We believe that engineering activities primarily fall under these stages - Ideate, Develop, Deploy, Adopt and Maintain. There are a set of tasks that are carried out to develop the custom applications. Developers Suite by 500apps comprises a list of software applications that fall under the below five stages.
During the ideation phase, you brainstorm app ideas and come up with a prototype. By using wireframes or mockups you can easily create prototypes. Creating prototypes facilitates the smooth launch of your applications from the start by ensuring that all parties, including stakeholders, developers, and users, are on the same page along with saving a lot of time.
To bridge the gap between the initial thought process and the final user-centric application development, use a wireframe tool. You can easily imagine an all-inclusive app experience from the start of the project.
