# Application Development

https://www.mecexis.com/en/services/application-development/

Mobile application design and custom development, with a clear strategy from prototype to launch.

## Custom applications, with product vision

Design and development from the beginning

An app puts your business in your users’ pockets, always at hand. That’s why app consulting begins before building: we define what problem it solves, for whom and how it fits into the business. We design the essential journeys and prepare the integrations so the app connects to the data and services you already have.

We have developed applications for sports entities, startups and companies. We have been working with Flutter since 2018 and adapt each project to its users, devices and connected services.

## From Idea to App Stores

Our **app design and development** process combines **app consulting**, **prototyping**, and iterative development. We validate before building to minimize risks and maximize results.

### Mobile consulting and strategy

We review the problem, the users and the business model. We identify the hypotheses that need to be tested and the technical dependencies.

### Prioritize the product

We specify the routes and functionalities of the first version according to utility, cost and available information.

### Test navigation

We prepare prototypes to review the routes before developing them and identify usability questions.

### Design the screens

Mobile app design combines UX/UI, accessibility, and brand identity. We define screens and interactions that help users complete their goals.

### Develop and test

We work in cycles with defined deliverables, to check that we are heading in the right direction. Each version is validated in a test environment before it is published. The cadence and scope of each delivery are agreed upon according to the project.

### Prepare for launch

We take care of publishing in the stores and meeting their requirements, subject to their review. We also handle later support and improvements, with the scope defined in the proposal.

## A team for the entire product

Design and technology decisions made together

Designers and developers share the project from the start, and we also build the system behind it, not just the app: one piece, built by the same team.

We design every app for real-world use. If it loses coverage, it saves what it needs and catches up on its own. It runs smoothly on older phones, and every notification opens its own content, not the home screen.

Our experience includes sports apps such as the ACB's, which keep evolving after launch.

## Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to the most common questions about **application design and development**.

Everything You Need to Know Before You Start

### Do you offer design and development?

Yes. We can work on the definition of the product, the design, the development and the implementation. The proposal specifies the phases and the subsequent maintenance.

### How do you assess the viability of the idea?

We review the problem, users, and dependencies. We can propose prototypes or a first version to test hypotheses. Commercial viability cannot be guaranteed before testing the proposal.

### What does the design include?

In app design, we define the user journeys, navigation and screens included in the project. We also agree on any prototypes and user testing needed.

### Can I see the app before it is developed?

A navigable prototype allows you to review the main screens and journeys. It does not replace functional application or integration testing.

### How much does it cost to develop an app?

It depends on the functionalities, platforms and connected services. After specifying the scope, we prepare a proposal with the phases and the expected investment.

### How much time does it take?

We define the schedule based on scope and dependencies. Content preparation, service accesses, and store reviews can also affect the launch.

### Can changes be made during development?

Yes. We assess each change and its impact on scope, cost, and schedule before incorporating it.

### Do you need one app for iOS and another for Android?

No. We work with Flutter, with a single codebase for Android and iOS: the app is developed once and every improvement reaches both stores at the same time.

### What does Mecexis contribute to the project?

As an app development agency, we bring design, backend and app development together in one team, which makes it easier to make decisions about the product as a whole. We bring experience with Flutter since 2018 and custom integrations.

> Turning an idea into an app takes more strategy than code. We support clients from product definition to publication in the stores. We don’t just write code: we design mobile solutions that make commercial and technical sense.
