Like how you maintain your new car/home, it’s equally crucial to maintain your web app. You don’t stop by just buying a new car/home, you regularly clean, paint, fix the repairs, and so on.
Similarly, a web app should be maintained frequently. You should check for software updates, fix bugs, and more for an optimal performance of your web app. It’s not possible without the help of a developer. So, it’s good if you confirm with your agency whether they will take care of the maintenance work.
At Netleaf Software, we provide web app maintenance services, where we’ll be resolving bug fixes, speed optimization, software updates, database management, and many more.

Making a successful revamp is in the hands of the developer. You can find out a well-experienced web app development service provider, by the steps they take. Before revamping, professional developers will take backups, review the existing web app, track the performance, and so on.

Today, people are consuming content from the internet on different devices & browsers. So, making your web app fit into all browsers, screen types & resolutions is the need of the hour. When your web app is not compatible, then user engagement and bounce rate will be the major issues.

12. Do you sign NDAs?
As you’re signing up with an agency for your web app development project, you’ll have to share your private details like phone number, login credentials, end-client’s details and so on. To give you an assurance of data security, the agency will sign an NDA with you.
Non-disclosure agreement (NDA) is a sensitive concern in web app development. This is a sign of accordance between you and the agency for your data without being vulnerable to thefts or fraudulent activities.
As your reliable web app partners, we at Netleaf Software, are so concerned about your privacy & data security. Before we start with the operations, as first things first, we sign proper NDAs with our clients & partners, so you can rest assured that your data is in safer hands.
13. How can I retain users on my web app?
For a web app to be active, both traffic and engagement matters. If your web app has appreciable figures for traffic as well as high bounce rate. Then, you should apply various interactions to keep your users engaged.
