The Challenge

While London offers numerous venues, few combine historical significance with modern amenities, making it difficult to host truly memorable gatherings. The newly redesigned app addresses this need by offering a comprehensive, user-friendly solution that showcases the museum's stunning spaces and the full range of options for customising an event.

• Previous Challenges: The client encountered setbacks due to missed deadlines and unsatisfactory results from the previous developer’s work.

• Growth Planning & App Scalability: The absence of a well-defined plan restricted the app’s capacity to handle increasing user demand.

• Need for UX Specialisation: Although the client had a solid understanding of web design, they required UX specialists to optimise the product.

The Solution

The British Museum Events app stands out by offering a seamless blend of history and modernity for event organisers. It provides detailed information on diverse hire spaces, approved suppliers, and customisable options to fit any occasion. Key features include a sleek new interface for easier navigation, high-resolution imagery, and the ability to personalise sections for your event, allowing guests to engage with agendas, menus, and more.

• Tech Stack: Implemented a native tech stack for seamless mobile development, enhancing compatibility and performance.

• Mobile Development Expertise: Assembled a team of mobile specialists to manage the transition and ensure a smooth rollout

• UX Enhancement: Applied UX expertise to redesign the app for an intuitive and cohesive mobile experience.

The Product

The British Museum Guide is a newly redesigned app that helps you explore and utilise the British Museum’s exceptional event and meeting spaces in central London. It offers detailed information on commercial hire spaces, approved suppliers, and a rich photo gallery for visual inspiration.

The app features a refreshed interface for effortless navigation and allows customisation for your event, including sections for agendas, menus, Q&A, and photo galleries. Optimised for ease of use and future growth.

Each feature is meticulously designed to support the planning and hosting of memorable events, ensuring a seamless experience for both organisers and guests.

“Working with Stakk was an absolute joy at The British Museum, unlike the many other firms we have previously worked with. They developed a sleek, user-friendly mobile app that has transformed the way visitors interact with our exhibits. Stakk's team was professional, responsive, and deeply committed to understanding our vision and goals.”

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Below are some of the common questions which may help you in your journey.

    Mobile app development costs in the UK range from £10,000 to £300,000. A basic app costs £10,000-£40,000, a moderately complex app costs £40,000-£100,000, and a feature-rich enterprise app costs £100,000-£300,000+.

    Building a mobile app takes 3-9 months on average. Simple apps require 2-4 months, medium complexity apps take 4-6 months, and complex enterprise applications need 6-12+ months from initial concept to App Store launch.

    Choose native app development (Swift for iOS, Kotlin for Android) for maximum performance, complex features, and best user experience. Choose cross-platform development (Flutter, React Native) to save 30-40% on costs and reduce time-to-market while maintaining good performance for most business apps.

    Mobile app development in the UK includes business analysis, UI/UX design, iOS and Android development, backend development, API integration, quality assurance testing, App Store submission, deployment, and ongoing maintenance support.

    iOS app development in the UK costs between £15,000 and £250,000. A simple iOS app costs £15,000-£45,000, a medium complexity app costs £45,000-£120,000, and a complex enterprise iOS app costs £120,000-£250,000+.

Start with both platforms if budget allows, or prioritize based on your target demographic—iOS for affluent users aged 25-45, Android for broader demographics and global reach.

    The mobile app development process consists of 6 key phases: Discovery & Planning (2-4 weeks), UI/UX Design (3-6 weeks), Development (8-20 weeks), Quality Assurance Testing (2-4 weeks), App Store Deployment (1-2 weeks), and ongoing Maintenance & Support.
