How DAP Became a Leader in Chicago Mobile App Development
From building and testing your app to providing marketing strategies and ongoing support, DAP has expertise in every step of the mobile app development process.
Data-Driven Strategy
At DAP, listening to the data isn’t just a buzzword, it’s a core tenet that is fundamental to everything we do. Working with DAP means you can rest assured that your mobile strategy is informed by robust data, and that we will continually track and test that data as your project moves forward.
Whether it’s knowing how to perfect a call-to-action to drive engagement or how to design an experience that lets customers move effortlessly towards conversion, every choice we make when developing your app has sound data underpinning it.

Our data-driven approach isn’t simply about numbers. It’s about leveraging those numbers to create a mobile experience that is positioned to please the end user at every turn, leading to engaged and growing audiences.
We strive to make sure every possible action a user can take while navigating your app takes them exactly where they want to go and delivers on their expectations.

Mobile App Development Process
Pre-Design: We work closely with you and your team to understand your audience, your competition, and the most effective approach to the business or user problem you’re trying to solve. We firmly believe that a thorough, strategic analysis up front leads to a smoother design and development process and a final product that will reflect your business goals.
Design: After we summarize the findings of the pre-design phase, we move forward with designing your mobile app, collaborating with you and your team throughout the process, informed by design thinking and centered on creating the most interactive, beautiful and usable mobile experience. Once an Invision prototype has been approved by all parties, we conduct a quick round of user testing to ensure your final product is in line with what your ideal customers would actually LOVE to use.
Development & Implementation: This is the phase where your mobile app comes to life. You just sit back and relax as we turn your app from a dream into a reality. We give you and your team visibility into each step of the process as we move towards implementation. Once the functionality of the final app has been fully tested, it is ready to launch.
Support: When your mobile app is finally launched and being used by your customers, our involvement doesn’t end there. Not only will we take the necessary steps to make sure your Chicago mobile app reaches as wide an audience as possible, but we are ready to help you solve any unexpected issues and add incremental improvements to your app as they become necessary.
