How to commercialise an app

App Prototyping

Make a prototype to demonstrate your idea.
Our app design process can take you from an initial idea to an app prototype all the way to launch on the App Store or Google Play store. Our experienced UI and UX designers can visualise and develop your idea, introducing industry standard practices to ensure the app is clean, easy to use and attractive to your target market. The process usually goes something like this:

  • Market Research

  • First Draft Prototype
  • Final Prototype
  • Development and Coding
