you want and want them to hear. You should also be open to criticism as this is the right time to make early modifications to your idea to improve it.


2. What is the motivation behind building this mobile app?

Everyone knows revenue generation, visibility, and awareness are the main goals. In addition, there has to be a clear vision and roadmap for the future targeted customers. Finding that underlying motivation to be on the right track is essential.


3. Who is your competition?

Do your research to find out your competitors at this early stage. It will help you see what they are doing, right? What is wrong with them? What gaps exist? And how you can tweak your idea to suit the market needs better. Competitor analysis should be given a high priority in this app development process.


4. Choosing your mobile app developers

Except you are an app developer, you will definitely require help from an expert app development service provider. You can choose a company that can support requirements analysis, wireframing & UI/UX designing, and the development of your app. Please make sure you select experts in the field so you can let them do their thing and you can focus on the business end. There are multiple platforms available where you can search for such companies, see their work, and what their past clients' reviews about them.


5. What are your plans for your app's promotion and marketing?

Have you thought about a branding and marketing strategy for your app? Have you set aside funds for branding, promotion, and marketing activities? These questions should be addressed when the idea of building an office pops up. There are a million ways to promote and market your app, and hiring a reputed marketing agency for this will be worth every penny.

Keeping in mind that thousands of apps hit the stores every day, there has to be a strategy behind bringing your app in front of the right users.


6. How will you manage everything and make it work?

Owning a mobile app requires excellent management skills. You will have to be on top of all the activities happening at the same time. As an owner, you will need to have answers to,

  • Have you decided on the technical features and functionalities of your product?
  • How do you want your app to look? How will your branding be?
  • What's the plan for monetization of the app?
  • How are you going to track the progress of the development team?
