1) Start with a well-thought-out plan
It’s difficult to develop an application that appeals to your customer base when you don’t have a solid plan in place from start. Users expect intuitive designs from their apps, which means you should create wireframes at least (and use tools like Balsamiq or Axure RP to mock up a prototype). Don’t get too caught up in details, but it pays off to make sure you are thinking about how a user might go about doing something before writing any code or even designing your screens – once users start using your product they may ask for features that are completely different than what you had in mind! Some great places to find inspiration include visual design communities such as Dribbble (make sure they share their source files!) or Behance.
2) Define your ideal customer
With any new project, it’s important to start by identifying who your ideal customer is (and is not). Not only does that help you create an experience that resonates with them but also it helps drive decision-making during development; maybe a client demands a feature that doesn’t fit with your target audience? To define your target audience, be sure to look at demographics like age and gender but don’t forget to also consider psychographics such as values or goals.
3) Keep an eye on product priorities
At any given point in time, each piece of code you write has a purpose or use case that ties into your company’s broader mission. Make sure you keep an eye on those priorities to ensure they stay aligned with your overall goals as a business. The most common pitfall I see is companies getting sidetracked by bugs or short-term projects that don’t tie into their long-term vision; these distractions can have a huge negative impact on productivity over time and make it difficult to achieve company goals effectively.
4) Get plenty of feedback
Launching a new product or service into any market is risky—the greater your risk, the more potential reward you’ll have to play with if things go well (or potentially more to lose if they don’t). Taking time to validate your idea before launch is important; don’t be afraid to crowdsource feedback from potential customers on your products through websites like SurveyMonkey or Kickerstarter. It’s important to remember that validation takes many forms; it isn’t just about surveys and feedback forms. Make sure you actively collect as much information as possible during each stage of development in order to uncover any flaws or problems with design early on in order to adjust accordingly before they snowball out of control.
5) Build quality in
No one wants to be known as that crappy software company. It’s just not a good reputation to have. So when you’re developing your product, think of ways that you can build quality into your product from day one. It won’t happen overnight, but building quality will help mitigate any future problems you may run into later on down the road. Consider these two things: How much time do you want to spend supporting your application? Do users need to be able to use it at all times with limited technical know-how?
