Building a custom app isn’t a one-size-fits-all process; it’s based on what your business needs. If you’re starting from scratch, the steps generally look like this: first, we’ll chat about your app idea and agree on some clear goals. Then, we’ll design how the app should look to make sure it feels like your brand. After that, we’ll develop the app for the platform you choose—iOS or Android. We also test the app on multiple devices to make sure it runs smoothly. Finally, we’ll launch it on the App Store or Google Play, and if needed, we’ll stick around to maintain it over time. Already have an app? No problem, we can upgrade or improve it to meet your business’s current needs in Glens Falls.

The cost of building an app can vary quite a bit, depending on a few factors. First, it depends on how complex your app’s features and design are. Do you need backend services or external integrations? That can change the price, too. The platform you choose—iOS or Android—and how many devices you want to support will also affect the total cost. The size of the team and the time needed to develop your app both come into play, too. In Glens Falls, simpler apps tend to cost between $5,000 and $15,000, while more intricate apps start at $15,000 and can go up from there.

There are a few ways to bring down the cost of your app. For one, you can focus on just the core features for the first version, keeping things simple at the start. Also, it helps to start with just one platform, either iOS or Android, and add the other later. Launching early and introducing extra features over time is another smart way to save. We’ll help you figure out the best way to get the app you need for your Glens Falls business, while staying within your budget.

How long it’ll take depends on several things. The complexity of the app is one of the biggest factors—if your app is packed with features, it’ll take more time to develop. The platform(s) you choose and how many devices your app needs to support will also affect the timeline. And, of course, the size of the team working on the project matters. We’ll give you a realistic time estimate once we’ve gone over your specific app project.

Native apps come with a lot of benefits. First off, they perform better and work more smoothly with the device’s hardware. Plus, they give you access to more advanced features, like AI (artificial intelligence) or AR (augmented reality). Native apps can even work offline, and they tend to get long-term support from iOS and Android, so your app stays functional for years.
