Creating a website, mobile app, or digital product from scratch can be an intimidating task. You have to come up with an idea, design it, code it, and then figure out how to bring it to life. But don’t worry – we’re here to help! In this post, we’ll share some tips on how you can turn your design and development ideas into a digital reality. So read on for advice on everything from prototyping to user testing!
What Does the Term Digital Mean?
In short, “digital” refers to anything related to computers and electronics. But as you’ll soon see below, it’s a term that can be used in a number of ways – on websites or mobile apps for example.
What Does Digital Mean on Websites?
There are many aspects of a website that fit the definition of “digital” in one way or another. For example, when someone purchases your digital download product, that’s a form of digital commerce. And if you have elements on your website that users can interact with (such as forms), then those are considered to be “digital.”
What Does Digital Mean on Mobile Apps?
The term “digital” applies in different ways on websites and mobile apps. For example, you can use digital elements to interact with users in your app. You can do this through an image gallery or with buttons, for instance.
What Does Digital Mean with Computers?
When it comes to computers, the term “digital” usually refers to data that’s stored on a disk. Even though you can create, open, and save files on your computer using the same methods that you’ve always used, when they’re saved to a hard drive or similar device instead of a floppy disk, they’re considered digital.
Tips to Turn Your Design and Development Ideas into a Digital Reality
Now that you know a little more about what digital means, let’s take a look at some tips on how to turn your design and development ideas into a reality.
Get Your Idea Out There
Start out by getting your idea out there – whether it be for a website, mobile app, or digital product of any kind. You can do this in a number of ways such as by showing your idea to friends or family, entering it into a contest online, or releasing it for feedback on services like Beta list. When you get some positive feedback on your project, then that’s when you know that you’re ready to proceed.
Bring Your Idea to Life by Prototyping It
Once you’ve gotten some feedback on your idea and you’re confident that it’s something that users will enjoy, then it’s time to begin prototyping. A prototype is a rough version of what your project will become – and for web designers and mobile app designers, these are usually wireframes or mockups. It’s important to create a prototype before moving to the next step because it helps users envision how your website or mobile app will work.
Bring Your Idea to Life by Coding It
After you’ve created a prototype, go ahead and begin coding your project. This is where all of those design aspects mentioned above (“digital” elements on websites, interactive screens for apps) come into play. You can use a range of tools to code your project – whether it be the Adobe Creative Suite (including Photoshop, Illustrator, and more) or HTML 5 + CSS 3. You can also always get in contact with a development company if you are not confident in your coding skills.
Bring Your Idea to Life by Testing It Out
Once you feel like your prototype is ready for prime time, it’s time to test out its functionality. This is where user testing comes into play – you’ll want to get a group of users together and give them a task to complete within your prototype. These tasks should be similar to what they’d experience on the final product. By doing this, you can find out if there are any bugs or glitches that need to be fixed before launching your project for the world to see.
Bring Your Idea to Life by Launching It Online
The final step is to actually launch your project online! You’ll want to complete this step after you’ve tested it and you’re confident that there aren’t any glitches or bugs.
After you’ve launched your project, the next step is allowing people to interact with it! This is where digital marketing comes into play – once users are able to see your website or use your mobile app, then it’s time to get the word out.
Digital marketing is a process of getting people aware of your website, mobile app, or digital project through online elements such as social media and search engine optimization (SEO).
