Let's bring your
Android App to life.

Great ideas need a great plan.

We think your App idea is great.

We have no doubt that it would be used heavily by families looking to get away from the grotty weather and enjoy a day in the sun. 

We understand you've had this idea for about 18 months but have struggled with freelance developers who didn't produce results.

Well, as an experienced agency, RELAX; this is our bread and butter.

Your Android App


features overview

The main feature of your app is allowing users to see the closest place to them with sunny weather. All other features will be set to support that.

DEVELOPMENT

There are a number of features that will need to be developed to make the app functional and provide a solid user experience:

1 | Sign up

2 | Login

3 | Onboarding

4 | Geolocation tracking

5 | Maps integration 

6 | Link to Google Maps

We will draw up a more detailed specification if the costs are acceptable to you.

The Process & Timescales

The total time of getting your app from concept to the Google Play Store is approximately 12 weeks. The process is outlined below.

Week 1  |  Detail Specification

We know the rough plan and what the app needs to do. We will have a detailed discussion and nail this down. 


Week 2  |  design & flow

Next, we'll get working on what's known as wireframes. These are basically pencil drawings of your app. We do this so we (yourself and us) can focus on the structure and flow of the app rather than worrying about colours and styles. 

Once we have this agreed, we start to add colour and the branding.


Week 3  |  PLAY store registration

We will likely do this sooner but it won't be done any later than this stage.

Weeks 4 - 9  |  development

At this point, we go quiet and just get on with making it.

The spec is nailed down, the design and screens are all agreed, it's just a small case of "making it work".  (If only it were always that easy!)


Week 10  |  testing

Testing is vital. People rarely give an app a second chance. We test vigorously. Not just whether button A does what it's supposed to, but testing on other people. It's about making sure that everything works as it should and that the natural flows we want to occur are natural to random people the first time they play with it.


Week 11  |  store submission

When we're ready and you're happy, we submit it to the Google Play Store. We will help you prepare all the marketing material needed like screenshots and descriptions for the listing. If there are any issues, we will refine them and re-submit until we get approval. 

Case Study  |  ABC Software

Client needs

ABC Software had a custom CRM solution built but found they needed an Android App to help their sales team keep from forgetting information between meetings and the office.

Proposed Solution

We suggested interviewing the sales team to work out what functions of the system they would need access to while they were out and about. This would mean we could build a simple version that did everything they wanted to and nothing they didn't.

Result

It took 12 weeks to get a working version live but the results were immediate; with sales team representatives documenting details at the time they were happening and the secure storage meaning, no details were lost when it came back to implementing orders back at the office.

They were also using the functionality to set call reminders and receiving these on their phones even when in the field. 

This lead to each member of the sales team hitting their target goals for the first time in over a year. 

ABC Software had this to say:

"It's paid for itself already.
The sales team love it and all agree it makes them a lot more productive."

pricing made simple

"It's paid for itself already"

The Real Cost

There's the amount of money changing hands during this transaction, then there's what we call "The Real Cost". 

I wanted to point out a few ways you can profit from this App:

1  |  Paid listings based on intent from your users.

2  |  Advertising based on location

3  |  Build to sell - Build this with the idea to sell it to a weather website like Weather.com or MetCheck.com 

Your Guarantee

We have a deal that no-one can beat.

Like with any business purchase, there's risk attached.
We want to remove that risk from you and place it on ourselves.

Here's how it works

The entire purpose of this project is to create the app and get it into the app store, exactly as you imagined. So, if your app doesn't get approved in the Google Play Store...then you don't pay. 

Yes. Really.  We don't achieve what we said we would, then you don't pay.

pretty good right?

(b) No Intellectual Property Infringement by Company. The Company represents to the Developer and unconditionally guarantees that any elements of text, graphics, photos, designs, trademarks, or other artwork furnished to the Developer for inclusion in the Website are owned by the Company, or that the Company has permission from the rightful owner to use each of these elements, and will hold harmless, protect, indemnify, and defend the Developer and its subcontractors from any liability (including attorneys’ fees and court costs), including any claim or suit, threatened or actual, arising from the use of such elements furnished by the Company.

(c) Continuing Ownership of Existing Trademarks.

The Developer shall not apply for, acquire, or claim any right, title, or interest in or to any such service marks, trademarks, or trade names, or others that may be confusingly similar to any of them, through advertising or otherwise.
