So, you have an awesome idea and you’ve decided to develop a mobile app? That’s definitely the right step: the mobile app market is growing each day (don’t just take our word for it, follow this link for some market research from Flurry) so let’s not delay, the sooner you get it out there, the sooner you can get Users and generating revenue!
One of the first considerations is which platform you should choose for your app.
Many of our clients start with one or other in order to reduce the complexity and cost of development. It also means that they can watch how the users react to the app and if any enhancements and improvements are required they’re changing one platform rather than two.
At Webcarving we create native iOS and Android apps that work seamlessly on phones, tablets and wearables. We specialise in client-server app development, but we don’t limit ourselves to those, so we do all types of apps except games (our rule is that we only do what we do best).
The location of your target users might determine the platform — Android is much more popular in Asia and Africa while iOS is dominant in the US and particularly in urban areas like Los Angeles, New York City, Chicago and Miami.
Overall Android has 71% of the market compared to Apple which accounts for 23% but the IOS environment is generally considered to provide a better user experience than Android.
Their users spend more time using apps, rate their experience higher, retain them on their device for longer and most importantly spend more on apps than Android users. One of the main reasons for this is that each iOS app has to pass a strict Apple review process and should conform to a large number of Apple review guidelines so while the pay-back may be quicker, this process can be frustrating, especially if this is your first app project and you are desperate to get it out there and see people using it.
The publishing process is much easier on the Android platform, but probably for that reason there are more apps available in the Play Store meaning it’s likely to be harder to get your app noticed.
In summary, unless you are determined to launch both platforms at the same time there is no a simple answer which platform to do first. Both platforms have pros and cons.
We specialise in php programming language for the backend which is an Industry standard modular platform. It has wide variety of frameworks that we can use for nearly for every task we face during web development which can drastically reduce the time and cost of development.
Magento, Shopify, Opencart, Prestashop offers modular features such as shipping and payment options and Discounts and reviews helps to finish e-commerce apps in timely manner. We strive to deliver a secure e-commerce portal and design which gives our client’s business more room for expansion.
Laravel, Wordpress, Joomla has wide variety of plugins we can use for CMS development which can drastically reduce the time and cost. Our content management experts accelerate a plan of action by taking advantage of robust flexibility and core functionality of respective CMS.
If you need to present thousands of articles, audio or video files, We can cope with that easily.
In choosing PHP for your app project we are in good company; sites like AirBnb, Ask.fm, GitHub, Basecamp, Bloomberg, Dribbble and thousands of others have already chosen PHP as a reliable solution.
Isn’t it irritating when your favorite app stops working as expected? Did you ever remove it for that reason? Do you ever un-install bug-ridden apps rather than give them a second chance? Most of users would answer yes.
Every project is carefully checked by our QA team and we use a robust testing regime built around your app ensuring the team can focus on building great features instead of playing whack-a-mole with bugs.
Our QA engineers have a perfect understanding of every major mobile platform and browser and will do load testing and help to find potential drawbacks and bottlenecks.

Nowadays the market is extremely competitive and while an exceptional
design can lead to millions of downloads, just a decent one can
bring you nearly zero. Until a user tries the app, his opinion is based
solely on the design, so the UI (User Interface) and UX (User eXperience)
design should be really, really appealing to give your app a chance to show
what it does.
Our experienced UI/UX developers understand this phenomenon thoroughly and hence we create a custom
design for each website that we built to ensure that we come up with a more personalized, result-oriented,
branded user interface to offer the most intuitive & interactive user experience.
Design is an integral part of our full software development cycle. Our frontend team work closely with developers to achieve the best efficiency of work and its results for you. Crafting superior web template and compelling UI to build interactive application that will enhance your business. We understands the factors to use powerful technologies to justify the design like HTML5, angular,Vue.js, react.js, node.js, bootstrap and many more.
