An app that performs well is not enough for a growing business. If you want your business to shine, then you must have an app with a killer design. It would be great if you hire UX/UI designers as they can help in making your app look like it’s an award winner. Apps that are not well designed have to face a hard time surviving in the app stores. No user wants to work on a non-designed app. 

iOS App Development Practices

Consider this guide as a great reference for those designers who wanted to work on multiple IOS applications. 

  • Do not try too much creativity when it comes to designing an app. You won’t be benefiting by trying and reinventing new designing strategies. Have you ever noticed that all the successful apps almost have similar designs? This is because they stick with the strategies that have worked historically. Only work with the designs with which users are familiar for a very long time.  
  • Make use of the grid while designing your app as it is considered one of the excellent resources to define your spacing. Moreover, this will help in keeping the layout of your app organized and neat at the same time. Grids help you visualize what your app will look like after the completion of all the design components. The text and the pictures you are going to use on your app should not overlap with each other because nobody loves to use an app that has misaligned texts and crooked pictures. Make use of a grid to set and define your margins. 
  • All the design elements, including the color aspects that you wanted to use in your app, should have a definite and clear purpose. Do not make random color choices; the colors you use should not be too bright and contrasting that it becomes difficult for users to read the content of your app. You do not have to do too much; sometimes, it is the simple things that bring you the most benefits. Make use of common color associations while designing an app. By reversing the common color associations you will only confuse the users and as a result, your conversion rates will suffer. 
  • Do not try to put a complex design and then expect it to work. This does not mean that the design of your app needs to be super basic. Just don’t try to increase the complexity when it comes to the user interface. Make sure to consider all the UI elements for usability. Moreover, when the design of an app is complicated, it takes longer for that app to load. An app with simple design help users to stay focused. 
  • While designing an app, a mobile app designer needs to recognize different screen sizes and resolutions. Smartphones and even iPhones come in all different sizes, shapes, and resolutions. A designer needs to account for various other devices where his designed app is going to be used. As a designer, you have got to take other screens like tablets and smart TVs into consideration. The app you are going to designed needs to be optimized for as many screens as possible.
