Mobile App Prototyping

Everyone has got a great mobile app idea, but it’s quite challenging to do market research and raise funds for your app idea.

At Appomate, we understood that this a common problem faced by app entrepreneurs so we designed an approach called See It Before You Build It (SB4UB).

(SB4UB) helps app entrepreneurs get a visual representation of how the app will look before even developing it.

How SB4UB helps to develop a better mobile app with market research?

• Helps you better understand your customers
• Know about your competitors and find how they approach the market
• Test your product before launch
• Take user feedback and incorporate in the development cycle

How raising funds for your mobile app can easier with SB4UB?

Most of us approach mobile app development companies to get development estimation. The development cost in most parts of Australia especially in Melbourne, Sydney might vary anywhere from $50,000 to $500,000 to build your app idea.

But we know it’s difficult for a bootstrapped app startup to raise funds to build the app.  When you have a validated app idea, you are in a dire need to get the app in front of your audience and get user feedback for iteration.

With SB4UB raising funds for your app startup becomes easy.

But how to go about it?

At Appomate, we’ve helped a number of mobile app entrepreneurs take their simple app idea and turn it into a successful app startup using SB4UB approach.

See It Before You Build It (SB4UB) is a 4-6 week process where our Appomate’s development team works together closely with the app entrepreneurs. During this process, we come up with app documentation, app prototyping – replicating the app screens. We then use these assets to build an application prototype that can be used to raise capital for your app startup from investors, apply for government grants or use for marketing purposes.

We call this “See It Before You Build It” (SB4UB)

The process is simple. We work with each prospective “app-renuer” to develop a Business Requirement Document which outlines how the app will work, each feature specifications, create wireframes. We also develop actual app screens that will be used within the app once it’s completed. This helps the app entrepreneurs to get a perspective of how their app will look like and also gives them a fair estimation of mobile app development.

These items are necessary when creating an app.  Building an app is analogous to building a house, See It Before You Build It (SB4UB) steps are very similar to creating building blueprints, plumbing and electrical wiring information, home’s interior designing, etc.

Without these necessities, it would be ill-advised to start with the construction process like nailing wood, pouring concrete, etc. This shows the significance of starting your app idea with the SB4UB process.

The process most commonly takes 4-6 weeks, and many of our clients have been successful taking their app idea to the next level after raising funds via online marketing campaigns, government rebates, crowdfunding or attracting investment partners.

You’ve decided to build an App… Great!

Now there are a couple of different ways you can start building your App – App documentation is the first step.

I’m sure some of your friends, colleagues must have advised you to attend a workshop to learn about building apps, take online courses, how to make money from them and what platforms to build them. But if you’re serious about building an app you probably understand the basic concepts as to how to go about it.

Some of your entrepreneur friends might have even advised you to get some investors on board. But you know investors don’t invest money on something which is just an “idea”, they’ll need to see something tangible. Investors are always on the lookout for a well researched, validated app idea that has a product-market fit and scalability.

For example, take the real estate projects, people don’t start the building process unless they have a solid building plan and some documentation on how to build it.

Similarly, with the apps let’s save the time by making the right move. Let’s take the “first step” towards developing the app idea, and that means app documentation.

At Appomate we help you start with documenting the app functions, needs, and scope for your app. We do this for free of charge so that you can show the documentation to investors and get your app idea – a validated cost estimate to built it.

That’s Right, For FREE!

Proper documentation will allow you to show investors, explain it to business partners, apply for government grants and most importantly in future there won’t be any surprises while you are getting a quote from anywhere because it’s all in the documentation.

So don’t waste your valuable time attending workshops or taking advice from people. Remember investors will be interested in your app idea only if they can see some tangible results.
