Why Is Flutter Software Effective For Your Business?

Why is Flutter software effective for your business? Out of all the frameworks available, what can Flutter do that’s special and beneficial for your business? That’s exactly what I’ll be discussing in this piece.

Note that this isn’t a “Flutter review”, meaning, while we sure will discuss the features of Flutter, the prime focus will be discussing how these features can help your business.

If you’re confused about which framework to use for your business, or if you know Flutter is good but don’t exactly know why, this piece is for you.

What is Flutter? 

Flutter is a code framework that’s backed by Google. In simple words, it lets you build apps. The one major and primary benefit it offers over other frameworks is cross-platform development. This means, you can write your code once and use it across multiple operating systems and devices.

Due to the single codebase, multiple benefits can be availed, primarily the saving of time, energy, costs, errors and much more. Pre-built widgets, declarative UI, Skia are some of the features that we’ll discuss throughout this piece.  

The Business Benefits of Flutter Software

While the benefits of using Flutter software are many, here are a few primary ones that anyone can list of the top off their heads:

• Speed 
• Speed (and pre-designed widgets)
• Consistency and error-free compilation 
• Open source
• Lower development costs 

Got your attention? Let’s discuss in detail. 

Cross-platform support and MVP development 

Flutter lets you use your code across multiple platforms. The same code can be used for Android, iOS, macOS, Linux etc. The Skia engine also ensures support for much older devices.

This obviously means you save hours and hours of coding time. It also lets you utilize MVP (Minimum Viable Product) development. You can create bare-bone, beta apps faster for early testing. This also means you can cater to a larger audience-base across all platforms and your app can be tested, monetized better.

Speed (with pre-built widgets and hot reloads)

The one obvious benefit is speed. While Flutter doesn’t actually “increase” your speed, it helps your team get more done in a shorter span of time which helps reduce their development time.This is simply because now you’re writing your code once instead of 4 different times.

Another factor that saves you time is Flutter’s pre-designed widgets. You don’t have to code buttons, text inputs or other basic elements. 

In case you don’t like what Flutter is offering, it also has a pretty massive library of third-party widgets! 

Hot Reloading is another Flutter feature which adds to the overall speed. It basically reflects the changes made to the code instantly without having to reload or manually compile and run the code. 

Consistency and error-free compilation 

So, you’re literally using the exact same code for all the platforms. This eliminates two major problems that generally occur with UI development.

For starters, your app will be exactly the same across all platforms. Users will not have to re-learn the app just because they change the app. Plus, it’s just a better UI ethic, isn’t it?

Secondly, you write the code just once. This massively eliminates the chances of error as you only have one chance to make a mistake, and it only requires a single correction as well.

Open source and a massive dev community 

Flutter is open source. This of course means it’s free but that’s not of importance for your business. What’s more important is the fact that being open source means you do not have to play around with licences, getting permissions or legal trouble in the future. 

Moreover, you aren’t dependent on a single vendor to keep supporting you. This also translates into more liberty and freedom with your app. 

Moreover, Flutter has a pretty supportive community online .This ensures that even if you own a small or medium business, without a massive in-house team, you won’t be left stranded. 

You can easily find tutorials, videos or even live help from other Flutter enthusiasts online. 

Lower development costs 

It’s almost a “default benefit” of saving time, isn’t it? You’re developing multiple times faster than you generally would. In fact, you’re developing faster “without” having to increase your team. 

Or, in other words, you can develop at 4x speed without having to employ a 4x team, which translates into saved costs. 

Conclusion- Why Is Flutter Software Effective For Your Business?

I hope you’ve got an idea how Flutter helps your business, haven’t you? Of course, there are alternatives to Flutter. However, none offer all the benefits in a single package like Flutter does.  

Flutter basically helps not just the actual application but also your team. It’s like both your consumers as well as the developers are happy. 

Now, you either could do everything from scratch on your own or you can employ experienced experts and outsource the job to them. Point being, Flutter will boost your business one way or another.
