Unraveling the Development Timeline for Web or Mobile Apps
Knowing when you can launch your web or mobile is crucial for planning marketing
campaigns, resource management, and building hype. Timing the launch right is also
the single biggest reason why start-ups succeed.
What Determines Your App's Time to Launch?
The journey to launching an app varies greatly, influenced by factors such as app
complexity, the technology used, and the nature of the features you plan to include.

How Long Does It Take to Build a Web App compared to a Mobile App?
The development gap between web and mobile apps has decreased over the years with
technology availability. However, due to more devices and integrations, mobile apps
typically take 1.5x to 2x longer to build than web apps.
On average, how long does it take to build a web app?
The average time to build a web app is 2-6 months for a tranditional development
agency. At QuickTeam, a product studio and partner, our average time to launch is
2 weeks, leveraging decades of experience and
lean methodology to build and move faster.
Why Speed is Key in Building Software Businesses
The digital landscape is evolving faster every day, and speed has become critical
to succeed. Launching your app quickly can mean the difference between seizing a
market opportunity or falling behind competitors.
Success in Speed: The Competitive Edge
Fast-tracking development doesn't just save time; it creates opportunities. A quick
launch can capture markets, establish brand presence, and respond to user needs efficiently,
giving you a distinct competitive advantage.
How to build faster without compromising quality?
Building faster doesn't mean cutting corners. It's about leveraging the right tools
and prioritizing high impact features. The software industry has exploded with all
sorts of tools that, if chosen correctly, can help you build faster without compromising
quality.
How to choose the right tools for your app
We recommend
React
for most web apps and
React Native
for mobile apps. Both offer stability, quick development, and a large community for
support. Choosing other tools can go through a similar process of checking stability
from Github stars or brand usage, how good their documentation is, and relevance
to your app features.
How to prioritize features to build faster
Prioritizing features mainly comes down to understanding your users and their needs.
When planning for a product launch, try prioritizing to validate your solution fits
the problem you are trying to solve. Check out some our
free SaaS tools
to help you make decisions on prioritization.
How to design an app for launch
Use a pen and paper to sketch a rough wireframe of your app that includes your prioritized
features. Depending on your design skills, you can use tools like
Figma
, hire a freelance designer, or work with a product studio like QuickTeam, who help
develop and strategise all aspects of your app.
