      Frequently Asked Questions

      What makes a mobile app successful?

      A successful mobile app is user-friendly, solves a specific problem or need, and offers a unique experience. It's also important for the app to be reliable, fast, and easy to navigate. Positive reviews and word-of-mouth recommendations can also boost its success.

      Do mobile apps make money?

      Yes, mobile apps can make money. They can earn through ads, in-app purchases, or by charging users to download. Some apps also offer premium versions or subscriptions for additional features.

      What is UX design in mobile app?

      UX design stands for "User Experience design." It's about creating an app that's easy and enjoyable for users. Think of it like planning a journey where every step, from opening the app to achieving a goal, is smooth and intuitive.

      How much does a mobile app cost to build?

      The cost to build a mobile app varies widely based on its complexity, features, and platform (like iOS or Android). A simple app might cost a few thousand dollars, while a complex one could run into the tens or hundreds of thousands. Always consult with app developers for accurate estimates.

      What is the difference between native and hybrid app development?

      Native app development involves building apps specifically for one platform, like iOS or Android, using platform-specific languages and tools. Hybrid development allows you to build a single app that runs on multiple platforms using a unified coding framework, potentially saving time and resources.

      How long does it take to develop a mobile app?

      The development time for a mobile app can range from a few weeks to several months or more, depending on the app's complexity, features, and the development process. Simple apps with basic features can be developed more quickly, while complex apps with advanced functionalities may take longer.

      Can I update my app after it's launched?

      Yes, you can and should update your app after launch. Updates can fix bugs, improve performance, add new features, and keep the app compatible with the latest operating systems and devices.

      How do I protect my app idea from being stolen?

      To protect your app idea, you can use non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) before discussing it with potential developers or partners. Additionally, make sure to work with reputable developers and consider trademarking your app's name and branding.

      Do I need to test my mobile app before launching it?

      Absolutely. Testing is a critical step in app development. It helps identify and resolve technical issues, improves user experience, and ensures the app works well on different devices and operating systems. This can include beta testing with real users to gather feedback before the full launch.

      What kind of maintenance will my mobile app need after it's launched?

      After launch, an app will need regular maintenance to ensure it remains functional and secure. This includes updating libraries and frameworks, fixing bugs, optimizing performance, and adding new content or features to keep the app engaging for users.

      How do I ensure my app is accessible to all users?

      Ensuring your app is accessible involves designing and testing it for users with a wide range of abilities, including those with visual, auditory, motor, or cognitive disabilities. This means implementing voice-over narration, subtitles, larger buttons, and color contrast options, among other accessibility features. It's important to follow guidelines like the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) for mobile apps.

      What types of mobile apps can you develop?

      We specialize in developing a wide range of mobile applications, including native apps for iOS and Android, hybrid apps, and progressive web apps. Whether you need a business app, an e-commerce platform, a social networking app, or a custom solution tailored to your specific needs, Sunlight Media has the expertise to deliver exceptional results.

      How do you ensure the security of the app and user data?

      Security is a top priority for us at Sunlight Media. We follow industry best practices and implement robust security measures, such as data encryption, secure APIs, authentication protocols, and regular security audits, to protect your app and user data from potential threats.

      What is your process for app development, and how long does it typically take?

      Our app development process includes initial consultation, requirement analysis, design, development, testing, deployment, and ongoing maintenance. The timeline for app development can vary depending on the complexity and scope of the project. Still, we provide a detailed project plan and timeline during the consultation phase to ensure transparency and manage expectations.

      Can you help with app store submissions and post-launch support?

      Absolutely. We assist with app store submissions for the Apple App Store and Google Play Store, ensuring that your app meets all necessary guidelines and requirements. Additionally, we offer post-launch support and maintenance services to address any issues, perform updates, and ensure your app remains up-to-date and functional.

      What is the cost structure for app development, and do you offer flexible payment options?

      The app development cost depends on various factors, such as the app's complexity, features, platform, and design requirements. We provide a detailed quote based on your specific needs and project scope. We also offer flexible payment options and can work with you to create a payment plan that fits your budget. Contact our sales team to discuss your project and receive a customized, non-binding quote.

        Can't say enough good things about Sunlight Media. They were very patient with me; they revised and updated the website design for my law office over, and over, and over . . . . until I was completely happy with it, and that's saying something because I have been accused of being obsessive compulsive; which means I'm very demanding. The results speak for themselves. To see the work that Sunlight did for me for me, you all have a standing invitation to see their masterpiece at <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Fjessejbanuelos.com&s=d8fc07934f834c7e4840039eb2f4f34c853ef384bfb9849cd850c061edf46dc4" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">jessejbanuelos.com</a>. As "icing on the cake", their price for this work was competitive; meaning that before I chose Sunlight, I obtained quotes from several other designers which were higher than Sunlight's. This is my second Yelp review ever. I wrote my first one about four years ago. What's more, I don't write negative reviews because I don't want to bother with it. So, when I write a review it is because I want to commend and applaud a company or person that has provided me with service that is outstanding. Jesse J. Bañuelos.

