App developers in Chicago are widely known for the high-end services they offer. And that comes as a result of several reasons.
On the one hand, Chicago is one of the metro areas with the greatest number of 5,000 privately held companies in the US which makes it a leading hub for entrepreneurs and innovators.
On the other hand, The Windy City also ranks as one of the best cities for startups. And the greatest reason behind this is the fact that 45% of the investments in the city get 10 times higher ROI. (Inc.)
This is why Chicago, along with NYC and Dallas, is one of the top metropolitan areas with Fortune 500 companies producing the most cumulative revenue.
Serving successful companies like these, app developers in Chicago are bound to:
In addition, Chicago offers great conditions for career development, which is why it entices some of the finest experts in the nation.
According to Dice’s 2020 Tech Salary Report, Chicago ranks among the top 20 cities with the highest tech salaries.
What’s more, the city has a cost of living of 106.9% which is higher than the national average of 100%.
However, The Windy City is still less expensive than other app development hubs, and in fact, its cost of living is 36.3% lower than in NYC and 8.5% lower than in LA.
Finally, unlike all other similar specialists in the US, app developers in Chicago tend to gain experience in the locally dominant sectors like:
The core offerings of mobile app development companies in Chicago include:
Businesses should leverage the expertise of app developers in Chicago to stay on top of trends, keep their app secure and free of errors.
This will ensure an engaging user experience and contribute to customer retention.
With the help of these experts, brands can also achieve various goals like:
Once your app is fully developed, you should think about monetizing it, to generate an income.
There are a few ways to go about it and the most popular are:
The cost of mobile app development in Chicago starts at $25 and can go as high as $195 per hour, sometimes even more.
The difference in the price comes as a result of:
Another billing option is the fee per project. In this case, the cost will mostly depend on the type and complexity of the app.
App developers in Chicago may ask between $1,500 and $5,000 for a non-complex app. They might charge you between $10,000-$50,000 for a moderately complex app and as high as $50,000-$250,000+ for a quite complex application.
The Windy City is one of the biggest business hubs in the world and ranks among the largest tech employers in the US. (CompTIA)
According to KPMG’s annual Global Technology Innovation report, Chicago has jumped to 13th place, sitting alongside tech-hub cities such as Berlin and Frankfurt.
With many global tech companies headquartered in Chicago, there has been a large surge in technological innovation within developers, who develop apps and software for different operating systems like Android and iOS.
App developers in Chicago are widely known for their high-end services and innovation capacities which allow them to deliver internationally competitive products.
In addition, living and operating in the area, they have acquired deep expertise in the locally dominant sectors. So, they can particularly deliver successful projects for businesses and clients in those fields.
Take the following steps to make the search for the best mobile app development company in Chicago easier:
Ask each prospective mobile app development company in Chicago the following questions:
There isn’t an easy answer to this, as it depends on the complexity of the project, the outcome and the purpose of the app.
However, if the app development companies in Chicago have all their information and components together, along with a framework it can be four to six months.
Make sure you ask about the deadline and how they will make sure everything is delivered by the set date.
The features and functionalities within your app are going to drive the app’s operations. Most importantly, it should be easy to use from a navigation perspective, as well as offer a unique experience.
The cost depends on the scale and function of your app. However, make sure you ask about a price estimate to understand which of these agencies can fit your budget.
It may seem like an obvious point to make, but it’s an important factor. The prospective agency should be more than obliged to show you apps they’ve already built since this is one of the best ways you can tell if you’ll get a good return on your investment.
Another wise move to make, to ensure a similar app experience, is to ask the mobile app development company in Chicago to tell you how highly the apps they’ve built have ranked in the app stores, or if they’ve been featured.
If you do find they have built more than one app similar to yours, in terms of functionality, purpose and industry relevance, ask if you can speak to previous clients.
This will help you understand how the agency handled the relationship during the process.
It goes without saying, no matter how good the app development companies in Chicago are, essentially, they can’t develop the app without input from you since it’s your vision, after all.
This means no wireframes, prototypes or finished apps without your input.
There will be several versions created before the finished product, so your involvement is a necessity during the project management.
Think about scheduling meetings, calls and testing prototype sessions- ask your potential partner for time frames.
Successfully getting your finished app to appear in an app store is a long and overwhelming process.
The best app development companies in Chicago should guide you through the submission process; after all, you expect them to have done this numerous times before for other clients, but it also goes beyond just the submission process.
Look for developers that have a well-defined policy of how they handle client’s app releases. After successful submission to a marketplace, your partner should monitor its performance continuously.
After the app goes live in the app marketplace, the job doesn’t stop there. It will require:
So, your app developers in Chicago should work with you to come up with an app support and maintenance program. Whether that’s an hourly rate for one-off updates or a monthly fee for a continuous support system.
Most businesses partner with app developers in Chicago because they deliver internationally competitive products.
And they manage to do that by:
App development companies in Chicago also have experience in the locally dominant industries like financial services, engineering, publishing and food processing.
The cost of their services starts at $25 per hour.
To choose the best company for your business needs make sure you:
Best of luck!
