Mobile / App Development

The rate at which users browse the Internet via smart phones, tablets and other similar mobile devices has increased staggeringly over the past 18 months, thanks largely to the increased capabilities of mobile devices and the ever-decreasing cost of owning such devices.

Adaptive can help with your mobile and app development requirements, from creating mobile-friendly versions of your existing website to developing bespoke mobile apps for iPhones/iPads, Android devices and more.

There are several approaches which we can take to mobile development depending on your requirements and audience:

Bespoke app development for iOS and Android

We can develop fully bespoke applications designed specifically for the platform(s) of your choice, be it Apple's iPhone/iPad products or the increasingly large number of phones and devices powered by the Android operating system. While apps need to be developed separately for both platforms, creating bespoke solutions for each platform enables you to create a completely tailored app for the devices in question.

App wrapper development

This is a more cost-effective method of developing customised apps for mobile devices, where a single application is developed using platform-independent technologies such as HTML5 and CSS3. The resulting product is then packaged into multiple 'app wrappers' for the different platforms.

Using this process enables you to develop a single app for multiple platforms in one go, without the need to provide tailored versions for each different mobile platform.

Mobile-friendly web development

Most modern mobile devices are now capable of displaying websites in much the same way as they are viewed via a PC. However, as mobile internet usage continues to increase, demand is growing for mobile-specific versions of websites, which adapt to the more restricted viewing space of a mobile device and provide an equally good user experience, regardless of whether the site is being viewed via PC or mobile.

Adaptive have been creating 'mobile-friendly' versions of websites for customers for a number of years. We have recently been utilised responsive design techniques in a number of projects, to provide intuitive and automatically resizing designs for websites which adapt according to the device they are being viewed on.
