As the market evolves, so is everything else. New technologies and design trends are coming up, at the same time making other technologies and trends redundant. This results in lower app’s ratings, shrinking user base and ultimately, falling behind the competition. Hence, more and more entrepreneurs decide on app redesign or software rewrite. So as not to make that happen.
However, such practices are more costly, which is why they should be done after due research. Sometimes, all it takes is carrying out a code review, fixing the bugs, and it already works. But, in other cases, it’s about a complete redesign and software rewriting, which means developing a new app from scratch.
In this article, you’ll get to know about:
Let’s get into it!
How to differentiate them? Simply put, application redesign is about visual aspects and user experience (UX), while software rewrite is all about the code. And from that short sentence alone, you can already tell that they can complement each other in software development. How?
If we enter any visual changes (frontend), they always have their way in code (like changing the margins). Similarly, if a frontend developer alters something in code, there will be a change in design. As simple as that.
Also, when we’re talking about app redesign, I feel like we should mention that there are 3 approaches, namely:
So, doing an app redesign doesn’t always mean the same – sometimes, the process is much quicker since the team gives the product some cosmetic changes. And it already brings enormous value to the target audience.
