Interview with Bhavik Agarwal, CEO and Founder

Give us a quick overview of Designoweb. When and how did you begin this journey and what were your motives to be successful in app development?

We started Designoweb with the sole objective of making custom app development more accessible to all. Our journey started 6 years ago with 6 people and through dedication, hard work and an incessant focus on delivering our best work, today we have expanded into a team of more than 100 people.

Our aim was to build mobile applications that would revolutionize the mobile app industry.

What is your role in the management and development of Designoweb?

 I am the CEO of the organization and right from the inception I have played the role of a mentor. I believe that an organization cannot grow without the growth of its people. At Designoweb we believe in giving creative space to our employees so that they can become a part of a successful journey towards mobile app development excellence with us.

Tell us about your biggest achievement in the industry?

The smile on the face of our customers after we have finished their work is the biggest achievement of Designoweb. The satisfaction of doing our work in the best possible manner, challenging ourselves each day, expanding our horizons is what excites us and keeps us motivated.

How do you schedule the development phases of the apps to promise the timeline to your clients?

At Designoweb we believe that a strong process is the thing that differentiates great companies from the rest. We have a well planned process of mobile app development which consists of various phases like

Understanding requirements of the client

• Brainstorming ideas about the project
• Signing the NDA
• Building the wireframe
• Designing the UI/UX of the app
• Writing the code of the app
• QA testing
• Launching the app

We keep our clients posted on the progress of the app so that they can see their baby grow before their own eyes.

How do you help your clients in choosing the right yet profitable platform for app development?

Our team is well versed with various app development platforms like iOS and Android. We know the pros and cons of each app platform and we help the client in choosing the correct platform after analyzing their requirements. Through years of experience we know that the most important factor that comes into play while deciding the platform is the number of customers on a particular platform. For example in a market like the US, it would be better to go with Ios as there is a sizable population using the platform. While in countries like India it would be better to go with Android.

Which would you suggest for a successful and profitable business progression, Native or hybrid apps? How do you define the factors that influenced you to make this choice?

Native apps provide a level of smoothness that is still awaited in a hybrid app. But every mobile application is different and sometimes due to cost or other considerations a hybrid app would prove to be more suitable than a native one.

We at Designoweb have expertise in building both native as well as hybrid apps and we will suggest the suitable platform after analyzing the client’s requirement.

How do you scheme your pricing model? How do you fix your budget?

We offer start-up-friendly pricing to our customers. But, in the end everything depends upon the requirements of the project. We don’t have any fixed pricing model for the projects. We believe in transparent pricing and we include Mobile App submission, support, and server installations service in our price.

How helpful are the mobile apps developed by your team, for enhancing your clients’ business?

In recent years, we have built 250+ web and application services for our customers. We have served a wide variety of industries like medicinal services, sports, media, coordination, and training. The mobile apps developed by our team have helped our clients in increasing their revenue, in improving their efficiency and in gaining new customers.

What according to you are the best practices attaining client satisfaction?

Stay focused on the requirements of the customers

At Designoweb we keep an incessant focus on the requirements of the customer. We believe that no app or software is good if the customer is not satisfied with it. We follow a simple motto,” treat your customers the way you would want yourself to be treated”.

Recall that your client needs to see the bright side of you and your business, so have your channel on and imagine their perspective.

See how they handle the circumstance and mentor them in regions to improve.

How do you update your business system to be in pace with technological advancements?

In the mobile app development world, the technology is evolving at a breakneck pace. Each new day brings with itself interesting new developments. Keeping up with the pace of technological advancements is a challenging task. Our enthusiastic team keeps a tab on the technological advancements happening in the tech world and we keep on innovating with the changing times to stay relevant in the IT field.

What are your thoughts about AR, VR, and the Internet of Things (IoT)?

AR, VR, and IoT are pioneering technological advancements that will shape the future of mankind. We believe that through collaboration of mobile apps with the above mentioned technologies we as humans can realize our true potential, scaling new heights.

What do you think will be the future of mobile technology?

The smart-phone will continue to be an integral part of our day to day life. Mobile technology will continue to explore exciting possibilities with the advent of technologies like AI, IoT, 5G and so on. With rapid advancements being made in the genre of mobile technology in the past decade or so, the future of mobile technology looks brighter than ever before.
