Building a mobile app is exciting, but the path from idea to successful product requires careful planning and execution. Here’s the process we follow at Rojas Consulting to ensure our clients’ apps are built for success.

Phase 1: Discovery and Validation

Before writing any code, we validate the idea and define the scope.

Key activities:

  • User research and competitor analysis
  • Feature prioritization with MoSCoW method
  • Technical feasibility assessment
  • MVP scope definition

Phase 2: Design and Prototyping

Design isn’t just about looks—it’s about creating an intuitive user experience.

Deliverables:

  • User flow diagrams
  • Wireframes for all screens
  • Interactive prototype for testing
  • Visual design system

Phase 3: Technical Architecture

A solid architecture is crucial for long-term success.

Decisions we make:

  • Cross-platform vs native development
  • Backend architecture (serverless vs traditional)
  • Database selection
  • Third-party integrations

Phase 4: MVP Development

We build the MVP in 2-week sprints with regular demos.

Our approach:

  • Start with core features only
  • Implement analytics from day one
  • Automated testing for critical paths
  • Continuous deployment pipeline

Phase 5: Launch and Iterate

Launch is just the beginning. Real learning starts when users interact with your app.

Post-launch activities:

  • Monitor crash reports and performance
  • Analyze user behavior with analytics
  • Gather and prioritize user feedback
  • Plan iteration cycles

Scaling Considerations

As your app grows, you’ll face new challenges:

  • Performance: Optimize database queries, implement caching
  • Infrastructure: Scale your backend to handle increased load
  • Team: Establish code standards and review processes
  • Monitoring: Implement comprehensive logging and alerting

Our Track Record

We’ve helped startups like InDoor and Beme go from concept to successful products serving thousands of users. Our systematic approach ensures that apps are not just built quickly, but built to last.
