Snap Inc.
I’ve been working with Velvetech for about twelve years. I hired this firm to create some simple code for me, which grew into website development and our first mobile app. Velvetech is a one-stop shop for everything relating to the web… social media, mobile apps, websites. With their professionalism, expertise, and enthusiasm, Velvetech has grown to be an extension of my department. They’re always two steps ahead of me, which is invaluable.

We have successfully implemented and deployed to production several financial applications. It is a pleasure to work with Veltetech team. I would highly recommend them as a reliable software development partner.

We didn’t have the resources in-house to accelerate our opportunities, and we would still not be to market if we hadn’t gone to a very capable outside contractor to help to accelerate our process.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to build an application?
There can’t be a one-size-fits-all answer here since there are many factors that impact the cost. On average, companies that develop apps calculate the cost based on the requirements estimation. The budget may vary from $10,000 to $500,000 depending on the app’s functionality and set of features, chosen platform, and project scope. You can find more information in this mobile app development cost guide or simply contact us for a consultation.
What are the steps to develop an app?
Regardless of the project size and scope, a thoroughly planned mobile software development process helps to make your initiative a success. In short, to build a mobile app you need to take the following steps:
- Generate an idea
- Choose a development partner
- Validate your app idea
- Design the UX/UI
- Develop the app
- Test your app
- Publish to the app stores
- Maintain and promote your app
What is custom application development?
Custom app development is the process of designing, building, and deploying an app in accordance with a specific set of users, functions, and requirements of a company. It implies a tailored approach that can’t be offered when it comes to off-the-shelf solutions.
Custom mobile apps provide a personalized user experience, better efficiency, improved scalability and security. If you need a comprehensive app that meets users and your business needs at the same time, then a custom mobile app solution is the right choice.
What is meant by application development services?
Mobile IT services may vary in response to your needs. They incorporate app consulting, idea validation, prototyping, MVP or full-featured product development. You can always choose a separate service or opt for the package.
Similarly, there’s an option to hire an entire project team or extend your in-house resources with missing pieces — PMs, BAs, developers, or QA specialists. The form of engagement can also range from fixed price to time & material to a dedicated team model, matching the project requirements.
What software do you use to build an app?
We know the importance of choosing the right tech stack for each specific project to enable the app to meet initial requirements, become scalable and efficient. This choice majorly depends on the development approach, project needs, and sometimes even the expertise of a mobile app developer. Thus, building a mobile app involves using native or cross-platform development technologies.
If your goal is to attract iOS users only, then building a mobile solution will require such toolsets as AppCode or Apple Xcode. In the case of an Android app, it will take Eclipse or Android Studio integrated development environments. Cross-platform development software includes React Native, Xamarin, or Titanium.
Why is mobile application development important?
Mobile apps have become essential instruments for companies to boost performance, achieve goals, and address challenges. Whether you need a solution to engage with customers or streamline your internal operations, the development of a mobile app will help you advance your business.
Building a competitive application requires not only time and budget resources but also the strong expertise of a development team. Outsourcing a mobile application development company is the best option to ensure the flawless implementation of your custom project and the overall success of your solution.