        I use Yelp a lot to help me decide where to eat and what services to use. Yelp is an important tool in doing my 'homework'. When I decided to have a website created it was Sunlight Media that stood out from the rest as a good local company. I was not disappointed. Angelo and his team performed as agreed and went above and beyond when he showed me how to manage my content should I decide to change it later on my own. The website turned out as I had envisioned it : <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.depressioncoach.co&s=b051272e12ad5370b57f94659588f48762b79eeed003bcd42b80a2380e0cfb03" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">depressioncoach.co</a> . Provided you stay within the scope of the written contract, Angelo will not nickel and dime you for minor issues. I could not ask for better service and I trust you will experience the same professionalism as I did.

They did a great job, they are not just web site developers, they understand marketing and what it takes to stand out and they apply this knowledge working on your project. I would highly recommend anyone to work with them for website development.

        Angelo and his team at Sunlight Media are awesome! I am fairly new to WordPress and was recently hired by a company, I blindly said I could redesign the current website (<a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thewestwoodvillage.com&s=241905e793036ae338e6fc93f94b82edfa34f269f6b1364584537dcd2019c3ad" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">thewestwoodvillage.com</a>), thinking "it's WordPress, how hard can it be?" Then I started eating those words, big time! I needed an easy crash course and learn the ropes in order to impress my new boss. He was able to work with our extremely limited budget and helped get me to finish the site and to where we are today. Added bonus - they provided us with detailed YouTube clips showing how they did what they did, now I can maintain the site on my own and look like a Rockstar. Great communication! I hope I can work with Angelo and his team again! Highly recommended!

        I cannot recommend Angelo and his team highly enough!  It's no wonder all of his reviews are 5 stars.  Sound too good to be true?  It's not.  For about 3 to 4 months last fall, I was working with a web developer on the westside who came highly recommended from a good friend.  At first, he was great... really responsive and helpful... but after he did his first draft of my new website (not at all to my specs), he disappeared.  I tried contacting him multiple times (and multiple ways) to see if he would complete our contract.  He responded very intermittently and simply would not continue working on my site (important lesson here: don't buy into the "it will be cheaper if you pay me everything upfront" plan :o).  Then I turned to Yelp to try to find someone with good reviews to finish the job that Chris started. Working with Angelo was a complete 180 from what I had experienced previously.  Angelo is a professional in every way.  He is very pleasant, respectful, organized, highly responsive, insightful, talented, timely, affordable (my site is not a business so I was paying out of my own pocket), and he even helped me with a small modification I needed (at no charge!) after our contract was complete.  I would contract with him again in a heartbeat... and probably will for updates to my site in the future. He did an incredible job!!!

        My company faced a hacking crisis earlier this year, so we turned to Angelo and his team based on the recommendation of a trusted IT company.  Sunlight Media fixed our website completely, quickly and at a very competitive rate.  And they steered us clear of unnecessary, costly features--helped us choose only what we needed based on our specific goals.Knowing that web developers each have strengths and weaknesses, we carefully assigned various other tasks to Angelo and his team.  Every single time, regardless of the type of assignment, they got it done efficiently, thoroughly, with minimal back-and-forth, and at a much-appreciated, fair price.  Every single time.If this is what we have to look forward to, we will NOT be wasting time looking elsewhere for our web development needs.  We're truly grateful to have Angelo and his colleagues caring about our business the way they do.S.D.

        Starting your own business is very challenging but working with Sunlight Media was very easy. Angelo was very consultative from the beginning and helped me understand the best demonstrated practices for web design and development. I interviewed a handful of companies before choosing Sunlight Media. My website is exactly what I envisioned and I am very pleased with the quality of the work. I would definitely recommend this company to others.

        I had made every mistake you could make when trying to hire a company to build a Web site.After a lot of money wasted not to mention time I called Angelo at Sunlight Media and to be honest I went into my deal with Sunlight Media just as blind and ignorant as I had the previous three company's but for some reason they didn't take my money and run! Every word they said has been right on the money from telling me what to expect and what not to expect. Put it this way, as my budget grows and I'm able to do more for my company on the Web I will not call anyone else.Thanks guys.

        I was left hanging by a web developer who installed a 3rd party WordPress template for me, but failed to deliver the rest of the project. I was way behind, and needed expert help.After consulting with Angelo from Sunlight Media, he reassured me that they could finish the project as I had hoped as the Sunlight Media team had extensive experience in projects like this.  To say they delivered would be an understatement.  They were also  able to do some expert restructuring of a complex animated banner, and it was perfect the first time. In addition to tweaking my blog as I had originally asked, they also went the extra mile when we had an update hiccup with WordPress that was solved within an afternoon's time by working directly with my hosting company.It doesn't get better that this - if you need top notch web development services, whether for blog or website or graphics, I couldn't give a better recommendation.
