What does it take to create a mobile app to succeed on a highly competitive e-commerce market?

Do you remember a few years ago we used to hear this catchy phrase “Yep, there is an app for that!”. It was about the novelty of mobile apps. Well, today with several million mobile apps in the world, you don’t hear it anymore.

The days of that mantra are over. These days, a mobile app is a vehicle for an e-commerce business to reach out its customers on mobile and improve their user experience. There is just no other way around it - every app project requires a long-term marketing strategy to succeed on a highly competitive landscape.

“I think it’s very interesting topic because what is design? Is design a visual element, is design how you think about it, the user experience." 

"A lot of the times you don’t really understand what it is that you are building until sometimes you see it"

"Specification and the detail behind every feature is key to make sure things won’t get lost in translation.”
