Your apps also age, and so after some time, it becomes important to give a facelift to the app. This is absolutely important in order to ensure that the users remain hooked to the app.

We also cannot overlook the fact that with new technologies coming into the foray revamping of your old is absolutely necessary.

Before a mobile app development company can redo your app, it is important to understand the steps that are involved in the redesigning of the app.

So then what is the first thing that comes to your mind? I think we read your mind right! The cost of redesigning is the first thing that most of you will think.

So what is the cost to redesign the app?

An honest answer is that there is no set package. The cost will all depend on a number of things. So it is important to take into account certain factors before we can actually chalk out the pricing of the app redesigning.

How complex is the app?

One of the most important things is the complexity of your app. If it has just a few screens then naturally the cost will be less. But if it is a multi-screen intricate app then naturally you will have to shell out more money.

How much redesigning is required?

Now it is not necessary that every old app has to be redesigned completely. In the case of some old apps, just a few changes may suffice. For some other old apps, just changing the skin will help.

But in certain cases, all that is needed is a few changes like replacement of a button or adding or revamping a single feature in the app. The cost of these minor changes will naturally be less as compared to the revamping of the complete app.

The cost of technology!

If you need more technical support for the redevelopment of your app, then it will be more expensive as compared to when you need less technical support.

If you are using cross-platform app development techniques or if you are adding a new function then naturally that will need more technical expertise and this, in turn, will affect the overall pricing of the app revamping.

The cost of outsourcing:

When you decide to revamp the app, then the first thing that you need to check is - do you have a team who can take care of the redesigning. If the answer is in the affirmative then naturally cost cannot be a major issue.

You need to check whether your team has the technical expertise to do the revamping or can they do the research that is needed for the redesigning of the app. If you have to hire a mobile app development company then naturally the cost of revamping will be higher,

What do your customers need?

One of the crucial things that you need to keep in mind is the client requirement. You need to have clarity about what new things your customers want in the new app.

After all, you are revamping the app mainly for the customers. Your main objective is to revamp the user experience. This information will be very helpful for you to decide about what changes you need to make.

Your pocket size!

Everything will finally depend on one thing, and that is what your budget is. Depending on your spending power you need to decide on the changes that you need to make.

You need to set your priorities right. If the new feature can wait then concentrate on cross-platform app development so that your app becomes compatible with multiple mobile operating systems.

So these are the different factors on which the cost of the redesigning will depend. But it is not just about factors. There are other things that also need to be taken into account. The current situation prevailing in your company is one such thing.

One of the first things that you must do is create a model of what you are actually visualizing. This will give your designing team a much better idea about what are the changes that you are looking at. This will make it easier to decide on the actual cost of the redesigning of the app.

Now there can be a situation where mobile app development may not be the expertise of your designing team. But even then they are going to help you in a big way like they can help you with the research and can give valuable inputs about brand development and marketing material. As for the redesigning, you have no other choice but to bring an expert from outside.

If you have no designing team, but it is high time to redo your app as your customers are moving to new solutions then to do not worry.

There are reputed and reliable app development companies who have the expertise to handle mobile app redesigning projects of all sizes.

If you are in two minds of whether you should, or you should not redesign your old app, then it is time to do some research and analysis. It is time to take customer feedback and to check the things that are the latest trends in the industry. This will certainly help you decide what to choose.

Finally here is what you need to do!

We are sure that it is now clear to you that there are many things that will ultimately determine the cost of the app redesigning. So in order to get a better idea what you need to do is write down about what are the changes that you need in the app.

You also need to write down the resources that you are having. You then need to figure out how best you can use the available resources. From this, you will get a better idea about what you need to outsource.

Once the things that you need to outsource are clear, you need to need next to discuss your requirements with a mobile app redesigning expert. Take an estimate from them; this will help you understand that if the cost suits your budget.

You must ideally try to hire an expert who has handled projects of all sizes and one who has the best idea about the latest technology and the latest trends in the industry.

Conclusion:
