You’ve had the lightbulb moment and have an idea for an app. What now?

Let’s say you don’t have enough resources to create it yourself. You need to hire an agency. How can you determine who you should choose and what you bring to the table?

With more than ten year of experience and Creative27 winning the Best Digital Agency for Innovation and App Design award in 2016, we feel we have the expertise to help app idea holders.

Turning your idea into a plan

You must have a plan before you approach an agency to make your idea a reality. Although we receive many requests, we limit the amount of work that we accept.

It is difficult for us to create your app if you don’t have a clear idea of how it will look.

Although you might not be technically savvy, you should at least know the basics.

* Create your feature list. What is the point of your app? What problem does it solve and how do you solve it? 

* Market research: What else is available, is there a demand? 

* Identify your audience/users – Who will your app benefit and what is their demographic? 

* Identify your monetization strategy. How are you going to make money with your app? 

* Make a sketch/wireframe and then put it on paper. This will allow you to visualize how it might look.

Find the right agency to create your app

It’s now time to find an agency that will help you bring your app idea into reality. Although we could easily choose Creative27’s award-winning team, it is important to make a firm decision and not make a decision on the spur of the moment.

Here are some things to watch out for:

An agency where you can vibe with 

It can be similar to finding the right app designer agency. There will be disagreements and you should trust that they can see the good in you, even when you tell them things you don’t like.

Expertise and knowledge 

Many app agencies offer a wide range of marketing services in Phoenix. You should look for someone with a proven track record and proof that they have succeeded in achieving the results you are looking for. You should look for industry analogies and someone who can assist with all aspects of the process, from app development through to marketing. You can’t just take one piece of the puzzle.

Someone you trust 

After you have made your decision, it is time to put some faith in them. You should feel confident that they will take care of your idea if you have properly qualified them.
