Developers, Mobile No Comment

It is quite an evident fact that with each passing year, newer advancements and technology seem to pave their path. The similar rule applies to the year 2019. The New Year has led to the evolution of some of the most dynamic mobile application development trends. Let us have a look into the same:

1. Soaring Blockchain technology

This trend did not gain much of the limelight till the year 2018. It was only after the year 2018 that the financial institutions realized the benefits of the same and ended up making a fancy profit on the assets mainly.

Also, the experts suggest that this trend will hit the market greatly by the year 2024 as mobile applications tend to benefit from the decentralized currency platform.

2. Artificial intelligence and machine learning

All of us would agree to the fact that this concept is not at all new to us instead many sectors are aiming towards collaborating the human intelligence with that of a system.
The role of Artificial intelligence cannot be ignored in the field of business and this can be attributed to the great efficiency, accuracy in dealing with the real time situations and problem solving offered by it.

3. Surge of on-demand apps

The field of application development is expected to take a positive turn in the year 2019 as more and more sectors are opting for the on- demand applications.
If we talk about the popularity of the services offered by Taxify or uber- the major credit certainly goes to the on- demand apps.

4. Integration of the Wearable apps

As the name clearly suggests, it is quite evident that the smart wearables are becoming quite popular nowadays. These devices are primarily anchored by the wearable apps that in turn enables us to measure our heartbeat rate, sugar level, and calories, carry out some of our day to day tasks also without always carrying the laptops, tabs or mobile phones.
These wearables are both stylish and useful. With so many perks available, many businesses are trying to get the most out of this trend.

5. Chatbots

This concept also has gained immense popularity as it makes the real time communication between the client and the host/ service provider so much lucid.
Therefore many firms are investing in creating the most effective and advanced chatbots.

6. Internet on Things

The concept of internet is not at all new to any one of us. It is a force that has integrated so many aspects of our life. Many companies are making huge profit through this platform- be it e-commerce, education, etc.

7. Augmented reality and virtual reality

The main idea behind this concept is to make the overall experience a more user friendly and interactive.

8. Introduction of instant apps

The mobile platform has become so advanced and popular these days that many of our life’s parameters rely upon the same.

Mobile apps are both efficient, user friendly and do not require much of the memory space. Moreover, there are also applications like buzzfeed which work without installation. Great, isn’t it?

9. Mobile Payment services

Many of us make use of the various mobile applications in order to shop, pay our bills, transfer money, etc. This not only saves a great deal of our time, energy but has also turned out to be a blessing for the e-commerce business.

10. Enhanced app security

Another trend that will be observed in this area is that of advanced security because with so many things to do via this platform- protection from hackers is a must.

Do you need AMP?

Mobile, Web Design Tips No Comment

AMP-accelerated-mobile-pagesAre you thinking as to why you should go with AMP or accelerated mobile pages? Then in this article, we are going to discuss the benefits of using accelerated mobile pages. We will make it really simple for you to understand so that you do not hesitate and make a better position. Let us get through this article and explore the possibilities of accelerated mobile pages. Let us begin.

However, before we begin latest simply explain what AMP stands for? It is simply a free and open source Framework that allows you to create mobile pages that are able to deliver contents easily and quickly. It contains the HTML, JavaScript, and the cache libraries which help to promote the speed of mobile pages. This is really helpful if your content is embedded in form of infographics, audio files, PDF and even video files.

So do you really need AMP?

The short answer for this would be that it depends on. However, no matter what business you are in if you are online then this new technology has the capability to turn around your business on its heads.

Speeding website loading

This is one of the most obvious reasons as to why you would be using AMP. This particular open source technology will help to eliminate useless elements that slow down your page load. It is clean, slick and really fast. This has been proven a long time ago that higher page speeds bring in more visitors every single time.

Increase in mobile ranking

Do not mistake AMP to be a ranking factor by itself. However, it does exert a positive influence on your mobile ranking because of its faster load time. If Google decides to prioritize AMPs, then it will surely have a direct impact on your ranking on Google and other search engines as well.

Server performance enhancing

If your site is able to generate lots of traffic from mobile, AMP will reduce the load on the servers and improve their performances.

Concerns

From the above positive sides of AMP, there are some concerns regarding it. Number 1 issue is the reduction in the ad revenue. Because of the factor of mobile connectivity, the ads revenue is severely limited. It is not easy to put on lots of ads and then expect AMP run easily on the pages. Another issue with that is of analytics. Google Analytics is yet to come live on the AMP pages.  It takes a lot of time for the placement and to collect and analyze the data too.

The above-mentioned points show you the positive and negative of the AMP.  It is now up to you whether you want to implement this new open source technology on your online efforts. The future of this technology is bright with some niggles. The issues will go away soon and it will be implemented on the largest scale. Therefore, to be on a safer side it is recommended to implement it as soon as possible.

5 Mobile Commerce Mistakes You Should Avoid

Business Advice, Mobile No Comment

5-mobile-commerce-mistakes-you-should-avoid

Mobile phone sales have been one of the reasons for increased eCommerce sales in recent years and it becomes clearly essential for the eCommerce websites to provide excellent experience for the users – be it the interface or the quality, it is vital that customer experience is valued. Since there is no instruction manual for a perfect mobile website, it will turn out to be hard to figure out what could be done and what not.

