The process of travel app development
We have already accomplished more than 100 software development projects, and during this time we have elaborated a convenient workflow that allows us to develop apps with minimum hustle. Here are the steps we follow.
Gather project requirements
Our managers will invite you to an initial meeting where you share your travel software idea, requirements, and expected output. After all necessary information is collected, we’ll take some time to discuss the project with the team and prepare the project breakdown with price and timeline estimates. We’ll discuss the results with you and start our travel app development process.
UI/UX design
You and our design team will go through some preparatory steps. Our designers will create a design concept that reflects key elements of the travel app’s visual style and approve it with you. If the interface is complex, we may also create wireframes or a clickable prototype of the app. After that, we’ll create a fully-fledged interface design and discuss it with you again to prove it is the one you expect to get.
Development
After the interface mockup is completed, we’ll start the tech part of the travel app development. During this stage, our engineers will write code to develop all app features and establish scalable infrastructure. The entire process will be divided into 2–3 week sprints. After each sprint, you will get tangible results that our manager will present to you.
Testing
In the process of the app development, we cover the code with tests. We test the created web and mobile apps manually and with the help of Sentry and Datadog to find code errors and bugs. We also use tools for performance monitoring to find and improve the issues with loading speed. Finally, the app is tested by the managers and team leads to ensure frictionless release.
Release
We’ll deploy your travel application in the production environment or send it to the stores if it’s a mobile app. We develop mobile apps strictly following guidelines to speed up the verification in Google Play and App Store.
Post-release maintenance
After the first version of the app is released, we can keep working with it. First of all, we’ll continue to support the IT environment of your app. We can also enhance your travel app with new features based on feedback from your users or fix bugs if they occur.
Portfolio
UK Retreats
Web app development, React, Laravel
The UK Retreats owner had a database of unique apartments across the UK that needed to be monetized. That’s why there was a need for a digital resource where all the locations could be presented.
The task of our travel app development company was to develop a mobile-first web travel application. Our team has managed to release the MVP within 4 months. During this time, we have analyzed the requirements of our customers, and designed and developed a fully-functioning app. Read the full case to find out how our team accomplished the work within such a short timeframe.
Web app for accommodation providers
Web app development, Angular, Django
A customer requested our travel app development company to create a web platform where accommodation providers could upload information about their apartments and receive bookings from the users. The customer was planning to charge the commission from all the in-app transactions.
During this project, we collected customers’ requirements and designed and developed the interface. We enabled the booking process by integrating Expedia and implemented in-app payments using Stripe. Find out more about the solutions that we implemented during this project.
Property management web app
Web app development, UI/UX design
The hotel owner approached us with the need for a streamlined system to manage maintenance and repair tasks efficiently. They required a convenient tool to collect all maintenance requests and assign them to hotel workers.
Our task as an app development company was to design a web application where the hotel manager could consolidate all resident requests and delegate tasks to the appropriate personnel. The design team completed the project within 2 weeks, delivering a comprehensive design mockup, an animated prototype, a full-fledged design, and a UI Kit to scale the app.

FAQ
Can you develop a flight booking app?
Does your app development company help with legal issues?
What are APIs and why does my travel software need them?
APIs, or Application Programming Interfaces, allow different software applications to communicate and share data. IT engineers use APIs to integrate third-party functionality into the app without building it from scratch. For example, in the process of mobile app development, they can implement an interactive map with the help of Google Maps and Google Geocoding API without building this functionality from scratch.
Your travel software needs APIs to access real-time information, like flight schedules and hotel availability, from various sources. This helps your software provide accurate, up-to-date details to users. All in all, APIs ease up the software development process, enable IT developers to add advanced features, and ensure a smooth user experience.
