Create an App Without Coding Knowledge
Have you ever had an app idea that you would love to make, but you don't have the coding knowledge to turn that idea into reality? Well luckily, there are plenty of services out that can help you make your idea a fully functioning app. You could even make a lot of money too!
Steps
- Research your app idea! You do not want to make an app that has lots of competition so you can increase your chances of making money. Try a Google search, as well as searching the App Store (Apple), and Google Play (Android) for competition.
- Refine your app idea. Before contacted developers, make sure you have all the wrinkles ironed out, and you know what you want your app idea to do! Defining your concept is the first step towards success. Everything that comes next, from deciding on an app builder vs a developer or an agency, or, which features you are going to add to your project and how you will communicate around it, it all depends on that first crucial step, so, take your time.
- Find a good fit for your idea! You want a developer whose skills are ideal for your app idea. There are plenty of services on the internet where you can hire a freelance app developer. Remember, these developers will be an out of pocket expense for you, however, that could be worth it. Keep in mind that apps can cost anywhere from $5,000 to $150,000.
- Since freelance developers are expensive, you could try other options. Options where you submit your app ideas allows the company to take all the risks of paying for development and bringing it to market. This also means that the company will make revenue from the idea. Or you can choose to be in charge of your project from A to Z and go with a DIY platform that will provide you with all the tools to build your app without having to write a single line of code. You will have access to themes, modules, connectors and templates to craft your app exactly as you wish.
- Once your idea is developed, you will have to take care of support for the app. The scenarios here will depend on the choice you made before. Companies where you submit your app idea will usually take care of support tickets, and future app upgrades.Working with a freelancer, you will probably have to take care of support tickets yourself (or pay someone to do that) and you will have to pay the freelancer for future app upgrades. Instead, with app building platforms, you remain the owner of your app, dealing with your users first hand, but with the support of a skilled tech team every step of the way, publishing regular product updates to ensure outstanding service, fixing problems and bugs and with no additional costs.
- Consider your options! Different options are better for different people. Choose one that works for you!
