Fine-tuned solutions to put you on the mobile web
Online mobile use is predicted to overcome desktop by as early as 2015. Proper mobile website design allows you to take advantage of unclaimed market territory or connecting with clients, personnel and consumers in a way that is convenient and personal.

We are able to develop mobile websites with high quality, better device coverage, and far less time and cost than it takes convention IT departments, marketing agencies, and traditional web development firms.

We take mobile design seriously. Your mobile website is an extension of your company, and it should reflect the same branding and consideration that goes into your existing desktop site. Mobile visitors are potentially your most important users, and they are evaluating you. We make sure to incorporate logos, typefaces, content, and branding guidelines, and each mobile site is given a custom design. We provide designs that run on and make the best use of all mobile devices, from iPhones, BlackBerries, Palms, and Androids, to older text-only devices.
We also make sure your site is usable and effective. Mobile visitors are different than desktop users – they have different needs, different goals, slower connections, and less time to spend surfing the web. We partner with you to confirm that your mobile website provides the information, functionality, and experience that your mobile users need and expect. Mobile design is not just “shrinking the desktop” – it is a potential reevaluation of your users' goals and how best to meet them, and we bring our years of experience to bear in ensuring that your project is done the right way.
Mobile design is as unique as your brand — the same focus put into your desktop site belongs in your mobile website

Below are some screenshots and overviews of recent mobile projects that we have worked on.
Manheim, the premier auto-auction company in America, came to us for a mobile website that their clients could use to access real time information during car auctions. We knew that in order to make vehicle information easily accessible and keep the data accurate up-to-the-minute, the project demanded a commitment to these details. We delivered a product with all of the vital features of the desktop site, but kept the information relevant to mobile users and enabled access from a wide swath of target devices.
John Manlove Marketing hired us to mobilize one of their real estate clients looking to new ways to engage homebuyers. With The Woodlands, we created the perfect mobile site for users looking to purchase a new home. Using the New Home Search function, it's easy to browse listed homes based on location, price and size, and the site is accessible from a wide variety of mobile devices.
When Proverb, an interactive agency in Boston, came to us for a basic mobile website that would show off their core competencies, we knew they would need a striking solution.
We created a mobile site that was easy-to-use and showcased their creativity with a rich layout, vibrant colors, bold photography and robust styling.
DejaOffice is a mobile contact and calendar manager for iPhones and Androids, provided by the folks at CompanionLink. We built a number of iPhone and Android apps for CompanionLink as part of their research and development efforts, and mobilized dejaoffice.com to provide a compelling and attractive mobile site for users visiting the site on smartphones and other devices. Performance and brand consistency was important in the DejaOffice mobile project, to ensure that clients and customers could access the same information, opportunities, and design experience on any handheld device.
The culture of retail hype and frantic holiday shopping can be fun and exciting, but when you're already at the stores, how can you avoid lines or out-of-stock items?
We built Dealdar for a local web startup to provide a mobile-optimized site that lets you search, list, suggest and vote up the best sales in town. You can even automatically find hot items nearby in real time, and spread the word on Twitter with one click. The entire project took 2 weeks and launches to welcome publicity, including a write-up in USA Today.
