Home » Having an app made from a strategic perspective

Apps: almost everyone uses them. There’s an app to check your bank balance, to read the newspaper online, and even to keep track of how many calories you’ve consumed today. Apps have also become important in the business world. At Wise Minds, you can have an app made that perfectly suits your goals and wishes. When we talk about having an app made, this can be a web application as well as a mobile application. Using apps saves you time, which you can then devote to your core business.

Why should you have an app made?

The larger the company, the greater the need to have an app made. The larger the number of processes you deal with, the greater the complexity of the organization. To achieve and maintain the highest possible efficiency, you can have an app made. Having an app made can be inexpensive and makes work processes immediately simpler after implementation. Apart from saving time and therefore money, an app also provides more benefits. A good app, for example, also promotes marketing. Customer communication is significantly easier.

A web application

As already mentioned, when we talk about having an app made, we can be talking about both a web application and a mobile application. Although there are many similarities between the two, the differences are even greater. If you choose a web application, you choose a program that is supported by a web server. The user of such an application usually has to log in to access the data. A famous example is the Microsoft Outlook web application. Web applications are used by both companies and individuals.

Mobile applications

If you opt for a mobile application, you opt for software that is essentially cast in the form of a program. You use this program on a mobile device like your smartphone or tablet. More and more mobile applications can now also be installed on the desktop. You can download these applications from the well-known Google Play Store or, for Apple users, the App Store. A big difference with web applications is that mobile applications can also be opened offline. Also, they are capable of performing more complex tasks.

Having an app made: how does the process work?

Do you want to have an app made that is not only cheap but also maximally functional? Then you’ve come to the right place at Wise Minds. If you want us to make an app for a price that is fixed in advance, we always go through a process consisting of fixed steps. First and foremost, we start with a thorough inventory. We think critically with you and regularly make suggestions. After the inventory, the actual construction of the app begins. After launch, we can also maintain it for you.

APIs

Almost every app needs to connect to an API to do its job. An API is a software interface that allows the software program to communicate with other programs. In other words, the API is responsible for the communication between an app and the server. If you want us to make an app for you and there is no API present, we can develop it for you. The same applies to websites without an API. The steps to be taken depend on the specific situations. Wise Minds provides a lot of advice and consultation here.

Having an app made and the price that comes with it

Anyone who wants to have an app made often fears having to dig deep into their pocket. Although it is obviously an investment to have an app made, no definitive statements can be made about the associated costs. Just like people, apps also exist in all kinds of shapes and sizes. Naturally, many variables influence the total price. Important questions that we ask when determining a price when you want to have an app made include the target group, database, CMS, operating system, and more.

Can having an app made be cheap?

Cheap is a relative term. We can agree that having an app made requires an investment. However, having an app made can also turn out to be inexpensive. It yields more profit. This can be a profit in time, but also in revenue. If you are interested in having an app made, you may have already come across calculation tools on the internet. However, these give far too general estimates. For more information, it is best to contact Wise Minds.

The importance of user knowledge

Knowledge about the user is essential to be able to deliver a good app. If you want us to make an app for you, we will ask you specific questions about this. It makes quite a difference whether you want to make an app for a large audience of (potential) customers, or a part of the people within your organization. The extent to which users are familiar with using apps in general is also taken into account. The more specific you can define the user, the more effective the app and the more accurate the price estimate.
