FAQs

Our development process is structured, transparent, and client-centered. Here is how we work:

Step 1 — Free Consultation (1 to 2 days)
We discuss your idea, goals, target audience, and budget. This can be done by phone, WhatsApp, email, or in person in Ouagadougou.

Step 2 — Scope Definition and Quote (2 to 3 days)
We formalize your project in a detailed specification document listing all features and functionalities. We then submit a clear, itemized quote with timeline and pricing.

Step 3 — Design and Wireframes (1 to 2 weeks)
Our design team creates visual mockups of your application's interface. You review and approve the design before development begins — ensuring the final product looks exactly how you envisioned it.

Step 4 — Development (varies by project complexity)
We develop your application in regular sprints. You receive testable builds throughout the development cycle and can provide feedback at every stage. No surprises at delivery.

Step 5 — Testing and Quality Assurance (1 to 2 weeks)
We thoroughly test the application on multiple real devices, covering different screen sizes, OS versions, and usage scenarios. All identified bugs are fixed before final delivery.

Step 6 — Delivery and Store Publication
We deliver the complete application, hand over the source code and all accesses, and manage the publication on the Play Store and/or App Store.

Step 7 — Post-Launch Support
We remain available after launch to address any issues, answer questions, and plan future improvements.

Yes — absolutely and without reservation. Upon full payment and project completion, you are the sole owner of the complete source code of your application. This is a fundamental principle at DavTech.

At project delivery, we provide you with:
- The complete, commented source code
- All project files (Flutter, Android Studio, Xcode, etc.)
- Basic technical documentation
- Full access to all accounts and services created for your project (Firebase, Google Play Console, App Store Connect, etc.)
- All API keys and configurations related to your application

Once delivered, you are free to continue developing your application with our team or with any other developer. The code is yours entirely, with no hidden restrictions or ongoing licensing fees.

Absolutely. At DavTech, we consider the launch of your application as the beginning of a new phase, not the end of the project. Mobile applications require regular maintenance to remain secure, high-performing, and compatible with evolving operating systems.

Our post-launch maintenance services include:
- Bug fixing and crash resolution based on user reports
- Compatibility updates for new Android and iOS versions
- Performance optimization and speed improvements
- Adding new features as your business evolves
- Server and database monitoring
- Regular data backups

We offer monthly maintenance contracts adapted to the size and complexity of your project. These contracts give you peace of mind knowing that your application is continuously monitored and kept up-to-date.

Yes, this is one of our key specialties and a critical feature for applications targeting the Burkinabe and West African market.

We integrate all major mobile payment solutions used in the region:
- Orange Money (via the official Orange Money API)
- Moov Money (Flooz)
- Wave
- CinetPay (multi-operator payment aggregator)
- Stripe (for international card payments)
- PayPal

Mobile Money integration is particularly important in our market because a large portion of users do not have traditional bank accounts or credit cards, but actively use their mobile phones for everyday financial transactions. An app that includes Mobile Money payment sees significantly higher adoption rates in Burkina Faso and the broader West African region.

We handle all technical aspects of the API integration, including sandbox testing, before deploying to the production environment. We ensure that payment flows are smooth, secure, and compliant with each operator's requirements.

Yes, we manage the complete publication process for your application on both major app stores.

For the Google Play Store (Android):
- Building and signing the release APK/AAB file
- Writing the store listing: title, description, keywords, screenshots
- Submitting to Google for review and tracking approval status
- Publishing on your Google Developer account (or creating one if needed — one-time $25 USD fee)

For the Apple App Store (iOS):
- Building and signing the iOS release version
- Writing the App Store listing: title, description, keywords
- Submitting for Apple review and managing any feedback
- Publishing on your Apple Developer account (annual fee of $99 USD required)

We also train you on how to update your application after delivery so that you can publish future versions independently, without needing to contact us for every update.

Development timelines vary depending on the complexity and scope of your project. Here are our general estimates:

- Simple application (informational, company profile, static content): 2 to 4 weeks
- Mid-range application (user login, database integration, push notifications, standard features): 4 to 8 weeks
- Complex application (payment integration, interactive maps, admin dashboard, multiple user roles): 2 to 5 months

These timelines include all phases: discovery, design, development, quality testing, bug fixing, and deployment preparation. We follow an agile methodology, sharing progress with you regularly throughout the project. You will have the opportunity to test and provide feedback on intermediate builds before the final delivery.

For urgent projects, we can adapt our team allocation to accelerate delivery. Share your constraints with us and we will find the best approach together.

The cost of a mobile application depends on several factors: the complexity of the features, the number of screens and user flows, the integrations required (payment, maps, GPS, third-party APIs), the design quality, and the delivery timeline.

As a general indication:
- Simple app (information display, catalog, company profile): starting from 150,000 FCFA
- Mid-range app (user authentication, database, push notifications, standard features): between 300,000 and 800,000 FCFA
- Complex app (mobile payment, real-time geolocation, admin dashboard, multiple user roles, API integrations): starting from 1,000,000 FCFA

These figures are estimates only. Every project is unique, and we always provide a free, personalized quote after thoroughly understanding your requirements.

This is one of the most common questions our clients ask before starting a project, and it is an important one.

A native application is built specifically for a single operating system — Android (using Kotlin or Java) or iOS (using Swift). It delivers the best possible performance and full access to all device features and APIs. This is the ideal choice if you have a separate budget for each platform and require very platform-specific functionality.

A Flutter application is built using Google's open-source UI framework, which allows you to create one application that runs natively on both Android AND iOS. The code is written once and deployed on both platforms with near-native performance. Flutter apps feature beautiful, modern interfaces and are significantly faster and more cost-effective to develop.

At DavTech, we recommend Flutter for the majority of our projects because it offers an excellent cost-to-quality ratio, consistent design across platforms, and simplified long-term maintenance. We always guide you toward the solution that best fits your goals, timeline, and budget.

DavTech develops all types of mobile applications tailored to your specific needs and budget. We work on native Android (Java/Kotlin) and iOS (Swift) applications, as well as cross-platform apps with Flutter, which allows you to target both Android and iOS simultaneously from a single codebase.

Here are some of the application types we build:
- E-commerce and online store apps
- Mobile payment apps with Mobile Money integration (Orange Money, Moov Money, Wave)
- Delivery and marketplace apps
- Business management tools (ERP, CRM, inventory management)
- Educational and e-learning platforms
- Health and wellness apps
- Entertainment and media apps
- Community and social networking apps
- Public service and administrative apps

Whatever your idea, our team guides you from initial concept to publishing on the Google Play Store and Apple App Store.
