1. Creating Sketch your business application idea
The importance of ideas should not be overestimated. Creating an application that works well is often more important than finding the perfect idea. The idea alone will not determine the success of your application. You know the adage, “A good sketch is worth a thousand words”.
So do not hesitate to make a sketch of what you have in mind, it will help you lay out your idea. This step also has the advantage of not requiring any special tools, a pencil and paper are enough. The sketch will help you define the organization and list the features or characteristics of your application.
However, even if it is tempting, avoid falling into the pitfall of an application with too many features. Always keep in mind the simplification of the user experience. Too many features can complicate the use, confuse the user and therefore hide the main functionality. So make sure that your application does only a few things but does them well.
Therefore, it is important to weigh the pros and cons of the desired features and ask yourself which features you can omit. Generally, features can be grouped into 2 groups that some call “Must Haves” and “Nice to haves”. The first are those that your application cannot do without app design Dubai and the second are those that add value but are not essential.
