Control LED strip via WiFi(esp8266)

We want to control four +-5m led strips via wifi with ios app. At this moment we are working with arduino in combination with an esp8266 WiFi module, but are not skilled enough to come to a working solution for this project. The task we ask you to do is to connect the right hardware combined with the right code so that we can control the LEDstrips by ios app(wich is being made by another party).
