- Which is the best mobile app development company in Kenya?
- Where could I get the best app developer in Kenya?
- Who are the best mobile app consultants in Kenya?
- What companies based in East Africa (particularly Kenya) are the best for developing custom mobile apps and websites?
What is common in these questions?
They are the same questions phrased differently!
Even though it looks like that may be true, these questions are asked by different people on Quora over a period.
These questions are asked by different people on Quora over a period.
There are so many similar questions that ask the same questions but phrased differently on the internet. The numbers are increasing day by day.
One of the reasons why such questions are asked more frequently is Kenya is rapidly becoming one of the technologically advanced markets in the world.
The number of people using smartphones and digital services is increasing in Kenya. As people are adopting technology to make their lives easier, businesses are investing more money on technology to keep up with the trend. As a result, the app industry is rapidly expanding in the country.
However, since Kenya is an emerging market, there is a gap in demand and supply when it comes to the app industry. While businesses are looking for technology solutions with top quality at an affordable price, there are not so many service providers who are able to meet this growing demand. This is just opposite to a developed market like the US which has already gone through several technology evolutions and the market is somewhat saturated with a good number of service providers.
Due to this wide gap between technology demand and technology supply, it is often difficult for a person or business to find the “right app developer” in emerging markets like Kenya. So, these questions are not without a cause.
Is that mean there are no good app developers in Kenya?
Absolutely not.
The Kenyan market is adopting technology at a fast pace. Due to the quality of the services provided and at the cost they were made available, there are several app developments companies who have already made their space in Kenya.
How to choose the best mobile app development company in Kenya?
There are many ways to find the best mobile app development companies.
Use Google
As always, Google is your best friend. Simply do a search on Google using keywords like “Best app development company in Kenya”. See what comes up.
Google has a sophisticated search approach that is developed to show only the best results.
Go to Business directories
There are several websites that list the businesses by industry and services offered. Websites like Clutch.co, Goodfirms.co etc features reviews from clients on the listed company profile. They also release curated lists of top app development companies based on the client ratings and reviews periodically.
App developers with good ratings and reviews may quote a higher price for their services. Unless you are looking for something cheap, always go for companies with top ratings since they are more likely to deliver quality and results.
Seek help from your business network
Investing in an app will cost you money. But, it will be the most beneficial step you can take for your business. The only thing is, you must make sure that the money is invested in the right team.
One of the most reliable sources to find the best app developers can be your professional network. Check whether anyone in your network has worked with any app developed company in the past. If yes, how was the experience and what was the result? Ask them questions like
- What was the overall cost of developing the app?
- What were the features offered at that price?
- How long it took the development team to deliver the final product?
- How was the communication between the teams?
- How was the quality of the final product?
- Did the app development company take care of deployment and maintenance?
- Has the app helped your friend to achieve the same result she was expecting?
- How did the market respond to the app?
- What was the feedback from the actual users? Was it positive?
