Here are the steps involved in creating a pwa app from scratch:

Put your app idea on paper

Create a clear sketch of your app idea and make it tangible. You need to define how your app will work and the features your app needs to have. Do not go overboard, instead create a lean list of features that would help you come up with your Minimum Viable Product or MVP.

Conduct diligent market research

You need to carry out an in-depth market research to evaluate whether your app idea is of any value, helping you avoid making any serious mistakes. This step will help you identify competitors, potential customers and their aspirations, and the ideal business model you should adopt.

Create app prototypes

Build a mockup before you go ahead and build the actual app. One of the best tool that you can use for this is Microsoft’s Mockup Pro that offers great flexibility and a holistic overview so that you do not miss out on any details. You need not have fine grained UI elements, or accurate positioning, and the color effects or other visuals can be pretty basic as well. The idea here is for you to get clarity in terms of t app function and flow.

Design app graphics

Pay attention to the visual appeal of your app including the right resolution and sizes, graphic effects that may be needed, image assets, and animation or motion design where needed. You can use a graphic design templated service like Appy Pie’s Design Studio or hire a graphic designer, depending on your budget. It is important that your app looks professional, so do not skimp out on this step.

Create your app – the Appy Pie way!

Choose the best way to start your app without coding or any programming. The proprietary three step process of app creation from Appy Pie that takes only a few minutes. Save up on your time and money by choosing Appy Pie’s app makers where you simply enter your app name and intent, drag and drop the features and go live on app stores of your choice without burning a hole in your pocket.

Test your app

Make sure that you put the best version of your app for your users because if you skimp out on this step, you are going to pay for it, heavily. An untested app that goes live is bound to be infested with bugs and suffer multiple crashes. Alpha and beta testing your app is critical to make sure that the app doesn’t face the basic issues that may slip your attention.

Go live on app stores

Launching your app on the app stores is the most exciting part for any app developer or owner. The process to publish apps are different for different app stores and we have specialized guides for the processes that can help you out.

Market your app

Making an amazing app is not enough; you need to promote it in the right manner so that it reaches the maximum number of valuable users that fit your target group. Conduct research and find the right kind of app marketing strategies that are not just suitable for your app and budget, bit also appeal to the users you are targeting.

Get user feedback

Ask your users for your feedback because they are the most important element for your app. Simply asking them whether they like your app or not, is never going to be enough. Ask meaningful questions or better yet watch them using your app to figure out which interactions are not going as per your expectations. Keep making required changes to hone your app and improve its overall performance.

To run a successful business, it is important to take your products and offerings to the clients where they really are. The one place where every customer can be found is on their mobile screens, which is why mobile apps have come to prominence and have achieved a critical status. To start from scratch would mean serious time and money investment, and considerable resources. This is one of the reasons why small businesses or individuals with limited resources shy away from creating an app of their own.
