Before you take any time to develop a mobile application, consider your audience and build a solid Business Case around the business need or the problem you want to solve. You\u2019ll find more about building a business case in our recent post: You need to develop a new application?\u00a0 Fine, do you have a Business Case?<\/a><\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Do your homework. Despite how unique you think your idea is, there\u2019s a good chance someone, somewhere, have already built it, or something similar. Who knows, you may be able to adapt it at just the cost of a license or an SDK?<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Every screen should offer\u00a0a single action of real value. Design each screen for one purpose, no more than 1 call-to-action. This makes the mobile application easier to learn and to use.<\/p>\n Focus on the content and remove unnecessary elements that does not support user tasks. Users should be led as quickly as possible to useful and appropriate content.<\/p>\n Less is more<\/strong><\/em>. White space, the empty space between and around elements of a design or page layout, helps focusing on the visible elements; that is, the relevant elements.<\/p>\n Help users navigate easily, this should be a high priority of your mobile application design. Mobile navigation must be discoverable, accessible, and it should take little screen space.<\/p>\n Involve users right from the beginning and test the look and feel<\/strong><\/em> of your mobile application design. This is one of the best practices to follow because it will\u00a0save you time and money.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This is the most important purpose of an enterprise mobile application; to communicate and share information (send, push, reply) but one must use notifications wisely and think twice before sending a message because annoying notifications is by far the first reason (77 %) why people turn them off or, simply uninstall or stop using a mobile application.<\/p>\n Your mobile application messaging strategy should use all types of message (push notifications, email, in-app notifications, news feed messaging) based on urgency and content.<\/p>\n Your communication and notification strategy should contribute to creating a great user experience, not killing it.<\/p>\nCalling all App Stores<\/strong><\/h3>\n

<\/a>When in a Mobile Environment, it is all about making every message count.\u00a0And especially in a business context, don\u2019t send notifications for the sake of engagement; this is not a social venue. Every interaction should be\u00a0valuable to the user<\/a> and not a distraction.<\/p>\n
