    Building apps is hard... when you're distracted.

    Top awarded
    When hiring an app or web development team to build custom software, one variable matters most: are the developers fully dedicated to your success , or are you one client of many? Designli brings together designers, engineers, and business minds into on-demand, dedicated product teams that pour themselves, full-time, into the success of your app or web-app initiative. Existing as your dedicated software engineering department, we'll work together to solve your most pressing business problems with custom software. How it Works, and What We Can Build: Designli designs, develops, and launches beautiful apps and web-apps that you'll be proud to own, with a process that makes sense. Most importantly, we'll do this with a team that is assigned full-time to your project. With a step-by-step process, we'll begin by creating a clickable simulation of the User Interface of your app or website, and a development-ready backlog with each feature defined, estimated, and ready to code. Entrepreneurs use this output for fundraising. Business leaders use it for internal buy-in and market validation. When you choose to move into Development, our staff will be assigned full-time to you, and this team will be composed of the disciplines you need. Left alone, designers will create art projects. Engineers will create science fair gizmos. Business minds will create spreadsheets. Your development team will include all three, singularly focused on your success.

Frequently Asked Questions.

Balancing client requirements with Apple's design principles and best practices is a crucial skill for iOS app developers in Boston. This balance ensures that apps are not only tailored to the client's needs but also provide an optimal user experience within the iOS ecosystem. Here's how Boston-based developers typically approach this challenge:

  1. Early Client Education: Developers in Boston often start by educating clients about Apple's Human Interface Guidelines (HIG) and the benefits of adhering to these standards. This proactive approach helps align client expectations with iOS best practices from the outset.
  2. Collaborative Design Workshops: Many Boston agencies conduct collaborative workshops where developers, designers, and clients work together to create wireframes and prototypes. This process allows for real-time discussions on how to integrate client requirements within Apple's design framework.
  3. Customization Within Guidelines: Boston developers are adept at finding creative solutions that satisfy client needs while staying true to iOS design principles. They often customize UI elements and interactions in ways that feel native to iOS but still fulfill unique client requirements.
  4. Iterative Development Process: Agile methodologies are popular among Boston's iOS development teams. This iterative approach allows for frequent client feedback and adjustments, ensuring that the final product meets both client expectations and Apple's standards.
  5. Prototyping and User Testing: To validate design decisions, developers in Boston frequently create interactive prototypes. User testing sessions help demonstrate how adhering to iOS guidelines can enhance user experience, often convincing clients of the value in following Apple's best practices.
  6. Leveraging Local Tech Ecosystem: Boston's rich tech community, including institutions like MIT and Harvard, often contributes to innovative solutions. Developers tap into this ecosystem for cutting-edge ideas that can satisfy client needs while pushing the boundaries of iOS design.
  7. Continuous Learning: With Apple regularly updating its guidelines, Boston developers prioritize staying current. Many attend local iOS developer meetups and conferences to share knowledge and stay ahead of the curve.
  8. Data-Driven Decision Making: When conflicts arise between client requests and Apple's guidelines, Boston developers often turn to data. They may present case studies or conduct A/B tests to demonstrate the effectiveness of adhering to iOS standards.

By employing these strategies, iOS app developers in Boston successfully navigate the balance between meeting client requirements and adhering to Apple's design principles. This approach not only results in apps that satisfy client objectives but also ensures a high-quality, consistent user experience that aligns with the expectations of iOS users.

The iOS app development landscape in Boston is rapidly evolving, with emerging technologies playing a crucial role in shaping the future of mobile applications.

  • Tourism: Enhanced city exploration apps showcasing Boston's historic sites
  • Real Estate: Virtual property tours for Boston's competitive housing market
  • Retail: Try-before-you-buy AR features for local boutiques and major retailers
2. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML)

When it comes to iOS app development in Boston, choosing between native and cross-platform solutions is a critical decision for businesses and developers. While cross-platform development has its merits, native iOS app development offers several key advantages that are particularly relevant to the Boston tech scene:

  1. Superior Performance: Native iOS apps are built specifically for Apple devices, utilizing the full potential of the iOS operating system and hardware. This results in faster, more responsive apps that can handle complex tasks efficiently – a crucial factor for Boston's innovative tech startups and established companies alike.
  2. Enhanced User Experience: Boston users expect seamless, intuitive interfaces that follow iOS design guidelines. Native apps provide a more natural look and feel, adhering to Apple's Human Interface Guidelines, which leads to higher user satisfaction and engagement rates.
  3. Access to Latest iOS Features: With Boston being a hub for early adopters and tech enthusiasts, native iOS development allows immediate access to the latest iOS features and APIs. This means apps can leverage cutting-edge capabilities like ARKit, Core ML, and Apple Pay, which are often crucial for innovative Boston-based startups.
  4. Better App Store Optimization: Native iOS apps typically perform better in the App Store rankings, which is vital for visibility in Boston's competitive app market. They are more likely to be featured and can take full advantage of App Store optimization techniques.
  5. Robust Security: Given Boston's strong presence in sectors like finance, healthcare, and education, security is paramount. Native iOS apps can implement advanced security features more effectively, ensuring better protection of sensitive user data.
  6. Seamless Hardware Integration: For Boston companies developing IoT or hardware-integrated solutions, native iOS apps offer superior integration with device features like cameras, GPS, and sensors, which is crucial for many local industries including healthcare technology and smart city initiatives.
  7. Long-term Cost-Effectiveness: While initial development costs may be higher, native iOS apps often prove more cost-effective in the long run due to easier maintenance, updates, and scalability – an important consideration for Boston's value-conscious business ecosystem.

It's worth noting that according to a recent survey by Boston TechHub, 68% of local iOS developers prefer native development for projects requiring high performance and sophisticated user interfaces. Additionally, 72% of Boston-based companies reported higher user retention rates with native iOS apps compared to cross-platform solutions.

While cross-platform solutions have their place, especially for rapid prototyping or apps with simpler requirements, the advantages of native iOS development make it the preferred choice for many Boston companies aiming to create high-quality, performant, and feature-rich applications that stand out in the competitive New England tech market.
