There’s been a huge surge in app development over the years, both in Australia and worldwide. But Australians really love apps. In fact, we enjoy apps more than mobile users in most other countries. Here’s a snapshot of the app market and where it’s headed:
But what does app development mean for small businesses? When should you consider developing an app?
The aim of this page is to cover some of the key questions about app development to help you decide if it’s an avenue you should go down. You may also have a business app idea and want to know what process entails.

App development is the process of creating software designed to be used on mobile or web devices. It’s a multidisciplinary field that includes app design, user experience, programming and app testing for mobile devices. The two biggest mobile app platforms are iOS (from Apple) and Android (by Google).
There are three types of apps:
App development is for businesses who offer their products and services on mobile devices. Whether you are an ecommerce clothing store or a tour company offering local excursions, mobile apps improve customer experience and give you a competitive edge to compete with big guns in the market.
Mobile has changed the way humans find information, shop, eat, bank, communicate - and even find love. We can access everything we need at the click or swipe of a finger. In a data-driven world where mobile is king, there are ample opportunities in app development for businesses to take advantage of.
The benefits of mobile app development for SMEs include:
A common question business owners ask is, “But I already have a mobile website, do I really need an app?” While an app can complement your existing business offering and facilitate growth, every business has different objectives and developing a mobile app may not be as effective for your business as it is for others.
Check out the pros and cons of mobile apps vs. mobile websites below to help you decide if it’s the right option for you:
| The benefits of mobile apps: | The benefits of web apps: |
| Better user experience and engagement | More time and cost-effective |
| Better performance and device compatibility | Greater reach capability for all users |
| Customisation | Greater brand visibility and shareability |
| Offline access | Better compatibility |
On average, 40% of people abandon a website that takes longer than three seconds to load and has a poor user experience. Any app (whether mobile or web-based) needs to be designed to a high standard with excellent user experience - at least if you want it to engage your audience.
A good app has the following qualities:
So you’ve come up with an amazing idea for an app, but what comes next? You have a few options to get your app idea off the ground?
While there are many DIY options available that don’t require you to be fluent in coding and app development, it’s sometimes best to leave app design to the experts. As you can imagine, app development is a multidisciplinary field that includes app design, user experience, programming and app testing. If you’re serious about creating an app that will support your long-term goals, make sure you carefully weigh up the pros and cons of professional vs. DIY app development.
That said, below is high-level overview of the app development process:
Building an app is exciting, but it’s important to understand the scope of work involved - especially if you’re planning on using the app to scale and grow your business. Coding, UX design, UI design and app development are just a few factors that will enable you to turn your idea into a functioning app. While some business owners have the skills, time and resources to build their own app, many also require the expertise of professional app developers.

App developers use a range of software and tools that can be cross-platform or specific to Android or iOS including:
The difference between an app developer and web developer is the product they create. App developers are experts in building mobile apps while web developers are experts in building websites. However, their skills are not exclusive to each other and can intersect.
