Development Process
Step 1: Contact Us
Getting started is as simple as filling out our contact form. Once you contact us, we’ll get back to you via email, usually in a few hours. If you need an NDA, we are happy to sign yours or we have an NDA that you can use.
Step 2: Prototyping / Quote
The next step in the process is for Renkara Media Group to build a working, functional prototype of your application. This prototype allows us to accurately estimate the work remaining to complete your application. At the end of the exercise, you have a simulated, interactive application that can be installed on your iPhone or iPod touch to be shown to management, investors, or clients.
Renkara Media Group leverages a proprietary technology called FirstLook which enables us to provide relatively sophisticated prototypes very rapidly. This prototyping exercise is usually completed within 5 business days and costs $399. The cost of the prototype is deducted from the total cost of the project.
Step 3: Full Application Development
Using the prototype as a basis, the real application is built through several iterations. In each iteration, Renkara Media Group adds functionality, refines the user experience, and performs quality assurance to ensure that the finished application is of the utmost quality and polish and accurately meets your requirements. At the end of each iteration, a version of the application will be made available to you for your own internal testing and inspection.
Step 4: Delivery
Most applications are completed in approximately 8 to 12 weeks. Once Renkara Media Group completes the application, it is provided to you for final acceptance. At this point, you may take the application and submit it to the iTunes App Store yourself or Renkara Media Group can submit the application to the App Store under its developer license.
Step 5: Support
Congratulations! You now have an app on sale in the App Store! However, Apple requires all applications to be supported, minimally, by email technical support. Renkara Media Group is happy to provide additional support options so you can fully outsource the support and maintenance of your application.
