Mobile apps

Cross-platform, rapid-build mobile engagement

Whilst we mostly do Drupal, we do confidently stretch sideways when needed - and the ability to produce mobile apps rapidly has helped us to fulfil important project needs at impressive speed.

Where an app talks to a companion Drupal site, we have the experience necessary to make sure everything remains both performant and securely locked down.

Excellence, at pace, with Expo

Most of our app projects have been built with Expo, using the React Native framework.

Expo gives us all the goodness we would expect if we were developing directly in XCode or Android Studio, such as accessing device sensors and push notifications, while still allowing us to write code much more familiar to us as web developers.

Another advantage of using Expo is that we can make use of over-the-air (OTA) updates to deploy updates to the apps without needing to submit a new binary to the respective app stores for approval and review. This massively speeds up the process of deploying updates to our codebase.
