Creating a Companion App for Your Business

If you have a successful web application for your customers, employees or partners and they work great on desktop browsers, but not very well on smartphones and tablets.

How do you make your websites phone-friendly?

You may have a web application for your customers, employees or partners that work well on desktops, but horrible on smartphones. You have options to consider. Find out how to make your site phone-friendly.

At iScripts, we have seen these scenarios many times. There are a couple of options to consider.  One way is to create a mobile version of your website, but the most common solution is to create a  mobile app companion.

If you already have a website, it is fairly easy to link the app to an existing website and its database. Because of this, most of the work would be done on the website. Normally the mobile app could be very lightweight initially.

For this, we usually create a small API to connect with the mobile app to avoid any disturbance to the existing web app.  To make a website responsive, we can also create something very similar.  By this method, your web app can “talk” directly to your mobile app companion.

We have a line of professional-grade premade apps.  These apps were designed to save you the time, headache and financial resources that can be swallowed if built from scratch.  These iPhone apps can also be tailored to fit your individual needs if needed.

Don’t limit your users or cause them to become frustrated with an inaccessible website. This solution can work well even if you have web applications that handle ordering systems, CRM databases or other systematic operations and processes.
