Budget

In terms of budget, I would like to look initially at the cost of developing the app itself. I aim to keep the service solely available as an application at first, with the potential to expand online if there is a demand to do so. This should keep costs down as the price to host a website can become costly. In the future development of the concept I would like to see a sister app being developed that could be connected to individual accounts. This would allow parents / guardians / carers to be an admin, enabling them to set and monitor various tasks from a completely different device.

How much will it cost?

When searching on the web to find information about the rough cost to develop an app I came across a website that claimed to give me an estimation. The final figure it came up with was rather large and more substantial than I first expected so I decided to look into this further.

HOW IS A MOBILE APP DEVELOPMENT TEAM SET UP?

A successful team should include:

  • A designer who creates all the visual content that will be coded into the project
  • An account manager who acts like a liaison for clients and works with product managers and producers to coordinate the completion of different tasks
  • A product manager who executes the functions of a director by overseeing the app
