The Process

Planned Development Makes Perfect Development

Every great app starts with a meticulous plan. Understanding the problem you’re solving or the value you’re adding is key to a successful venture. We help you sketch out your app’s user interface and map out its overall functionality. The roadmap we create encompasses the technical aspects, such as the programming language, database, and APIs, to be used. Our experienced business analysts and data engineers collaborate to help you craft a robust and scalable plan. We don’t just build an app; we strategise to make sure it succeeds in the marketplace.

Picking The Right Platform for your App

Choosing between native and cross-platform apps is a crucial decision. Native apps, built specifically for iOS or Android, often deliver the best performance and user experience. However, cross-platform apps offer quicker development and easier maintenance. With Gemstone’s broad spectrum of app development services, we offer native mobile apps for both iOS and Android, and also create high-performing cross-platform apps using cutting-edge frameworks. We match your needs to the right technology, making sure the platform aligns with your business objectives.

App User Experience & Design

An app’s success relies heavily on its user interface and experience and we understand the importance of crafting visually appealing and intuitive apps. Once we’ve decided what your app needs to do, our design team employs the latest UX/UI principles to ensure your app is not just functional but also beautiful. (If you’re after design inspiration check out this list of ‘beautiful’ apps to see what it might ignite).

Mobile app Development & Deployment

The actual coding is where your ideas truly come to life, and where many would-be app creators come stuck. Our seasoned developers utilise the best industry practices to build you an app that’s secure, high-performing, and glitch-free. Moreover, at Gemstone, we make it a priority to keep you in the loop during each phase of your app development. Once the app is ready and rigorously tested, we then assist in its deployment on app stores, ensuring it reaches your target audience effectively.
