BYB Apps was a pioneer in the early days of the mobile phone app industry, when it was still a new and innovative technology. We helped businesses all over the world embrace this technology and use it to drive their success. However, as the mobile app industry has matured, it has become much more accessible and affordable for small businesses to create their own apps, even without a lot of technical knowledge. This shift towards a DIY approach is something that we at BYB Apps welcomed, as it allows small businesses with limited budgets to have a digital presence and access to high-quality technology.
During our time in the industry, we developed our own platform for creating affordable mobile phone apps. This was because many developers were charging exorbitant amounts – upwards of $50,000 to $100,000 – which made it difficult for small businesses, particularly cafes and restaurants, to afford. We wanted to change this, so we created our own platform and partnered with an international one, which allowed us to offer mobile phone apps with loyalty and reward systems for under $2,000. This was groundbreaking at the time and disrupted the status quo in the industry.
Nowadays, there are many systems and companies that offer app creation services for as little as $99, which is fantastic. We believe that this trend towards DIY in the app market, as well as in the web development market, is a great thing because it gives small businesses around the world the opportunity to have a strong digital presence and use technology to grow their businesses. Overall, our experience with building BYB Apps was a rewarding one, and we are glad to have played a part in disrupting the industry and making it more accessible for small businesses.
