Applications development stages for sports and tourism
We study the market, test competitors' products, analyse audience reviews, assess the needs of potential customers, and then design the optimal application concept.
We formulate requirements for the structure, design and functionality of the application. We develop technical specifications with a detailed description of the product to ensure that the result fully meets the client's expectations. Once the terms of reference have been approved, we calculate the final cost and specify the project schedule.
We develop original UX / UI designs using the company's corporate style. We create an intuitive interface that is comfortable and convenient to use. We perform interactive prototyping to test the interface.
We programme the logic and functionality and develop the front-end and back-end. We synchronise the application with the company's website via the API, if provided by the terms of reference.
We check the performance of the final product and, if necessary, fix bugs to ensure the application runs smoothly after launch.
We publish a mobile application in the App Store and Play Market, perform ASO page optimisation, and launch advertising and search engine promotion for the product. We provide technical support, bug fixes and updates.
TECHNOLOGIES
The Apps development cost for sports and tourism
The cost of applications for outdoor activities and sports varies widely, from low-cost MVPs (minimum viable products) to more expensive complex programmes for large corporations. Several factors influence the price of mobile development:
Purpose of the application
The cost of developing an application depends on its structure, the number and complexity of functions that will be available to users and administrators.
Design complexity
Two factors affect the price: the complexity of the design and the time we spend developing a 'live' interface. Creating unique interactive and animated elements takes more time, so the cost of developing the app is higher.
Platform
The cost depends on the operating system of the product being developed - Android, iO or a cross-platform solution that runs on both operating systems.
Supplementary services
App development costs can include publishing services, ASO application optimisation, search and promotion, and technical support.
