Additionally I can provide advice on digital mobile strategy including native apps, mobile friendly websites, ecommerce and email campaigns. The emergence of high speed connectivity on mobile devices means that mobile should be a key part of any marketing communications or sales strategy to maximise revenue or awareness.
User Interface Design
An easy to use user interface is an essential aspect of all mobile and web applications. It is a compelling way to express the essence of your brand. I use the latest tools and methods to provide intuitive user interface designs. As mobile devices evolve to include increasingly high resolution and high quality displays, visually engaging user interface design is paramount to a successful app. Many new apps are being launched and updated every day, this means that the environment is becoming increasingly competitive, and users often have alternative choices. Users are less likely to uninstall an app, or search for others, if they instantly feel at home with the interface.
I offer well considered, well designed user interfaces. I recognise that there are different user interface conventions amongst different platforms, and by designing interfaces that are compliant with these conventions, users will feel instantly familiar with the app.
Mobile Websites
By using responsive CSS and HTML code, all websites built by Mobile Appz are mobile friendly for smart phone users. Solid, tried and tested mobile frameworks form the foundations of the code. Mobile friendly websites will soon attract a higher Google ranking. A successful website is founded on an understanding of user needs and preferences. I always aim to produce websites which are easy to use and meet visitor expectations. I have extensive experience of designing and developing websites and have a thorough knowledge and understanding of the associated technologies. Additionally an understanding of mobile development best practises, search engine optimisation and web standards allows me to deliver easy to find, user focussed websites.
I recognize that the way people access the internet is changing, and increasingly powerful mobile devices with fast data connections are fuelling this change. This is changing the way that the world does business.
WordPress content management facilities will allow you to create and edit your content quickly and easily. You can even edit or add pages to your website on the move with a smartphone or tablet with internet connection. I will analyse key competitors websites, your company attributes, target market, key products and services, company vision and mission to determine the optimal design solution for your website. This will provide customers with an interactive company experience, and a no pressure sales environment. Following site launch, I can provide a maintenance plan, if required, and detailed analytics reports emailed to you on a periodic basis about website traffic statistics.
Mobile Apps
I specialise in designing and developing native iOS apps for the iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch, and I also build native Android apps for mobile phone and tablet devices.
Recently I have been working on some mobile application design projects for the Apple Watch called Transport Beacon and Music Beacon, both of which will use Ibeacons where available. If an Ibeacon signal isn’t found, GPS is used instead.
Apps can include Ibeacon connectivity and GPS location based functionality for uses such as providing location specific notifications and travel information. Event driven and location based notifications can be built in to any app.
By focussing on user goals, and utilising platform specific design standards and familiar design patterns, I aim to deliver easy to use mobile applications. An awareness of the constraints and benefits of mobile devices allows me to deliver an optimal user experience. Mobile devices are available in a wide range of shapes and sizes and apps are developed to adapt accordingly to these factors.
I aim to provide sleek and highly intuitive user interfaces and always apply user centred design principles and practises. I can create fully customised apps with map and location based functionality, with notification and messaging features. I can also create apps which utilise hardware and communications features such as telephony, SMS, Bluetooth, camera and hardware sensors.
I can ensure that your app reaches it’s intended audience by publishing it on the relevant stores, and can also deliver apps with in app billing services.
