The mobile world today is bursting with apps and for a good reason. Apps not only enhance functionality and make things easier for your customers. They allow your brand to be constantly visible to those who have the app, are a direct marketing channel, and they improve customer engagement.
Internet marketing companies from all over the DC area have been busy over the past few years building apps for a variety of companies from around the world, many of whom started out trying to build the apps themselves. If you are considering not hiring a mobile app developer in Washington DC and are choosing to “go it alone,” here are some things you should know:
Application Building Sites Are Easy, But…
For businesses who are on a tight budget, hiring a mobile app developer may seem like an unnecessary expense. Application building sites on the web are less expensive than hiring a developer. These sites are:
- User friendly
- Able to provide faster time to market than hiring app developers
They also provide business owners with complete creative control over how their app will appear, function, and what it will offer.
But there is a catch: the tools which are available to you through these free sites are extremely limited. This can significantly hinder the functionality of your app, your ability to customize it, and in some instances, it can actually hurt your brand reputation.
