DESIGNING ADMIN PANELS FOR MOBILE APPLICATIONS

As a rule, the admin panel is not visible to ordinary users, but this does not mean that you can not care about its design. A high-quality convenient admin panel will greatly simplify the administration of the application, which means it will save labor and time; and ultimately money.

The development of a mobile application with an admin panel should always begin with UX prototyping and architecture design – if this is not done at the first stage, the development can be significantly delayed due to constant changes made at all stages.

Therefore, even before programming, you need to do the following:

• define the target audience of the application;
• think over the project, write scripts for the interaction of the administrator with the admin panel and users;
• write terms of reference based on the project;
• create a working prototype that will display all screens of the admin panel;
• decide which technologies will be used in the development.

All of the above stages can be undertaken by our team. AVADA MEDIA engineers design administrative panels for both ready-made applications and those that we develop from scratch.

To begin with, we create a conceptual use case model that reflects all possible types of interaction between the administrator and the panel and the results of these actions. A specification is also created – the definition of key concepts with decoding. For example, if there are administrators and moderators in the administrative panel, the authority of each of the groups and possible actions must be specified. A custom script is created to save administrators from confusion and repetition.

The UX / UI layout of the application admin panel is created in Moqups . The final prototype can be presented to the customer for approval. It displays all screens, possible scenarios and relationships that may arise during operation. Only after the creation and approval of the prototype can it be decided by what means the administrative panel will be developed. It depends on the application for which it is created. In particular, on whether this application is native or cross-platform, how it is being promoted and whether there is a plan for development and scaling.

By creating an admin panel without preliminary design, you can end up with an extremely inconvenient and full of bugs product, the rework of which will require even more resources and time. A high-quality project, on the other hand, will save key resources, and application administration will greatly simplify and reduce the cost.

When ordering design at AVADA-MEDIA, you get a finished project, the most detailed technical task that will be clear to any designer and developer.

Such a project is the foundation of your future product, give it due attention!
