How to change the look and feel of an application to surprise the customer?

When working on application development, one of the most important aspects is ultimately how the application is presented visually to the user. User experience, design and language preferences can make all the difference. In this article, we'll show you how to improve the look and feel of your app to wow your customers, using tools like AppSheet and Google Drive to customize key aspects such as logos, colors and language labels.

How to modify your app's logo and colors?

Maximizing the visual experience of your app is crucial, and a key element is the logo and the colors it reflects. Here's how to do it using AppSheet.

1. Google Drive settings:

   • Log in to Google Drive and navigate to the designated folder for AppSheet. If you are working on a project like Ferreshop, you should have all the information organized in folders with designated subfolders, e.g. AppSheet > Ferreshop > Resources.

2. Loading resources:

   • Place the logo and other graphics in the resources folder. Secure them, as these files are essential to customize your application and keeping a good organization is key for optimal progress.

3. Change logo in AppSheet:

   • In AppSheet, go to the Brand section under UX. Select the Custom option under AppLogo to link to the logo in your resources folder in Google Drive.

4. Color selection:

   • Maximiliano provided specific hex codes for the app colors. Use these codes in the Style option to ensure that the colors are as desired and performed correctly.

How to adapt the application to the client's preferred language?

To ensure that the application meets the customer's linguistic expectations, and works in the correct language, it is crucial to adjust all the language tags.

1. Localize tags:

   • Navigate to the Localize option under UX in AppSheet. Here you will have the full list of tags that need translation. By default, they are likely to appear in English, but if, as in this case, the client requires Spanish language, they should all be translated.

2. Additional tag configurations:

   • If you find labels difficult to modify, such as "Add", try accessing the Behavior menu, where you can adjust more specific appearance details within the application tables.

How to present the project to the client effectively?

You have made all the technical adjustments, now you need to show your work to the client. Here are some tips on how you can present it professionally and effectively.

1. Remote and physical presentations:

   • Make sure the meeting lasts no more than 30 minutes and schedule ahead of time. The presentation should be concise and focus on the critical aspects of the project.

2. Hands-on demonstration:

   • In a face-to-face presentation, installing the application on the client's phone and yours can positively impact. Show them how the functionalities are operational in real time, giving an illusion of professionalism and efficiency.

These techniques will not only transform the interface and functionality of your app, but will also greatly impact your customer's perception, presenting a well-designed product tailored exactly to their needs.
