Mobile Design

We design for the platform your users actually use. Many clients need cross-platform design – iOS and Android built from a shared design system so both apps can ship with identical experience and a shorter build time. We analyse your audience demographics, business goals, and target markets before suggesting an iOS-first or Android-first strategy.

We deliver organised Figma design files, a clickable prototype, a reusable design system (including typography, colour styles, and spacing tokens), UI component libraries, icon sets, and detailed developer documentation. Every project ends with developer-ready designs organised to make your team’s jobs easier – speeding development time, minimising revisions, and helping you keep the app’s visual design consistent across future updates.

RVS designers craft responsive interfaces that look great on iPhones, Android phones, foldables, and tablets. We build the design at common breakpoints (usually including 375px, 390px, and 428px for mobile breakpoints plus 768px and up for tablets) and test each layout on physical devices to ensure that copy, navigation, spacing, and tap targets work well on every screen size.

Yes. When updating an existing app, we begin with a UX audit of your mobile app to learn what’s working well and what needs improvement. We also pay close attention to flows that may have changed since users first downloaded your app. We modernise your visual design, improve confusing flows, and fix app pain points while retaining key patterns that will prevent your users from getting frustrated with change.

Users tend to uninstall apps for five reasons: frustrating experiences, slow load times, confusing navigation, intrusive onboarding, frequent crashes, or apps that look “dated.” App analytics firms report that approximately 25% of mobile apps are never used again after opening them for the first time. A well-designed UX is proactive about removing roadblocks and friction from a user’s most crucial journeys.

Yes. App users’ complete tasks faster and with less effort when your app has intuitive UI and UX. Better mobile UX improves conversions and continues to affect user behaviour inside your app. It can mean higher retention rates, increased app store ratings, and fewer questions submitted to customer support. Bad app experiences result in lost users, even if the app functions well.

Pretty much every poor rating on the app store is caused by a bad UX. Whether it’s confusing navigation, slow load times, busted flows, or inconsistent design, user complaints can be traced back to a problem experienced within the app. We map out your existing user journeys, find out where users are dropping off, and redesign those screens and flows to gradually improve engagement, ratings, and retention.

We work with your developers throughout the design process so they’re never “reverse-engineering” design decisions at the start of build. Upon project completion, your engineers receive a full design system, responsive layout mockups, clickable prototype, and detailed design specs covering spacing, interactions, motion, and more. Leave the guess to us.

Yes, RVS Media partners with small businesses across many industries. Our clients range from early-stage startups all the way to large enterprises. The design process is scalable to suit your business needs – projects for small companies might skip research and focus only on essential flows and core app screens, while larger apps will include research, design systems, and cross-platform design.

The cost of mobile app design starts around £2000 for basic MVPs and can exceed £50,000 for complex apps with extensive research and fully customized design systems. Variables include a number of screens, complexity of features, project scope, and whether or not you need ongoing maintenance and design updates after the app launches. We always provide transparent, line-item pricing with zero hidden fees.

Mobile design projects can take as little as two weeks for simple apps or as long as six months for highly complex apps with detailed research and intricate interactions. Each project varies based on research scope, number of app screens, complexity of your features, and client feedback timelines. When you start working with us, we’ll provide a detailed project schedule with milestones, so you know what to expect.
