We put your app’s security first
Applications may be tested for security by attempting to introduce flaws. The number of flaws introduced reduces significantly when developers are trained in security-related topics such as secure coding and regular security testing.

Exam Design Inc.
I have worked with Focalworks for over 10 years and I can’t say enough about this group. A large part of the success of my last two companies can be attributed to Focalworks.
I found their development team to be very knowledgeable, not only in software development but also deployment and infrastructure technologies. Within 5 years of the company’s inception, I was able to sell the platform to the world’s largest testing company who still uses it to manage the test content for the largest certification programs in the world. During the acquisition process, Focalworks was highlighted as one of the key contributors to the software’s success.
After the success I’ve had with Focalworks, it’s doubtful that I’ll ever use another software team.

FAQ
How can investing in mobile app development help my business increase revenue and growth?
+Mobile apps can provide a new channel for customer engagement and sales. Businesses can increase customer loyalty and repeat business with a custom mobile app that provides value and convenience. Additionally, apps can provide new revenue streams: In-app purchases, subscriptions, and so forth. By leveraging the unique capabilities of mobile devices, businesses can also create new business models.
What are the benefits of outsourcing custom mobile app development services, and how can businesses choose the right outsourcing partner?
+Outsourcing to the right partner can provide several benefits including cost savings, specialised expertise, and increased flexibility. Focalworks’ team of experienced developers can help businesses design and develop custom mobile apps tailored to their needs. Our technical expertise and capabilities enable us to create user-friendly, scalable, and secure apps. We also prioritise communication and project management to ensure that our clients are involved every step of the way. Contact us to learn more about our custom mobile app development services.
How long does it typically take to develop a custom mobile app?
+The time depends on factors such as complexity, number of features, the platform the app will run on, and the development team’s size and experience. Generally, it can take a few weeks to several months to develop an app. Get in touch with us with your requirements for a better estimate.
How can an agency that develops custom apps help businesses create personalised user experiences and increase customer loyalty?
+The agency can leverage user data and behaviour to tailor the app experience to each user. Through features like user profiles, personalised recommendations, and targeted notifications, businesses can provide customised experiences that meet their users’ unique needs and preferences. This increases customer loyalty by fostering a deeper connection between user and brand.
How can investing in mobile app development improve employee productivity and streamline business operations?
+Apps provide employees with on-the-go access to essential tools and resources. They can automate routine tasks, provide real-time data, facilitate collaboration and communication, and simplify workflows. Apps can also enhance training and onboarding processes.
What is the difference between native and hybrid mobile app development?
+Native development involves building an app for a specific, single platform such as iOS or Android, using the platform’s native language. In contrast, hybrid development uses web technologies such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to create a “cross-platform” app that runs on multiple platforms. Hybrid apps typically entail a faster development process and are a more cost-effective solution, but they may not deliver the same level of performance and user experience as native apps.
What are the key considerations when designing a user interface for an app?
+Key considerations include user experience, app functionality, and visual appeal. Critical factors to consider include simplicity, ease of use, responsiveness, and consistency in the design. It’s also essential to consider the target audience and design an interface that caters to their specific needs.
What are the most popular frameworks for developing mobile apps?
+Popular frameworks include React Native, Flutter, Xamarin, Ionic, and PhoneGap. These frameworks offer features such as cross-platform compatibility, ease of use, and community support.
What emerging trends in mobile app development should businesses be aware of?
+Emerging trends include AI and machine learning, augmented reality, virtual reality, Internet of Things (IoT) integration, and blockchain technology for increased security and transparency. Businesses must stay up-to-date with these trends and consider how their app development strategy and overall business goals may be impacted.
How do you incorporate user feedback while developing custom mobile apps?
+User feedback is critical in ensuring the success of a custom mobile app. One way to incorporate user feedback is to engage beta testers to provide feedback throughout development. Developers can also use analytics tools to track user behaviour and identify areas for improvement. It is essential to prioritise the most valuable feedback and make changes accordingly while balancing all users’ needs and maintaining the overall vision for the app.
For a small business, what are the key factors to consider when developing an app?
+It is essential to consider the target audience, business objectives, and budget. The app should have a clear value proposition. Its design and functionality should align with the brand’s image and goals. The app should be optimised for different mobile platforms and devices and be tested thoroughly before launch.
What common mistakes must be avoided while developing a mobile app?
+Common mistakes include failing to adequately research the target audience, overcomplicating the user interface, neglecting to optimise the app for performance and speed, and neglecting to test and debug the app thoroughly before launch. It is also important to prioritise the features that are most important to users— and to ensure the app is correctly integrated with the intended platform and devices.
How do you test and debug a mobile app before launch?
+Testing and debugging are critical steps in the development process. One way to ensure the app functions correctly is to conduct thorough testing using manual and automated techniques to identify issues or bugs. It is essential to gather feedback from beta testers to ensure the app is user-friendly and meets the needs of its target audience.
How do you optimise an app for performance and speed?
+Optimising for performance and speed is essential to the user experience. Strategies include using efficient coding practices, minimising the app’s file size, caching frequently used data, and optimising media including images. Testing the app under various conditions and on various devices is essential to ensure it performs well in real-world scenarios.
How do you ensure the security of an app?
+Ensuring security requires a comprehensive development approach that includes measures such as secure coding practices, encryption of sensitive data, and testing for vulnerabilities. Developers can also leverage security frameworks and protocols such as OAuth, HTTPS, and SSL/TLS. Additionally, it is crucial to stay up-to-date with the latest security threats and regularly update the app with security patches and bug fixes.
How can businesses leverage emerging technologies such as AI and machine learning (ML) in developing apps for mobile?
+AI and machine learning cam drive more intelligent, more personalised user experiences. AI-powered chatbots, for instance, can provide customer support and assistance within the app. ML algorithms can analyse user behaviour and preferences to make personalised recommendations. Additionally, AI and ML help streamline and automate certain aspects of the development process such as testing and debugging.
What are the best practices for ensuring the security and privacy of user data when developing apps for mobile?
+Developers should follow best practices such as implementing strong encryption, using secure data storage, minimising data collection, and providing transparent privacy policies. Apps should comply with the relevant data protection regulations. They should be tested regularly for vulnerabilities. Developers should prioritise user consent—and provide opt-out options for data sharing.
What is the future of mobile app development, and how can businesses stay ahead of the curve?
+The future is likely to be driven by emerging technologies such as AI, augmented reality, and IoT. Businesses should keeping up with the latest trends and innovations in the industry. They can stay ahead of the curve by investing in R&D, collaborating with technology partners and experts, and prioritising user feedback.
