FAQs
How long does a typical app project take to develop?
The MindSea UX Blueprint design process typically takes 8-10 weeks, and from there, depending on the complexity of your build, it can take another 4-10 weeks to fully develop and launch. Most client builds take 15-20 weeks total. We confirm a realistic timeline during planning based on scope and priorities.
What drives the cost of a mobile app development project up or down?
The number of user types and use cases you want to accommodate are the primary drivers of app complexity. We turn those requirements into distinct user stories, and then map features, actions, and integrations needed to support each. We’ll walk through tradeoffs in detail during the proposal development phase so you’re clear on the functionality and scope of your app.
How does MindSea keep app data secure after launch?
We understand the importance of creating secure and compliant apps. Not only is every team member trained on user privacy guidelines, it is also a vital part of our internal design and decision-making process for every project. To uphold user privacy, MindSea fully embraces encryption requirements and adhere to Canadian and global security regulations, such as:
GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation)
HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act)
PIPEDA (The Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act)
Who is the team that will build my app at MindSea?
Our experienced team designers and developers work directly with our clients throughout the development process, and are all based in North America out of Halifax and Toronto. Clients often like that we’re available to meet and collaborate with other teams based in the US and Canada throughout the work day, and note our responsiveness to responding to Slack messages and requests.
