This is a common scenario!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

You have a successful web application for your customers, employees or partners. They work great on desktop browsers, but not very well on smartphones and tablets.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

How do you make your website phone-friendly?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

At Armia Systems, we have seen these scenarios many times. There are a couple of options to consider. \u00a0One route is to create a mobile version of your website, but the most common solution is to create a\u00a0 mobile app companion.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

If you already have a website, it is fairly easy to link the app to an existing website<\/a> 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.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

For this, we usually create a small API to connect with the mobile app to avoid any disruption to the existing web app. \u00a0To make a website responsive, we can also create something very similar. \u00a0This way, your web app can “talk” directly to your mobile app companion<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

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.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Whether you would like to create a mobile version of your site or a mobile app companion, Armia Systems can easily deliver a viable and affordable solution for you. \u00a0We offer the e-business services you need to make your business a success.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Your needs are met with speed and precision by our highly trained team of IT professionals. Since we have created hundreds of web and mobile applications for clients from various industries, you can be certain we have the skills to handle your most demanding projects.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

How are Mobile Apps built?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The development of mobile apps is more expensive compared to web app development. The mobile apps are mostly platform-specific with advanced features and functionalities, thus they require more time and money. Native mobile apps are built-in specific languages and dedicated IDE depending on the platform. Each of the platforms has its own guidelines to follow for the deployment process. You can use cross-platform app development tools for the easiness of the process.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

For Android Native Apps – Language is Java and IDE is Android Studio and Eclipse. For Apple Native IOS –\u00a0 Language is Swift or Objective-C and IDE is XCode.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Many of the best mobile app development companies<\/a> are using tools and SDK provided by Apple and Google.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
