Mobile App Design

With mobile Apps design and user engagement are everything.

Solvd use a mantra of “Balanced design, appearance and usability” to ensure your mobile App satisfies your requirements and design goals.

Initial discussions

Our initial discussions will cover the goals of the app development, design boundaries such as branding and what are the target operating systems. Functionality and business rules are discussed as well as monetization strategies such as in-App Ads and App marketing strategies and making the most of the marketplace features.

We then formalise these ideas into the project brief and submit this to the customer so everyone knows what the project goals are.

Use cases & application flow

Sold develop use cases for the app to identify how the system will be used and the type of people using it. These use cases drive the design on app usability, the flow of control in the system and how the app screens flow together. During this phase we a paper based system to allow us to rapidly re-sketch and re-visualise the on-screen elements needed and how the app will flow. This iterative process is based on our knowledge of standard user interface elements and interactions and allows a product design and interaction method that is fit for purpose, will be easy to use and adhere to the target platform interface guidelines.

Design

We design a wire frame layout, then once you are happy with the flow and basic on screen elements we turn it into a detailed set of UI designs that give you early visibility of how the App will look and work. These detailed mock-ups are then used to drive the development of the actual app UI code and design elements.
