SDI: For All Your IPhone App Needs

With app development fascination on the rise, Software Developers India (SDI) has been climbing to the top to deliver the best app solutions for your every need. Once you have finalized upon what kind of an application you want to develop and the level of complexity you can manage (remember that the cost of it increases with the level of complexity) you can choose your developer according to the service you need. We, SDI, are an award-winning Silicon Valley company based out of California. And we wish to provide you the best app solutions.

Don’t just jump on a quick decision when it comes to choosing your developers. The rapid rate at which iPhone app development companies are coming will obviously provide you with a large number of options. But there is always a chance of falling for the wrong one. You must have your own set of criteria for choosing companies, based on your requirements, budget, etc. Remember, that your requirements are yours alone. And you have to be very specific about extracting those unique requirements from the developers.

The ones you hire should understand your needs specifically and then provide you with the right kind of business solutions. So in a way, the organization you choose is basically your business client who applies the right kind of strategies needed for the functioning. Competitive analysis, social media strategies and user testing are some of the most important strategies that they usually focus on.

Now comes the design. Of course, there is no denying in the fact that you want your app to be the most attractive thing ever. This is where your company’s creativity cap is put on a test. Apart from the design being attractive in general, there are a couple things that have to be kept in mind. For example, visual palatability, interactive style guides and overall information architecture are some very important issues. These are some of the issues that they usually take care of.

Have you been through that reluctant phase where you didn’t know if your idea is at all presentable to the developers? You need not go through that unnecessary experience, as most of these companies offer a huge range of apps. Starting from business, education, social networking, entertainment, to travel, books, navigation, news, health and lifestyle. You just name it.

Your developers should also be efficient at project management. They would usually keep track of every minute progress of the project. They are also usually very careful about the deployment process. One small error in deployment can make the entire process go haywire.

Regular performance checks are quite mandatory to ensure best results post deployment. Carrying out is also an essential job of the company. As far as the time is concerned, developing an app is only a matter of a few hours. However, it also depends on the nature of the product you want.

We at SDI, are particular about the details of the development process. We have the best developers working for the benefits of each of our customers.

How To Make Fast Loading Smartphones Website ?

This is a Guest Post By Adeel Zia. Smartphones have brought great change in all fields of life especially the way we use internet. Their excellent features made them the best options to access internet for different purposes. However, the issue is that web pages take more time to get loaded when accessed via smartphones. This delay reduces the users’ interest and affects the traffic on web pages. Research has revealed that to maintain users’ flow, the web page should be loaded within less than one second. Different techniques are used to improve the loading of pages. Some of them are as follows:

Selection of language

While making website for mobile devices, first step is to choose a suitable language. WML, cHTML, and XHTML are most suitable options available for this purpose. XHTML is the latest version so it can be considered the best for the latest devices and is better than its primary version, which is HTML.

Use of emulator

Use smartphone emulator to learn about the smartphone users experience on your website. It is better as it provides a broader view about a range of mobile devices accessing your site by replicating the scenario. This will help you to manage the amount of data on your website along with improving loading speed of your site.

Web site layout

As mobile devices have less physical space for displaying contents so you should select a suitable layout of your site for its display on smartphone. Try to display only most useful information to your target user rather making your site a second copy of your full website. It will affect the loading time and obviously the users’ experience for sure. 

Code optimization

Use of complex and inefficient JavaScript codes for web pages takes more time to execute and as a result increases the loading time of the page. It the best option to use efficient JS coding as ATF essence of the web page. It will improve the loading speed of the web pages for smartphones.

Efficient use of JS and CSS

Use of JS and CSS in web page development involves the need of downloading an external resource that includes downloading time and also increases the round trips to the server. All this slows down the loading of website. This can be handled by using JS and CSS coding efficiently in the content of web pages. The best way to manage is using JavaScript and CSS inline coding for ATF contents and external blocking in the rest of web contents.

Above the fold content

In this technique, some top contents load within less than one second to engage the users and rest of the page continues to load in background. You may maintain this feature by using HTML, CSS, and JS in your web pages. This approach is also known as critical rendering path.

Quick server Response

To load the website promptly on smartphones, one useful method is make server response faster. Reduction in server response time less than 200 milliseconds will improve the website loading time. Thus, you can say that the use of faster web server for mobile websites will enhance the loading speed for mobiles.

Less HTTP redirects

Avoiding HTTP redirects will increase the loading speed for web pages on smartphones, as each redirect enjoys a new trip to the server for respond and increases the loading time more than 1 second. Securing this waste of time will improve the performance.

Small ATF data

Mostly used protocol for internet is TCP, which takes a slow start for data transmission when receives a request. It initially sends maximum 10 packets in its latest versions and after getting acknowledgement from users, utilizes the full available bandwidth for data transmission. Below 14K ATF data increases the site loading speed as above the content data is sent in early packets under TCP protocol and engages the user.
