What mobile platforms do we build apps for?
Our development team is formed of iPhone/iPad developers and Android developers. We also operate an extended team of approved developers which allows us to cover platforms such as Windows 8 phone and Blackberry 10.
How do we approach app development?
All our apps are developed natively, as we believe this provides the best experience for users and clients. We use a RAPID application development framework, which aims to deliver designs and app builds quickly, to allow clients to assess and comment upon changes. This enables us to build the best app for their business.
We begin all projects by working with our clients to understand their business goals and target audience. Then we map that understanding to a mobile strategy. We work with our clients' requirements to formulate app functionality walk-throughs and pixel-perfect designs. At the same time our developers liase with our clients' tech teams to establish how the resulting mobile application may dovetail into the clients' systems. We do everything we can to help our clients build whatever interfaces they need to make their apps successful.
Our development team works with our designers to build early versions of our apps which we can share and review with our clients. This process continues until we have completed the app's main features. We then move into the beta phase, which involves rapid testing and bug fixing. Mobikats have developed tools and technologies to enable clients to be part of this process. We can even manage the deployment of beta apps to test audiences and provide simple tools for those audiences to report issues or give feedback.
Once the beta phase has been completed, Mobikats work with our clients to facilitate the app's release. We can manage this process on a client's behalf or provide guidance and training to allow clients to a manage this themselves. We are also able to provide free consultancy on the best marketing strategy and to connect clients with great mobile app marketing companies we have worked with in the past.
What happens once an app has gone live?
Mobikats provide one month's free support and then an ongoing support package that's tailored to our client's needs.
What else can Mobikats offer?
In addition to being one of the best and most cost-effective app development companies around, we offer services such as mobile strategy consultancy and mobile web development, through our approved developers' network. We are also experts in developing kiosk solutions for clients, enabling clients to better reach their customers in store.
