The world of mobile apps has exploded in the past few years as more and more consumers adopt mobile technology. While tablet computers get a lot of the press, smartphones are still the primary device for most people. If you really want to reach those masses, you need a smartphone app. What’s more, you need an iPhone app. Android is growing and does compete for market share, but Apple’s iPhone is still a powerhouse, particularly in many emerging international markets.

Designing and developing your own iPhone app lets you tap into that phenomenal global growth. Of course, it’s not as simple as just deciding to “go for it”. You’ll have to put in some hard work here. Designing and developing an app is no walk in the park.

Before we get into the nuts and bolts of the design and development process, understand that you don’t have to go it alone here. If you have the idea, the core concept, and functionality for your app, you can partner with an experienced app designer like OpenXcell to bring that app to fruition.

Yes, it does mean extra costs, but you might be surprised at just how low those costs are, and how high the quality of your finished app can be. Working with a pro is the best (and most common) way for someone from a non-tech background to design and develop a popular, stable iPhone app.
