In Newcastle
A shorter road to the app stores
Many Newcastle organisations already run a web portal for staff, members or customers and want it on phones without a long build. Hybrid app development in Newcastle fits that case well, though we say plainly when a feature needs native code for performance.
From our Perth base we support Newcastle clients through video, messages and shared files. The time difference is small, so most questions get an answer the same day, and meeting in person is always an option.
- Offline sync built in
- Camera and scanning supported
- Apple guidelines met
Common situations
What Newcastle clients usually ask us to solve
Customer and member portals
Customer and member portals become more useful as installed apps with notifications and quick access. A hybrid wrapper provides that without a full rebuild.
Inspection and field tools
Inspection and field tools gain from camera, location and offline access. We add those features to your web tool.
Event apps
Event apps can be launched quickly from an existing site, with the content updated through the web.

Each device feature relies on a maintained plugin, so we choose carefully and keep them updated.
Animation, long lists and large images need attention to avoid a sluggish feel.
Stores expect an app to offer more than a plain website sitting in a frame.
Plugins and the native shell need periodic upgrades to stay compatible with new phone software.
