Validate ideas without major investments

This blog is machine translated to English.

Validating ideas for digital solutions is difficult. It requires time, money and technical skills. Actually, you run 2 risks here. First of all, the risk of investing in an idea that you don't know if it's a good idea. And secondly, the risk that what you use to validate your idea does not look like the final solution. After all, validating a proof of concept in the form of a beautifully designed mobile app offers more security than validating a mock-up. In this blog, I'll tell you how FlutterFlow addresses both risks and is therefore ideally suited to validate and further develop ideas for digital solutions.

Realizing new ideas is difficult

A lot of people walk around with a good idea. Maybe you have a good idea for a digital solution that would help your company work more efficiently. Or maybe you're walking as future startup founder around with the perfect app idea. Of course, you can start developing your idea, but:

  • How do you know if your idea resonates with your end users?
  • How do you avoid spending tons of money before you can test a first version of the solution?

The threshold for turning your idea into reality is often very high. It takes technical skills, time and money. Or maybe you should wait until your internal development team has time to take on new projects. Fortunately, there is a good way to validate ideas before making further investments. Using FlutterFlow:

  • We're building a first version of the solution on a platform with little to no licensing costs.
  • Can we quickly create apps that work on any platform and can be tested by real users.
  • Is the first version of the app immediately production-worthy and can we scale up further and further?

From proof of concept to go-live

I already have previously written about exactly what FlutterFlow is. The advantage of a low-code tool like FlutterFlow is that you can build apps relatively quickly. However, while most low-code tools charge high licensing costs, that's not so bad with FlutterFlow. In addition, building apps in FlutterFlow is relatively fast. So you can develop and validate ideas without major investments (in time or money).

But FlutterFlow is suitable for more than just building prototypes or proof of concepts. FlutterFlow apps are production-worthy and can scale with new needs and a growing user base. For example, apps with limited functionality can first be tested by a select group of test users on their phones. Are we satisfied with the test result and do we see a future in the idea? Then we will continue building and will eventually be able to roll out the app to many more users.

Something for you?

You may still have one of the following questions.

“Are we stuck with FlutterFlow when we build our first version with it?”

No, you are not stuck with FlutterFlow. Although FlutterFlow is an excellent choice for many projects, you may prefer to continue with a different tool or development method. All code generated by FlutterFlow can be exported, so you can work with developers to further develop the app. If you want to switch to another low-code tool, you will have to start building again, but at least your idea will already be validated at a low investment.

“Do FlutterFlow apps look professional?”

Yes, that is exactly one of the advantages of FlutterFlow. From the initial stages, for example, we can already build a beautifully designed proof of concept that works perfectly on multiple platforms. This way, the app can also be tested on mobile phones. So that's already a completely different experience than validating a mock-up or a roughly designed first version.

“Is it bad that I don't know exactly what my solution should look like yet?”

No, certainly not. We are happy to help you further develop your idea, build and validate the solution. With all our customers, we help to get ideas sharp before we build and test assumptions before we go live. We do this for larger companies, but also for startup founders with a good idea.
