Mobile Apps
Ready to grow your business with mobile? A mobile app can help improve customer relationships as well as internal business processes. A fast-loading seamless mobile experience that keeps users from abandoning the session is crucial. After all, according to google, 53% of users will abandon a site if it takes more than 3 seconds to load.
Historically, developing a native mobile app for the 2 main platforms, Apple’s IOS and Google’s Android was a very costly prospect. According to Forrester, porting a mobile app "adds a 50% to 70% increment of the cost of the original app for every new mobile operating system an app needs to run on." Budgets for such projects could easily get into the hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Clearly, building a native app for each operating system or phone type is not always the best idea. In fact, native app development may be impractical for all businesses. As leading tech writer Matt Asay wrote, “Part of this stems from a mobile web experience that keeps getting better.”
With the advent of hybrid mobile frameworks, a single code base can be used to deliver a mobile application that looks and feels just like a native app. Additionally, the same code can be leveraged for not just your mobile app, but your website too. The reusability of modern web frameworks makes this possible. While not all parts of your site can be used across web and mobile, this can lead to significant saving over having to develop a website, a iPhone app, Android app, and potentially a Windows phone app.
How does this all translate into more business? Let’s break it down into categories:
E-Commerce
To take advantage of increasing conversions on mobile, your hybrid app needs to load and respond quickly and never make a user wonder what’s going on. Luckily with new technologies such as Hybrid mobile frameworks, progressive web apps, and responsive designs that work just as well on mobile as they do on the desktop, your digital presence can be optimized to increase user engagement across the board.
Private Membership Sites for Customers
E-commerce requires a significant effort in ensuring that your sites are secure. These same security platforms can be leveraged to secure your mobile app for other needs. Membership sites that provide exclusive content, digital downloads, music, video, you name it, it can be done.
Imagine a framework that allows you to host your content across mobile devices whether it be an iPhone, iPad, surface tablet, Android phone. The key is that the user experience should be fast and consistent.
