Mobile Solutions
An engaging Internet experience is no longer confined to the personal computer, with soaring smart phone and tablet adoption rates where, why and how a user interacts with online content is changing.
According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics at the end of last year 11 million Australians were mobile handset subscribers with at least 20% of these having dedicated data subscriptions. These numbers indicate an increase of 13.6% in a 6 month period, with data downloaded via these devices increasing 35.3% in a three month period alone. These figures are only set to rise in the future as globally smart phones are outselling PCs with market research firm IDC projecting a 163% increase in mobile users from 2010 to 2014.
With this huge uptake in the technology traditional websites may no longer be enough. Businesses have the opportunity to not only provide optimised versions of existing sites but also purpose build sites for devices, or risk the potential loss of customers.
At Cerebrum, we understand this trend and have the proven expertise to combine state-of-the-art web experience with modern mobile technologies in order to deliver the right solution for you.
Responsive Design
Responsive web design is currently a popular approach providing the ability to alter a layout dependent upon the device and is not dependent on any server side processes, however it doesn't provide any real optimisation of the content being served.
Mobile-Optimised Web Site
Optimising for mobile devices is another option. By using a specific site structure, mobile-optimised sites feature improved performance and allow you to serve different experiences and features dependant upon device.

With Cordova we develop native apps for smartphones and tables by using modern web technologies plus native features of the devices such as the camera, address book, accelerometer and so on.
Native Apps
