Requirements Gathering
WestLink follows design thinking processes when gathering requirements. This involves value stream mapping to engage with users and stakeholders to identify their needs, ideate solutions, and iteratively refine product requirements and designs, while optimizing processes to deliver maximum value efficiently. Open communication, feedback, and validation are key throughout the process to ensure a successful, user-centric product.
Proposal & Contract
Once the requirements are defined, we’ll prepare a proposal outlining the scope of work, timeline, and cost. If both parties agree on the proposal, a contract is signed to formalize the agreement.
Design
The next step is to create designs for the software, including wireframes, mockups, and user interfaces. The client will review and approve these designs before our team moves on to the development phase.
Development
The development phase involves writing the code for the software. We will typically follow an agile or iterative development methodology, with regular check-ins and demos to keep you informed of progress.
Quality Assurance
Once each software release is developed, it is thoroughly tested to ensure it meets requirements and is defect-free. This may involve manual testing, automated testing, and user acceptance testing.
Deployment
Once the software has been tested and approved, it is deployed to the production environment. We provide support during the deployment phase to ensure the software functions properly.
Maintenance & Support
After deployment, your software may require ongoing maintenance and support to address issues and make updates. WestLink can provide software maintenance and support on a continuous or ad hoc basis.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a wearable app?
A wearable app is a software application designed to run on wearable devices like smartwatches or fitness trackers. These apps are created to leverage the capabilities of wearable devices and provide users with convenient access to various features and functionalities directly from their wrists or bodies. Wearable apps can be used for multiple purposes, including health and fitness tracking, notifications and alerts, communication, productivity tools, navigation, entertainment, and more.
What are the benefits of wearable app development?
Wearable apps provide users with a convenient, hands-free way to interact with your company and can facilitate the growth of more meaningful relationships with customers. With direct access to customers’ wrists, wearable technology allows businesses to deliver personalized offers to customers and gain valuable insights into them. These apps can also help companies reach a wider audience, enhance brand visibility, and demonstrate innovation.
What are the key features to consider when developing a wearable app?
When developing a wearable app, focusing on key features that enhance functionality and improve the user experience is essential. A minimalistic and context-aware design should be adopted to maximize the limited screen space on wearable devices. Implementing concise and actionable notifications and alerts also improves engagement and ensures the user can quickly take necessary actions. It is also recommended to integrate the wearable app with a companion mobile app that provides additional functionalities and access to more comprehensive features.
Does WestLink provide post-launch app maintenance, support and enhancements?
Absolutely! We understand that wearable app development is an ongoing process, and we are committed to providing post-launch support and enhancements, including bug fixes, updates, and new feature additions as needed. We offer support and maintenance packages to address any issues, bugs, or performance optimizations that may arise after the initial launch.
What tools does WestLink use for wearable app design?
WestLink utilizes Figma as our primary design tool. Figma enables our designers to create interactive prototypes, wireframes, and visual designs while fostering client collaboration. Multiple stakeholders can provide feedback and iterate on designs allowing for real-time collaboration. Figma’s version control and design specifications streamline the handoff to the development team, ensuring accurate implementation.
How does WestLink handle communication and collaboration throughout the app development process?
WestLink prioritizes effective communication and collaboration with our clients throughout the development process. We use Slack as our primary communication tool, enabling real-time messaging, file sharing, and quick discussions. This ensures our team and clients can easily stay connected and quickly address queries or concerns. We also conduct regular status update meetings to keep everyone aligned and updated on the project’s progress, typically on Zoom.
