As Ferris Bueller wisely pontificated: "Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it." The same could be said about business opportunities.
If you're not leveraging the mobile web, you're missing out on a huge opportunity for your business, brand and content. Consumers are rapidly increasing their reliance on smart phones and portable internet-enabled devices to get work done, make purchasing decisions and connect with their peers. Heideldesign empowers our clients by giving them tools to create content, manage communities and directly appeal to their users wherever they are.
The dream of managing an internet empire on a remote beach is now a reality. As long as you have a mobile internet connection, you can keep your site updated with fresh content. You can answer site-submitted comments. You can push messages directly to your customers. And you can do it all with the same tool you use to manage your full website, Movable Type.
Movable Type's iPhone interface gives you a succinct set of tools for commonly-accessed tasks. It's just as easy as the full web interface; but optimized for smaller screens and mobile environments.
The mobile web isn't only a useful tool for content creators and managers; but it is a daily reality for consumers. Creating smart phone optimized websites tailored for specific devices allows you to create a custom experience for your readers and users. Heideldesign develops the mobile interfaces and ties them to Movable Type, keeping a single point of data entry for site owners. But, you're not limited to mobile web sites. We can also create iPhone apps that are powered by your web site content. By having a presence in Apple's iTunes store, your business will be on the leading edge of mobile development and satisfy the craving of your customers for a custom experience.