However, there are certain things which you must absolutely not do.  Below is a list of the 5 Mobile Commerce Mistakes You Should Avoid.

1) Having a complicated webpage

Never use sliders or image carousels for any of the pages of your site, be it mobile or desktop. To begin with, no one actually spends time to go further than the initial image anyway. Besides, it will only make it difficult for your page to load quickly. Though the bandwidths of mobile are pacing up, they still haven’t met par with those on the desktops. This will put the users off, affecting your sales. You could rather use a single picture of call to action.

2) Not possessing an Email Newsletter

Though this is the age of consistently flourishing new apps, Email still has the potential to give you better returns on investment than any marketing forms. Stop and think of the cost that would go into just writing an Email newsletter and sending it. Also think of the number of subscribers you possess. Easy, isn’t it?

3) Making use of QR Codes

Let’s agree to this. QR Codes are no longer cool, new or useful in anyway. Besides, they include a lot of complex steps while having to use them online. Better to strike off the QR code from your site altogether.

4) Unnecessary expenditure on an app for smartphone

Having an app for your site wouldn’t really be a bad thing. However, it isn’t vouched as a good thing to do either. If you plan to have an app for your site, ensure it has got the need which your customer would have. Make researches to ensure it will be catering to the need. Or else, you have simply spent your money in vain!

5) Using Flash

This one is quite obvious as the iPhones don’t support it. Nonetheless, mobile websites are still making use of it. It is better not to use the flash on your website at all.

6) Having same designs for Tablets as well as smartphones

Since smartphones are extensively used, your customers don’t really use them to watch videos. Besides, video requires large bandwidth which will take away a lot of data from your customers if they don’t possess a proper data plan. Tablets, however, are appropriate to watch videos, and users generally use them in homes, connected to their Wi-Fi. If you really have to make use of videos, you could make separate designs for tablet users.

How Can Responsive Web Design Help You Gain More Visitors?

Mobile No Comment

In case your website’s design is not responsive, there are high chances that you are missing out on a lot of traffic, visitors and potential customers. Here are the main reasons why responsive web design can get you more visitors and why failing to implement it can harm your business.

Catering to mobile platforms better

Most probably, many of your visitors, both current and potential ones, are using a mobile device of some type to access your website. A responsive design will adjust your site automatically to the type of device and screen size of the particular user. But if your site doesn’t have that type of design, then most probably its text will be displayed in a very tiny format, making it extremely uncomfortable to read, or it may not fit in the screen size entirely. This will prevent your site from capturing the attention of potential visitors using mobile platforms as it will be bothersome for them to view it.

Enhanced user experience

With responsive web design, there is no redirection, no awkward page or site renditions which appear different on the different platforms or may not load properly in many cases, and no duplicate content either. With responsive design, you have a website with a consistent appearance which works equally well on all types of devices. Thus, the visitor experience is significantly improved, and this will lead to more visitors coming to your site and even increased conversion rates.

Search engine visibility is improved as well

Google and the other search engines show preferences for responsive websites and these rank more successfully in the search engine result pages both in international and local searches. This in turn means not only better overall visibility, but also improved exposure of your site to local audiences. This will increase the number of both your national and global visitors.

Optimized marketing strategies

The goal of every business is reaching as many customers in the target market as possible. Responsive web design facilitates the seamless integration of marketing campaigns throughout all media and device types – desktops, tablets, cell phones, etc. Thus, your message will reach a larger number of visitors and attract more potential customers.

You remain relevant

Last but not least, if you refuse to update your website’s design to the latest responsive trends, you will not only lose a portion of your visitors, but will also miss out on the chance to get new ones from different platforms. If you employ the latest technology for designing your site, you will improve the user experience and your website will look great when displayed across all platforms. This will improve your traffic and lower your bounce rates as well.

Today, the design of your website has to be much more than a fancy visual representation method for displaying your brand and business. It has to have the capability to adapt to the medium your visitors will be viewing it from, be it a desktop, a laptop, a cell phone, a tablet or any other type of device. If you haven’t yet taken the step towards responsive web design, it is high time you did that. This will definitely gain you more visitors and bring your business to the next level.

They are now part of the Diastasis Rehab business team after working with them almost a year now. I cannot even imagine having another company managing my Presta shopping cart. After a bad experience with a programmer, I needed a new programmer (one that knew prestashop shopping cart) and most important one that I could trust. Finding all three was a difficult process! Lucky for me I found them. I cannot say enough about the diversity of services that this company provides. Every step of the way they make amazing suggestions to increase my sales and they get back to be right away either by email or phone. They have even created a simple and easy check out program for Presta Shop. They are actually a one stop shop! They updated my SSL, are setting up and changing my server to a dedicated one, setting up streaming of my DVD, website design, creating a specific program for address verification on Presta cart and handled the integration of Presta cart with my fulfillment house. I am now working on developing an APP with them

Simplio really helped me out of a jam.
