With an over populated mobile application market to compete with, apps have a few seconds to impress the users allowing them to click on the download button. To make a powerful impact with your mobile application, businesses need to understand the ideology of a successful mobile application development. In order to bridge the gap between the total number of applications and its engagement make sure the below stated process and principles are made effective for your mobile application development.

1)            Core Functionality and Goal of Mobile App: When the strategies and goal of a specific mobile application is defined, businesses can chart the action plan for an effective app. Businesses should define the features, functionalities of the app that will simplify the work for them. They should understand the problems or the roadblocks they might encounter as they develop the application.

2)            The Performance Factor in Mind: Crafting any design requires certain considerations that affects performance and usability. Before designing an application, a developer should keep its aesthetics intact. The user interface design of an app has substantial effect on features, navigation, hardware access, graphics and thus performance. Performance of a mobile app is the sole responsibility of the developer. Businesses should understand this as one of the crucial signs that will have serious repercussions. High performance can be achieved only when the design discussions accommodate the topic of performance and incorporate these UI factors while designing.

3)            The perfect balance between User Interface (UI) and User Experience (UX) Design: The prime goal of a mobile application is to reach out to mobile users and expand the horizon of the brand. By developing user friendly mobile applications, targeted for users, the principles of user interface and user experience cannot be neglected. A well designed app that offers an unmatched user experience is a must for this purpose. The user interface should be layered. This allows different features that unfold while the users interact more with the app. The user interface of the app must be a manifestation of the brand, and the users must connect to it. Every brand has a story and that must be showcased through the app design.

4)            Design specific platform: Mobile platforms are distinct in their appearance and design that outline it. While considering developing a mobile application for your business, you have to choose the platforms that you design layout for all the mobile operating systems, for example Android, iOS, and Windows. The look and feel of every application on different platforms are distinct. Using similar layouts and design elements can also lead to performance issues.

5)            Choosing the Graphics: Visual Graphics play an important role in any app. The core reason to know why this would affect the app is it replaces the text on the mobile screen. For example, icons of power button, play, pause or help will enhance the look and feel of the app. While choosing these graphics, developers should keep in mind they are not outdated else the new age users will not be able to recognize the icons leading to user dissatisfaction. This situation might cause hindrance in acceptance of the mobile application and hence will impact the success of the business.

6)            App Navigation and Exploration: Navigation is one of the factors that contribute to the retention of the app. Mobile users should be convenient in using the app. While developing an app, keep consistency in each section of your app that seamlessly creates an outstanding mobile application. This includes icons, buttons and other key elements that are visible to the users. A right navigation model is also used for integrating each navigation element in the available screen.

7)            Integration of Mobile App Design Capabilities: App developers should ensure the capabilities of the devices on which the mobile application would be installed and incorporated in the user interface. This includes orientation of the application – landscape or portrait which becomes essential. Gestures such as tapping, swiping and many other that users might be unaware of.

8)            Keep the App Simple: App developers must understand the need of the application by any user. The offerings of the app should be delivered with a high level of simplicity. This should avoid complex design elements that will have repercussions on the app’s efficiency. This will not only avoid confusion but will also make the app simple to use.

9)            Room for Scalability: Developers need to understand that a mobile device isn’t just a phone. There should be scalability of application across devices, more specifically between a phone and tablet.

From the above statistics, it is quite evident that user interface and user experience design of a mobile app holds the most important factor as it directly affects the performance of any app, which indirectly affects the ROI of any business. To stay competitive in this cut-throat competition of mobile applications, you need to motivate your users to download your app and revisit it frequently. If you use these strategies, your mobile app will have better customer engagement. However, it is useful to a large number of users paying back your efforts with their visits and completes your desired conversion paths.
