How to select the best Web and Mobile App Development Company for a startup?


Startups thrive with great products or applications at their behest.   

Be it the iconic Google, Apple or the emerging startup superstars Basecamp, Dropbox, Uber, Shopify and Slack, take any great startups they all have one big common thread. 
  
All of them are powered by a robust, user-friendly and feature-enriched applications 

And this is where startups struggle most. To find a capable web and mobile application development company who will be able to turn their ideas into great digital products.  

Today, we are here to help you out. With our experience of helping startups to turn their ideas into great applications, we have seen what promising startup founders seek in a web and mobile app development company.  


 1) Process of “Ideation to Implementation”: Developing application is not about unleashing your best developers and tech team after a startup idea. Under the hood, there is a chain of events which are instrumental in developing a robust, flexible and scalable application.  

         From “Idea Evaluation” to “Draw the Product Roadmap”, the process of taking a startup idea at its early stage and shaping it up to develop an application is where most startups need expert help.  

Often startups approach web and mobile application development company with an intangible idea. The app development company must have enough dexterity to- 
  • Understand the startup idea,  
  • Iron out the loopholes in idea if required 
  • Identify the market and audience-need around the concept or given solution,  
  • Create a mockup and prototype to connect the idea-dots 
  • Build the MVP to test the feasibility of the application 
  • Work on the usability and utility (UI and UX) of the application  
  • Select the best tech stack for the application.  
When Giri, the brain Mindful Meal approached us with his idea to build an application to help to create nutritious diet plan for busy families, we had to work with him from the scratch.  

From encapsulating his idea inside a workable product roadmap to align the best tech solutions for his applications, we almost became co-founder of Giri while developing his application.  

Before selecting a web and mobile application development company for your startup, ensure that your chosen team can pull you through at every phase of your app-development journey.  

2) Proven Track Record:  

This is a no-brainer. The most capable web and mobile application development company has an enviable record to help exciting startups. More diverse their clients are, easier to understand the skillset of the app development company for startups. 

At DreamToIPO, we have been approached by the healthcare startups, wellbeing organisations and every time we have to bring out the best from us develop the best solutions for their target audience.

This what startups search in a web and mobile application development company. To ensure they are with the right team and best minds.  

3) UI and UX of your application:  

Good design builds a great business.Your application design is one of the catalysts to draw the audience, acquire them and convert them into customers.  

If your startup idea is turned into the application with an awful design, future is dark and gloomy for you. Good design is not just beautiful or appealing but build the relationship with your audience. 

The good design is all about helping or inspiring the users to take the next step to complete their desired action or journey to resolve their pain and puzzle.  


While developing the Femwell application, we at DreamToIPO work hard to ensure the application has an appealing interface and friendly user experience.  

When Femwell wanted to revamp and modernise their application, we make sure they have a fresh appearance which looks appealing and invites the users to immediately explore it to meet their need


4) Personalization over Pricing:  

Does your application speak your language? Does it represent your brand and business with all might and resonance? Most importantly, does your application has everything that your audience demand? 

Often, seeking a web and mobile application development company, startups are driven by the cost-effectiveness or finding a vendor who can provide them “pocket-friendly” solution.  

Considering the financial state of the startups, this is acceptable. But, in long-term, the result is not welcoming for them. The so-called “cost-effective” service has resulted in dull, boring and fragile applications.  

Personalized application is a breather here.  

Experienced web and mobile app development company can save you from sudden disaster by providing an application that helps you to stand out from the competition and build a sustainable relationship with them. 

This is what we try to achieve while developing Abhyaasa app. We did not run after providing a cost-effective solution. Instead, we unleash what we know about developing a meditation app with great design and required features.  


Ensuring hassle-free user-experience.  Swipe. Play. Pause. Repeat. 

With the Abhyaasa, the goal was to make create an app that resonates with the users. From the very first view and touch. 

Startup is crowded marketplace. Without a personalized application that not only speaks volume about your business or brand but bridges the communication with your audience, it’s impossible to survive and win the game.  

Taking a decision is always hard and when it comes to picking the best vendor for web and mobile app development for startups, the job is herculan 

There is a disturbing chaos around the “best tech stack” and “cost-effective” solution and less importance on the “end-to-end solution” or the “product strategy” which covers every aspect of the application development.  

Now, the ball is in your court. Will you go for the bits and pieces or take help of comprehensive solution? Decide now.
