User Experience Designs: Expressive & Playful — vol. 38
Cool collection of inspiring apps and mobile designs.
The following are some app designs that we love.
Time efficiency is important in the digital world. There are too many apps to keep up with, and the one which enter the market first often lead to more downloads.
Besides, agencies are experts in creating mobile apps for a number of platforms. But it does not mean that you only have to deal with a single app design company. While it may be convenient to work with just one agency, there’s an advantage if you hire multiple companies. It will give you an insight on how they see your app and see what works best for it. There are apps that are first created for a mobile platform, then ported to others. It is good if you talk to different app design companies because they may offer something new for your app and you didn’t even know about it.
One of the main reasons why you hire an app design agency is because of its reputation. But finding one with a great reputation can be hard — it can be even harder if the field is new and unfamiliar. In that case, go for one with a reputation in another field. If they’re familiar with the industry, you don’t have worry too much about your time and money being wasted on something that may not work out well.
You can also hire a company based on recommendations. After all, if you’re in the same industry, it’s good to know who are doing great work in it. It would be easier to relate and bring out the best that your app can give. You can also ask other people who have worked with these companies and ask them what they think about their services or even hire them yourself.
Just remember that not all app design companies out there are good at what they do, so don’t compromise standards just to save money. In the end, you will only be disappointed and may even lose customers for your mobile app in the process.
Here are some tips on how you can find the best app design agency:
First, you need to know what kind of app do you need. Is it a simple game or a more complex one? It is important to determine this first. Then, go for the company that can deliver what you actually want. The best way would be checking their portfolio. Go and look at their work and choose the types of apps they’ve created in the past. It will give you an overall idea on what they can do.
Hiring agencies based on recommendations is another way to find good companies out there. However, there are so many that it can be hard to choose. In this case, type what you’re looking for on your search engine and check reviews and suggestions from bloggers that are knowledgeable about the industry.
Then, there is price. Start by comparing the per hour rate of agencies that provide similar services and take note of the additional costs such as marketing or support fees. An advantage would be if they have fixed prices — it can give you a better idea of cost estimates.
Check their portfolio first before hiring them. If they have great work in their portfolio then it would be a good idea to hire them, especially if they have experience in your industry or area of interest.
Lastly, you can hire someone based on recommendations from friends, but it is still important to check if the company is reliable. You don’t want to hire someone who gives poor services for your app, right? So ask them about the type of services and how long this would take.
But remember: You don’t have to hire one that everybody thinks is the best. You just need a good agency that will provide your needs and wants. The rest will come with time, but before that you need to choose one that works well with you.
