Frequently Asked Questions
Mobile App Design & Development
How do you estimate the cost of a mobile app?
We can provide you a fixed fee estimate with our Solution Design phase.
The Solution Design phase allows us to work with you on your app idea to make it a working solution. When this initial phase is complete we provide multiple deliverables along with a project plan with a fixed fee project cost.
The cost of a mobile app depends on the features of the app, programming language and the amount of target devices.
It’s common for a mobile app to start at $15,000 for hybrid apps and $30,000 for a native app. It’s not uncommon for our clients to need multiple services from SolutionBuilt including apps, website, portals, web admin, database and web services that can put the cost range from $20,000 to 250,000+.
How long does it take to create an app?
That all depends on the number of screens and features that need to be developed. Within our Solution Design phase we put together a project plan. Depending when you approve the plan it can be as little as 30 days – 90 days. Larger apps can take 6 months to 12 months+. Most all apps will also get ongoing updates and maintenance to perfect the app overtime based on feedback and user needs.
Do I have to create a separate app for Android, iPhone, and iPad?
Yes and No. Depending on your programming language native or hybrid, you can have unique code bases for each application or a unified code base that will allow us to “Port” your hybrid application for your target devices.
Because Apple apps are not compatible with Android and vice-versa they use different operating systems, programming languages and have different screen sizes which require additional programming for the apps to render properly on your target devices. We can help you decide what the best option for your mobile app would be.
What type of apps does solutionbuilt specialize in?
We build iOS and Android apps for the enterprise, medical and media companies. We are always up for a challenge so please reach out to discuss your app needs.
Website Design & Development
How often should I redesign my website?
Generally speaking at least every 12 – 18 months you should look at redesigning your website.
If you have a need for visibility, your content should be updated as often as possible. Not only does fresh and unique content keep your visitors engaged, but it’s also great for your Search Engine Optimization.
How much do websites cost? how long does it take to create a website?
We design and develop custom websites and eCommerce solutions for companies that range in cost from $5,000 – $15,000+. Contact us for a complimentary fixed fee estimate. As a web design company, we can quickly publish a new website in as little as 2-4 weeks. Custom websites that are larger and have a lot of features can take 2-3+ months.
What’s the best language to program a website?
Your website language really depends on the required features of your website. We can help you select a language that works for your needs today and in the future. Many content oriented websites we build are on WordPress which powers 80% of the websites on the internet with a Content Management System.
What sort of website projects do you work on?
We build new websites or redesign websites for the enterprise, agencies, media, service companies and brand challengers.
New websites: Normally involves starting the branding process for logos, colors and overall tone of the content and design of the website.
Website re-designs: This is usually pretty easy and involves updating the UI, CSS, and HTML of an existing interface. A redesign project can be more difficult, as this can involve stakeholders, analytics and content strategies. As the old saying goes “measure twice, cut once”.
