Our move into hybrid Website and iOS/Android Apps

There has been an explosion of mobile applications in recent times, coinciding with the expansion and developments in the digital marketplace. As a result, companies of all sizes, in all industries and in every country have begun to appreciate how mobile applications can increase engagement with their customers.

I’m sure most small businesses would love to have their customers viewing, interacting & buying through their mobile devices and yet only a fraction of these businesses actually have a mobile app available.

Looking into this we’ve discovered that businesses are turned away by the price tag that comes with mobile app development and rightly so; an entry level iOS only app will probably set your business back $10,000 while apps with advanced features like shopping carts, user logins and more start to venture into the $40,000-$100,000 price brackets.

And after dropping that money just to get the app built you have to maintain it using a completely separate set of admin tools to your website. For the past few years we’ve been looking into ways to reduce this cost as well as make it easier for small businesses to get into the app market and manage apps in an ongoing basis.

Introducing the G-Force hybrid web-app solution!

In the simplest terms our hybrid solution provides you with a single application, built on the same powerful website technology we use for all our website projects (WordPress of course!) that delivers to your users a website, an iOS app and an Android app. This means that you as a small business only need to update content in a single user-friendly platform while enjoying all the benefits that come from engaging your customers across multiple channels. If that doesn’t already sound great already wait for the best part, our hybrid web-app solutions cost a fraction of traditional app development for new projects while existing websites can addon this incredible featureset to their site.

One of the first apps we pioneered with this platform is Common Room who are providing a personalised digital noticeboard to university students in Western Australia. Check out the app on iOS / Android.
