E-commerce app development services tailored to your business
At Brightec, we actively involve our clients in every stage of app design and development. By working together, we create a platform you’re proud to put your name to.
Our services are built around the unique needs of your business, creating a bespoke pathway that helps us reach your goals together. Here’s a little of what you can expect our process to look like:
Discovery and Research
Everything we do is with a people-first approach. During the Discovery and Research phase, we take the time to understand your vision, your product, and your audience. This is a great opportunity for your team and ours to meet in person and get the ball rolling on your project.
Design and Development
Through streamlined UX/UI as well as user testing feedback and refinement, we create meaningful in-app experiences that users love to interact with. Throughout the design and development process, we will seek your feedback, as well as that of your customers, to ensure the e-commerce app is in line with your vision, meeting the needs of your audience and securing the highest conversion rates.
App Monitoring and Refinement
Once we’ve delivered your e-commerce app, you will receive reports and insights from our team as we monitor its progress and success. This is where we start tracking and monitoring data, spotting trends and improving conversion rates across the app to help it grow with your company.
Let’s talk tech (without the complicated jargon)
Now, we live and breathe this technology. That’s what we do. But we understand this isn’t always the case for our clients. That’s precisely why our developers guide you to the right tech solution for your app.
Brightec develops apps for both iOS and Android – and also uses React Native, a cross-platform app development software. By developing for Android and iOS simultaneously you can engage users across devices and expand your audience reach.

FAQ’s
What is an e-commerce app?
A mobile e-commerce app facilitates buying and selling products and services online. Well-built e-commerce apps allow users to browse product catalogues, filter their search, add items to a shopping cart, create wishlists, and purchase items securely.
E-commerce website vs app: what’s the difference?
E-commerce websites are accessed via a web browser and are typically designed for broader accessibility. Whereas, e-commerce apps are designed for specific platforms such as Android and iOS, offering consumers a more personalised and interactive online shopping experience.
