Mobile Devices

The use of mobile devices and tablet PCs to browse the internet and other information is a trend which is certain to grow. Major telecom providers are predicting exponential growth in the uptake of tablets. It has even been suggested that there will be as many tablets in use in leading economies as mobile phones in the next 10-15 years.

What does this mean to you? In short it is essential your website will display well and work on mobile devices. Furthermore a website or application developed specifically for use on these devices may transform the fortunes of your business in the years to come.

 

Websites for Mobile Browsers

A website developed specifically to display on the smaller screens of mobile devices will ensure your visitors can find the key information they need, quickly and easily - even when experiencing limited connection speeds. Usually created alongside your main website we detect the browsing device being used to automatically display a version of your content which ensures you maximise the potential of every hit.

We deliver simplified menus, easy to navigate interfaces based on touch screen technologies, limited use of optimised images, effects and graphics to ensure usability. Content can be drawn from existing databases to enable easy management and updates of content via a central adimistration point.

 

iPhone, iPad and Android App Development

The creation of apps for Apple and Android devices has been a revolution. The ability to reach millions of users and place your brand in their hand on a daily basis is a powerful tool for any business. Melon can help you create a cost-effective app. This may have a niche usage for a limited number of users, such as your sales team, be intended as an industry changing idea which will generate revenue or just make it easier for your potential customers to find out more about your products.

Providing a free app, via which you can communicate key messages and make it easier for your customers to use your business could be the campaign you need. This unique call to action can be used in a marketing campaign and delivers a more passive approach to generating sales, awareness and building a database.

QR Codes

We are experienced in the creation and placement of QR codes. A QR code is one of those little black and white squares of seamingly random 'pixelelated squares' which are appearing on products and communication pieces.

QR codes are already a major part of day to day lives in the far east, with the US quickly following suit. Billboards, products, signage, retail environments and much more feature these codes to help consumers find essential information. Google is even featuring them on their business cards.

When the code is scanned by a smartphone (increasingly standard functionality), specific information, such as contact information, vcards, shopping information with price comparisons and reviews are displayed.

Although an emerging technology in the UK, we believe there is huge potential for this form of data sharing and transfer. if you would like to know more about how your product, services or sales processes could benefit from QR codes, please get in touch.
