“App Designs were great to work with. We set out with Crumlin Children’s hospital to design an App that would help patients with Cystic Fibrosis to better manage their complex treatment on an ongoing basis. We have had a very positive response since we made the App available and we can fully attest to the professionalism of App Design who made this project possible. We are now expanding the App to other CF hospital centres because of patient demand.”

“We choose App Design due to their in-depth knowledge of App development and experience working with top Irish companies. Their straight talking approach to our project helped us clearly define the objectives of our App and ensure we were delivering the right features to our customers. The OCR technology that App Design provided for our app is second to none, they worked to ensure all cards could be read easily and most importantly accurately by the app. We were delighted with the development and project team at every stage of the project and look forward to our next project together.”

What is app design?
So you’ve taken the plunge and decided to design an app but now you’re stuck wondering what next or where do I go from here? Well, worry no more because we’ve got you covered! Before we dive into the world of techno-jargon and confusion for the uninitiated, let’s take a moment to ask what is app design? And what is involved in getting started?
If we break things down in very broad layman’s terms, app designers are the ones in charge of making an app look good with all the shiny bells and whistles. These guys design every aspect of what you see within the app, the Vincent van Gogh and Leonardo da Vinci of the app designing world if you will. Whereas the developers are the ones who connect all the dots and make all the shiny bells and whistles actually work.
App design embodies both the user experience or UX and the user interface or UI, the designers or artists if you will; are tasked with the duty of creating the elegance and style of the app itself - this included but is not limited to the colour scheme, font selection & size, not forgetting the widgets and buttons the User will interact with. So the only question that remains is, where do you start? At the beginning of course.
Without risking biting off more than we can chew, let’s first discuss the different platforms and which you should design your app for. When starting off it’s common to be unsure as to which is the right choice for your purposes, as the saying goes, work with what you know. If you’re using a Samsung, Sony, Motorola, OnePlus, LG, Huawei or almost any brand that isn’t iPhone then design for Android. If you have an iPhone then you will be designing an app for iOS, but what about both you ask? This is called react native app design and as most developers will recommend its best to design the app for both. With a staggering 2.5 billion Android devices and 1.8 billion iOS devices currently active, it is better to hedge one's bets and go for both.
The next app design question you may ask is possibly the most difficult to answer, which company do I partner with to design and develop my app? It is critical to pick a versatile app design company in view of their experience and capacity to adjust the objectives of the application with your business objectives.
4 tips for choosing the right app designers
1. Survey their portfolio
Perhaps the earliest thing that a business ought to see while contrasting versatile app designers is their portfolio. The portfolio ought to incorporate features of the best versatile application advancement tasks to provide clients with an outline of what the designer is prepared to do and what you can expect when you put resources into an administration.
A portfolio ought to likewise list significant abilities that the designer has, like fantastic U/UV abilities which are fundamental for versatile application advancement. On the off chance that there is still vulnerability subsequent to evaluating the portfolio, ask the engineer for references from past clients.
2. Don’t let price take the steering wheel
Most organizations don't have a boundless measure of cash to spend on custom programming application advancement. Nonetheless, while it is essential to think about a spending plan, a business ought to never pick a mobile app designer in view of cost alone. Recruiting a certified app designer might be a speculation, however great quality can include some significant price points.
Picking an unpracticed or sub-par app designer could bring about issues down the line and the business might even have to re-try the app totally. By picking the ideal individual from the beginning, organizations can keep away from this exorbitant problem and procure a fantastic application the initial time around
3. Consider The Whole Picture
While recruiting an app designer, the eventual outcome might seem like the main component. Notwithstanding, considering the undertaking as a whole is significant. Regardless of whether a portable application engineer can convey a decent last task, the excursion getting to the furthest limit of the cycle might be filled with issues.
Notwithstanding the genuine coding, a decent app designer ought to give great correspondence, focus on the plan and give reports on the advancement of the work. The app design company ought to likewise keep giving updates and fixes to bugs after the send-off of the app.
4. Pick Someone Interested In Your Business
While some app designers center exclusively around the development process itself with little thought to the business or industry, others carve out opportunities to get to truly know the organization. Finding out about the business and its objectives is basic to making an effective versatile app.
Whenever app designers comprehend the business, they can give an imaginative understanding and direction. Also, a designer might have worked with different organizations in similar industries and will frequently realize what works and what doesn't. This experience can be profoundly important during application advancement
