  • Don't get red-phoned
    • With almost 10 million mobile web users in South Africa alone, brands and businesses can no longer ignore this important channel to market. It is a fast growing channel with more and more people adopting the mobile phone as their gateway to the internet. It's vital that brands consider the mobile internet and how to ensure their customers get the same quality experience on their phones as they would using their PC, telephone or going to the store.
  • It's all about business
    • We create mobile web sites that work. Of course it's going to look impressive, but it's also going to create a call to action that will increase your reach and market potential. Creating a mobile web site that really works in the local market takes local knowledge and lots of local experience. Our team of mobile specialists bring that special blend of hard core technical knowledge about what works in Southern Africa with a strategic intuition about how South Africans behave online – we create mobile web sites that work for your brand and your business.
  • Mobile development made simple
    • Developing for mobile can be daunting. There are so many questions you need to ask before even starting to imagine what the site or service will look like and what people will do once they get there.
       
      Our experience and expertise mean you don't need to get bogged down in the platform, integration and device detail. Just leave the technology stuff to us and concentrate on the most important part – what you want your customers’ experience of the site to be.  
       
      We will do all the techie and strategy stuff like:
      • Business analysis
      • Usability strategy
      • Technical design and architecture
      • Integration with existing web infrastructure
      • Mobile internet development to deliver to the widest number of devices
      • Mobile application/ widget development across all mobile platforms: Java, Symbian, iPhone, Android, Bada and Blackberry
      • MXit Integration
      • Mobile billing solution development
      • Mobile content sourcing
      • Interactive SMS services
  • Mobile development that doesn't leave you behind
    • We will guide you through the process from strategy to delivery. Our philosophy of simplifying mobile is supported by our approach to results. We like them. We like to deliver them and mostly we like to exceed our clients' expectations around the results they will receive.
