Mobile apps are becoming more popular with the increased use of smart phones. A mobile app provides an easy method for user to access your website or specific portions of your website. Some companies have the need to provide secure access to their employees or salespeople through a web portal. Once logged into the web portal, employees or sub-contractors can access company documents, place work orders, get updates from the main office, upload files or communicate discreetly with other company employees or management. A mobile app can be developed in a way that would provide an icon on a users smart phone that when clicked takes the user directly to their secure login area. The mobile app makes it easier for the user to access the secure web portal with a click of the icon During the website development process, custom programming can be performed to develop the web portal with the ability to connect to a mobile app. The mobile apps can also be setup for download from the Droid marketplace or through Itunes for Iphones. Normally these type of apps would either be a paid app or connect to an e-commerce portion of a retail or wholesale website.
