The “cool” factor. You and your company will be associated with moving forward while your competitors lag behind.

And now…on to the FEATURES…

Text, Images, and HTML Editor

Don't let the name or the simplicity of her appearance deceive you. The Text Widget is much more than just text. With it, we can also embed images, embed video, and even use it as an HTML editor so that we can customize it however you like.

This gives us some super powerful options and major flexibility. We can also give YOU access so you can do your own updates if you prefer.

Web ViewWeb View gives your users a native in-app experience, but allows you to link to various external online content such as web pages, documents, food ordering, shopping carts, and pretty much anything else that has a unique url pointing to it.

You can hang with the big boys with this feature.

Contact Information

Provide important contact information regarding your business including a text field (for hours of operation, about information, mission statement, etc.), email, phone number, address, Facebook link, Twitter link, Google Plus link, Instagram link, and LinkedIn link.

YOUR information at their fingertips. One click.

Events

The Event Calendar is a great way to keep your users up to date on the events and happenings associated with your business or organization.

You can either create manually entered events (including recurring events) or simply sync in your iCal feed from a variety of providers. You can include and create as many event sections as you would like.

Loyalty Program

Our Loyalty Program is a great system that allows your users to accumulate points and redeem these points for specials and incentives that you offer.

Unlike other “punch card” systems, our Loyalty Program works for any type of business because it allows you to set any and all promotions that you want and associate a redemption point value that you feel is appropriate based on profit margin and availability.

Keep customers coming back for more great products and services!

People

Give your users information about your staff members, leadership, etc. We can include pictures, name, position title, description/bio/text, videos, phone number, email, website, Twitter, Facebook, Google+, Instagram, and LinkedIn.

We can create a beautiful Staff Directory that isn’t the typical, boring thing you see on so many websites and apps…or…let us get creative!

Places

Display locations in both a list and map view layout. Whether you have multiple locations for your business or you want to display a directory of businesses, we can do so.

We can also create multiple sections so that your users can refine their search if they so choose. Way cool! Very helpful.

Each entry will give information about the places / locations such as instant GPS directions, photos, description, contact info, and more.

Previewer App

Our Exclusive Previewer App allows you to view your app as it exists…while we are still in development! Very few developers are capable of – or would even think of providing this option.

The Preview App will pull up all of the content in what we call “draft mode. We can see changes before we push those changes out to all of the app users.

Incredible.

Push Notifications

For my money – this is what a smartphone app is all about.

Push Notifications are a great way to communicate to your audience in real time. When enabled, Push Notifications have an incredibly high read rate (upwards of 90%) because they act like text messages in that they pop up right on the front of your users’ devices, stay in the notification center of the device, pop up in the app when clicked, and stay in the notification center of the app itself.

We even go beyond this…

Selective Push Notifications - This feature allows you to create channels to which your users can subscribe and then send out corresponding Push Notifications to these channels. Send the right messages to the right people!

Social MediaOur Social Media option (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc.) is a great way to point people to your online social media pages –from the app - so that you can help them to engage with you on a broader level.

Each one of these buttons / icons will take your users to your page while keeping them in the native environment of the app.

We also have a Social Wall which extends the power of your app even more! Users can even be notified via the Push Notifications when there is activity on their social wall.

Can You Benefit From an App?We are NOT that sleazy salesman.

We do however believe that many small businesses can leverage the upswing in the smartphone and mobile trends.

We said many…not all.

There are indeed some industries and businesses that we don’t see a good fit with a smartphone app right now.
