Mobile App UI/UX Design That Feels Native and Intuitive

iOS and Android have distinct design languages - iOS follows Human Interface Guidelines (HIG) with emphasis on depth, clarity, and deference, while Android follows Material Design with focus on bold graphics, meaningful motion, and intentional space. iOS typically uses bottom navigation and swipe gestures, while Android emphasizes the floating action button (FAB) and drawer navigation. We design platform-specific interfaces that feel native to each ecosystem while maintaining your brand consistency across both platforms.

Yes! We specialize in designing for both iOS and Android platforms. We can create platform-specific designs that honor each operating system's unique guidelines and user expectations, or we can develop a unified design system that maintains brand consistency while adapting key interaction patterns for each platform. Our approach ensures your app feels native on both iOS and Android while maximizing design efficiency.

Mobile app design timelines vary based on complexity. A simple 5-10 screen app typically takes 3-4 weeks including discovery, wireframing, and high-fidelity designs. Medium complexity apps with 15-25 screens take 5-7 weeks. Complex apps with advanced features, custom animations, and extensive user flows can take 8-12 weeks. We provide detailed timelines during discovery after understanding your specific requirements, feature set, and platform needs.

Absolutely! Responsive design is fundamental to mobile app design. We design adaptive layouts that scale beautifully across all device sizes - from compact phones to large tablets and foldables. This includes iPhone SE to iPhone Pro Max, Android phones of all sizes, iPads, and Android tablets. We consider landscape and portrait orientations, split-screen multitasking, and ensure your app provides optimal experiences regardless of device or screen size.

Yes, interactive prototypes are a core deliverable. We create high-fidelity, clickable prototypes in Figma that simulate the real app experience including navigation flows, transitions, animations, and micro-interactions. These prototypes are invaluable for usability testing, stakeholder presentations, developer handoff, and investor demos. You can experience the app on your actual device before any code is written, saving time and reducing development risks.

Our design approach supports both native (Swift/Kotlin) and cross-platform frameworks (React Native, Flutter). For native development, we create platform-specific designs optimized for each OS. For cross-platform, we design a unified system with platform-appropriate adaptations for navigation patterns, gestures, and UI components. We work closely with your development team to ensure designs are technically feasible for your chosen framework while maintaining excellent user experience.

We design with App Store and Google Play guidelines in mind from the start. This includes adhering to minimum touch target sizes, proper use of system permissions, accessibility requirements, content policies, and design best practices that improve approval chances. We also design app store assets including icons, screenshots, and preview videos that maximize conversion. Our designs help you pass review processes smoothly and present your app compellingly in the stores.

Accessibility is built into our mobile design process, not added as an afterthought. We design for WCAG compliance and platform-specific accessibility features including VoiceOver (iOS), TalkBack (Android), Dynamic Type, high contrast modes, and reduced motion preferences. This includes proper color contrast ratios, touch target sizes (minimum 44x44pt iOS, 48x48dp Android), clear focus indicators, and semantic labeling. Accessible design expands your audience and is increasingly required.

Dark mode is now a standard expectation for mobile apps. We design complete light and dark mode themes that automatically adapt to user system preferences or allow manual switching within your app. This includes carefully considered color palettes, contrast adjustments, and semantic color tokens that ensure excellent readability and visual hierarchy in both modes. Dark mode design is included in our standard mobile app design packages.

We provide comprehensive developer handoff packages including organized Figma files with developer mode enabled for precise specs, complete design system documentation with all components and patterns, exported assets in all required resolutions (@1x, @2x, @3x for iOS and mdpi, hdpi, xhdpi, xxhdpi, xxxhdpi for Android), interactive prototypes showing all flows and states, detailed specifications for animations and transitions, and ongoing support during development to ensure accurate implementation.
