Create a Mobile App for Your Web Site, Business or Brand
Everyone knows that more and more people are using their mobile devices to browse the internet and stay connected 24 hours a day. Even Facebook is struggling with the transition to mobile and how they can continue to monetize their traffic of almost a billion users that are on their network. Even though Facebook isn’t serving ads to the millions of users that have the Facebook App installed on their phones, the sheer volume of people using their app is still quite powerful.
Mobile apps and marketing are quickly becoming one of the top methods for increasing traffic to web sites and businesses. With that in mind, if you don’t currently have an app of your own, you need to be asking yourself why? It’s not just web sites and blogs that should have a mobile app of their own, but also local businesses, sports teams, events, organizations, brands and really anything else you can think of.
One of the biggest reasons why so many people and businesses still don’t have an app of their own, is simply because they don’t know how or don’t have the money to hire a programmer and designer to put an app together. Fortunately there are online sites like Shoutem.com which makes the design process much easier and cheaper than finding your own design team.
Shoutem.com specializes in making the process of creating mobile apps easy. Once you sign up to their web site you can walk through the creation process, design applications to match the look and feel of your current web sites and brands, and all add any additional content, rss feeds or other features you may want to add to your app. This sure beats the process of having to find a programmer and designer on oDesk or eLance and continually working with them to create something you like, then dealing with the higher freelance costs.
