Copywriting

We're lucky to collaborate with incredibly talented copywriters who are the best in the business. Copywriting for mobile apps is a skill and an art form that blends creative flair with sharp strategic insight. Given the rapid pace of mobile apps and how quickly attention can drift, the power of meticulously chosen words stands out more than ever.

Effective mobile app copywriting goes beyond mere information; it's about captivating the user, expressing your brand's unique voice, and making every word count. It involves delving into the psychology of your target audience, crafting messages that resonate deeply with them, and guiding them effortlessly through a seamless journey on your mobile app. The correct copy-fit for your audience can position your brand, set you apart from competitors, and greatly enhance the user experience of your mobile app.

Growth Marketing

When it comes to mobile apps, growth marketing is crucial for overcoming obstacles and achieving business growth. We collaborate with top digital marketers to tackle key areas such as Acquisition, Activation, Retention, Revenue, and Referral. Growth marketers craft data-driven campaigns that attract new customers and optimise campaign effectiveness through audience understanding.

After acquiring customers, they shift focus to Activation, optimising onboarding and user experience to convert leads into active, paying customers. Retention strategies, such as personalised communication and rewards, are employed to maintain customer engagement and satisfaction. Revenue generation involves analysing pricing and conversion funnels to maximise Customer Lifetime Value (CLV) and implementing upselling, cross-selling, and promotions. Referral marketing expands the customer base through referral programs and viral strategies, actively tracking to ensure effectiveness. Growth marketing is an integrated, data-led approach to app marketing, partnering with digital marketing experts to run tests to scale your mobile app.

Frequently Asked

Mobile App Development

 Questions

All the A's to your Q's

How much does it cost to develop a mobile app?

We’ll engage with you to help you understand specific costs, as many factors influence pricing. However, here are some rough guidelines that can help with your thinking.

  • Basic proof-of-concept apps could range from $10,000 to $30,000.
  • Small apps might cost between $30,000 and $80,000.
  • Medium-sized apps are estimated at $80,000 to $150,000.
  • Large, feature-rich apps could exceed $150,000.

Several key factors contribute to the cost:

  • Features: The functionality and capabilities provided to users.
  • App Type: The industry or sector the app serves, such as healthcare, education, or food delivery.
  • Supported Platforms: Whether the app is designed for web and/or cross-platform mobile.
  • Design Complexity: The complexity of user experience (UX) and user interface (UI) design required.
Will there be ongoing costs for my mobile app once it has been developed?

It's important to note that the investment in an app extends beyond the initial build. Ongoing expenses can be significant. For instance:

  • Server Fees vary widely, depending on factors such as traffic, file numbers, and file size.
  • Developer Accounts: Necessary for app release, with Google and Apple charging a small annual fee.
  • Ongoing Maintenance: This varies based on the app's complexity and the nature of the engagement. 
  • Third-Party Tools: Costs vary based on the tools required.
  • Marketing: Budgets can range significantly, but marketing is crucial for app visibility and success.
What is mobile app development?

Mobile app development is creating software applications that run on mobile devices, such as smartphones and tablets. It involves several steps: ideation, design, development, testing, and deployment.

What are the key steps in the mobile app development process?

The key steps in the mobile app development process include ideation, design, development, testing, and deployment. Each step is crucial in creating a successful mobile app.

What is the difference between native, hybrid, and web apps?

Native apps are designed specifically for a particular mobile platform, such as iOS or Android, using programming languages like Swift (iOS) and Java/Kotin (Android). Hybrid apps are written in a framework like Flutter or React Native that runs on Android and iOS. On the other hand, web apps are accessed through a web browser and do not require installation.

What programming languages are commonly used for mobile app development?

The commonly used programming languages for native mobile app development include Java or Kotlin for Android and Swift or Objective-C for iOS. However, frameworks like Flutter and React Native allow developers to write once and deploy it on Android and iOS.

How do I choose between iOS and Android development?

With cross-platform development, you don’t need to. By using Flutter or React Native, we can write once and deploy the app on both Android and iOS.

What factors influence the timeline for app development?

Factors such as app complexity, features, design intricacy, and testing requirements can influence the timeline for app development. We account for these factors when estimating the development timeline.

What is the role of UX/UI design in mobile app development?

UX/UI design is crucial in mobile app development. It ensures the app is visually appealing, intuitive, and easy to navigate. It focuses on creating a seamless user experience.

What is your approach to mobile app design and user experience?

Our approach to mobile app design and user experience follows design thinking and agile methodology, allowing for flexibility and iterative improvements based on user feedback. We aim to create visually appealing and user-friendly apps that move users towards a desired action.

Do I need technical knowledge to be involved in the development process?

While technical knowledge is unnecessary, we collaboratively involve you in the discovery and development process so that you can provide valuable input and insights.

How do app developers handle app store submissions and approvals?

App developers handle app store submissions and approvals by following the guidelines and requirements set by the respective app stores. They ensure the app meets the criteria and help clients navigate the submission process.

How long have you been developing mobile apps?

Our experienced team understands the mobile app development process and industry with over ten years of experience.

What is your development process like, and can you provide a timeline for our project?

We follow an agile methodology in our development process, which enables flexibility and allows us to make iterative improvements. The timeline for each project can vary, depending on its specific requirements. We will provide a personalised timeline after discussing the project details with you

Will my app be compatible with both iOS and Android?

We ensure your app is compatible with iOS and Android platforms. We develop cross-platform and hybrid apps to cater to a broader audience.

What support and maintenance do you provide after launching my app?

We can provide ongoing support and maintenance after launching your app. This includes addressing bugs, releasing updates, and ensuring compatibility with new devices and software versions.

How do you ensure the security of my user data?

We implement strict security measures to protect your user data. This may include encryption, secure data storage, and adherence to privacy regulations.

Can the app integrate with other services or APIs?

Our apps can integrate with other services or APIs to enhance functionality. We ensure seamless integration with third-party services to provide a comprehensive user experience.

What testing processes do you have in place?

We have rigorous testing processes to identify and rectify bugs or issues with your app. This includes functional, performance, and compatibility testing across various devices and operating systems.

Who owns the source code once the app is completed?

This is an important aspect that affects the control of your app and future development possibilities. Once the app is paid in full, the source code will be 100% yours.

Is it Better to Opt for Native or Hybrid App Development?

At Take2 Elevate, we believe in a hybrid approach. This approach exposes your app to more users while reducing development costs.

How does Take2 Elevate Manage Project Communication and Organisation?

Take2 Elevate stands out with project management capabilities comparable to the best in the industry. When you embark on your app development venture with us, a dedicated project manager will be assigned to you, ensuring a guided and smooth experience.
