Possible pitfalls that every new app developer should avoid

Eazi-Apps Support • 17 November 2017

The mobile app market has grown rapidly over the last two decades and as of 2016, there have been over 149 billion app downloads across major digital marketplaces like Google Play Store and Apple’s App Store. This number is predicted to increase over the coming years as industry penetration becomes easier thanks to the development of more accessible app development software. If you’re planning on joining the app game by taking advantage of our app business opportunity, here are some common mistakes to avoid.

Overcomplicated apps

It can be easy for promising app developers and eager company owners to draw up huge plans for a multifaceted app that incorporates a huge list of features and functions but it’s very important not to get ahead of yourself. Think clearly about what service you’re trying to provide and refine your ideas into one simplistic concept. Extra apps and features can always be added at a later stage.

No target market

Knowing your target audience and how to appeal to them is vital when trying to market your app. Many app development companies make the mistake of creating generic marketing material that does not cater to the core demographic that their app is aimed towards. Think about who your app is designed for and focus on appealing to that section of the market.

Ignoring feedback

It can be hard for anyone to take criticism, especially if you have spent a lot of time and effort creating something you’re proud of. However, if you want your app to succeed in such a competitive market it is important to read and interoperate feedback from users. It is easy to miss certain things during the development process and no app is perfect on release so be sure to keep up to date with consumer feedback so you know how to improve or change your app.

Lack of updates

The worst thing an app developer can do is publish an app, hope that it is successful and turn their focus away from it as soon as it hits the market. Performing regular updates and redesigns based on consumer feedback is vital to extending the lifespan of your product and increasing user satisfaction.

No originality

Although this is not a mistake specific only to the app industry, it’s still important to learn from. Generating original ideas and creative concepts is arguably the most important part of creating successful apps. Not only does it ensure legal safety and reduce the risk of intellectual property disputes, it will help your brand stand out amongst the millions of other apps on the market.

You will also need to create a brand, develop marketing collateral, design a website, find customers, and develop a range of new skills. You will most likely have to hire a team of experts to help you get started.

Your homepage is your agency’s first handshake. If it’s unclear, cluttered, or generic—you’re losing potential clients in seconds. Here's what your homepage actually needs to convert visitors into leads. 1. A Headline That Tells Them What You Do “Helping local businesses grow with mobile apps and digital tools.” Make it specific, client-focused, and benefit-driven. If it could apply to anyone, it applies to no one. 2. A Strong Subheadline That Builds Trust “Trusted by 1,000+ entrepreneurs across 20 countries.” This is your social proof shortcut. Numbers work. So do logos and testimonials. 3. A Visual That Shows the Result Use mockups, screenshots, or lifestyle photos. Help visitors see what they’ll get—a mobile app, a dashboard, a website, a client smiling. 4. A Short List of Benefits (Not Features) Launch your digital presence fast No tech skills required Support and tools included Keep it tight. Think “what’s in it for me?” from the client’s point of view. 5. A Clear Call to Action (CTA) “Book a free call” “Get your launch pack” “See what’s possible” CTAs should stand out visually and be repeated 2–3 times on the page. 6. A Simple Contact Form or Button Make it easy to get in touch or book. Remove friction. Don’t ask for more than name, email, and one question. Pro tip: You don’t need to design from scratch. The Eazi-Business Business-in-a-Box gives you ready-made homepage templates with proven structure, persuasive copy blocks, and branding flexibility.  Use our pre-built website framework to launch with confidence and convert faster.
