Mobile Application Development
From Retail to Safari Parks!! Whatever you do, we have the necessary experience and knowledge to design a mobile app just for YOUR business. Stay connected to YOUR customers & clients, whenever, wherever they are. Be one step ahead of your competitors and promote your company by offering a convenient way to shop, advise or simply inform your customers about what is happening as it happens!
Mobile devices are being used more and more to interact and transact between customer and client and between the office and remote staff. This means that businesses have additional channels through which to communicate their message to their clients and also more direct 'live' ways to provide and recieve information between staff and departments.
Our mobile apps can allow your clients to place orders on the move and communicate and interact with your business no matter where they are - all of which helps to strengthen your relationship with your customers and maintain brand loyalty.
Mobile app development is all about bringing the right information to your mobile users, wherever they are - and making sure it's in a mobile friendly format.
Typical functions you might want from a mobile app:
- Point-of-Delivery confirmation
- Updating stock levels
- Filling in job sheets whilst out of the office
- Get or update client information "as it happens"
- Store finder Apps for customers
- Mobile appointment booking
- Appointment booking
- Order products / services
- Customer information services / notifications
Mobile App Development - The Process
First we will examine your business and client base to identify how mobile app development could best help you.
Then we will provide a mock up of a few suggestions showing how your mobile app would look and what it can do for your customers.
We will then begin the actual mobile app development process and build and test the application for your approval.
Once approved by you, if it is for iPhone, we will begin the Apple Approval Process - for other platforms we will submit to the relevant app store.
Once in the app stores teh fruits of your mobile app development can be downloaded and used by your customers.
It is important to note that Apple have very strict rules about how an app can look and what content it can have!
Below are some things to bear in mind.
- Your app should give your customers something they don't already get from your website.
- Your app should not be simply a marketing information resource - it needs to provide a function.
- Your app should provide the end user with a useful function that is mobile specific.
There are many more guidelines and mobile apps do get rejected frequently on their first submission.
These restrictions do not apply to the same extent to Android and Blackberry app stores.
Let Us Do Your Mobile App Development!
The way people (your customers) are engaging with media such as the internet is changing!
A growing percentage of all website hits are from mobile devices and this trend is set to continue. In addition more and more people are using downloaded 'Apps' to communicate their needs with service providers (such as ordering a takeaway, booking a hotel etc)
What Does That Mean For Me?
In short it means you need to ensure your website is mobile friendly and that you consider creating an App for your clients that adds value to your service:
- Does your website detect the browser being used and redirect appropriately?
- Does your website use Flash? No Apple iPhones support flash so they won't be able to see your website on the move!
- Can people read the text on your site using a small mobile device?
- Would your clients like to get in touch with you more easily?
- Do you want differentiate your service from the competition by offering more value through a useful App?
We can help optimise your existing website so that you can maximise the return and audience figures of your existing web presence.
We can provide mobile app development services which in addition to providing benefits to your clients will also generate you free exposure on the iTunes App store - one of the busiest web sites in the world.
