So, cobolt,

ry

Let’s find out what makes you ‘app-y with our discovery phase.

This is a chance for our team to learn your heart’s desires. We’ll sit down with you to discuss your existing app (if you have one) and your requirements for your brand new one, making sure we hit the mark with our creative app design choices.

Wirefram
ing

Ever seen a floor plan on Rightmove?

That’s basically what we’re going to do with your app… yes, everything and the kitchen sink too.

The wireframe process acts like a blueprint for our creative app designers to understand your app’s intended user flow, allowing them to optimise your users’ journeys to ensure they get the most out of your app.

Now it’s time to get those wireframes looking ship shape.

This is when our creative mobile app designers come into their element. Using the latest digital design and prototyping software, the team will transform your wireframes from a dull menagerie of grey boxes into a cacophony of zingy high-fidelity mock-ups! Incorporating your branding, imagery and any bespoke assets, by the end of the design phase your app will start to feel more alive.

Once our creative mobile app design team have worked their magic, our creative app development team get stuck in to bring the dream into reality, building your app using code languages such as React Native, Maui and Flutter.

Once stress-tested to within a pixel of its life by our quality assurance guys, your app is then shipped off to the lovely people at Apple or Android (or both) to undergo their internal approval process (everyone cross your fingers, please), before being launched for public download.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answering Life's Biggest Questions.

Why should I bother with an app? I already have a responsive website.

We get it, it seems like overkill, right?

A responsive website is the backbone of every self-respecting organisation, essentially forming the digital representation of your company and allowing the public to interact with it. However, for businesses looking to provide a tailored and seamless experience to their customers, only an app will suffice. Because an app is built upon the native framework of your users’ device, the experience is usually faster, more intuitive and customisable than a standard responsive website.

Do I get a say in how my app with look?

Absolutely! At cobolt, we are driven by a holistic and collaborative approach, meaning our creative app designers will not just sit in their ivory towers commanding from on high.

Although the wireframe phase is very user data led (at the end of the day, no good having a pretty app if it doesn’t work for your users, right?) the design phase will allow you to put your mark on your app so that you can make it feel just like home!

It’s your lucky day; we do both!

If you’re looking to make your app cross-platform compatible, then look no further – our creative app development team will build you a single app that can cope with both. Using React Native, our experts will ensure that your app is both Apple and Android friendly, ensuring it gets past the strict app submission and approval phase instigated by both providers.
