For many, a smartphone, is a big step into the unknown, and whilst
the communication experience it offers is eagerly anticipated, we maintain that it will only take a bit of confusion, or a complex interface to put the user right off.

Easily becoming confused using image-rich apps or apps with strongly patterned or image based screen backgrounds, we design apps with older people and people with a visual impairment in mind. We use icons that would enable the user with limited reading ability to see what the page is about.


Our app development service keeps that in mind and we produce apps with plain screens and various coloured background/text combinations as needed. White background with black or dark blue text offers the most 'comforting' experience for the greatest number of users in this target group.

We keep text to a minimum and rely upon audio and video feeds with
a soundtrack to provide the information users may not be able to see clearly.

If you don't have the information you wish to convey in an
audio format, we can easily, quickly and economically record
it in our studio and upload it to our podcast server for the
app to then download and play. The quantity and duration
of the audio or video uploads won't affect the app as
the files will be streamed direct, rather than
downloaded.

If you take advantage of our Click & Listen or
Click or Scan services, we'll include the audio
on the app without additional cost.
                                                                                                                                       
Our management service means                                                                     updates can easily and quickly be
incorporated and any images you already
have that pertain to the story can be 
cropped and re-formatted for use in the app.

The management service includes weekly,
fortnightly or monthly updates and up to
2 pushes per week to advise people who
have the app that there is news or
upcoming changes or amendments to
the app. We will take care of that on                                                                    your instruction as part of the service.

 

People who have difficulty reading can listen to our apps.
