Modern mobile browsing habits mean that your app has only seconds, possibly even less, to hook potential users. And the only way that your mobile app can capture and sustain attention in such a short space of time is through outstanding design and through providing real usability value.
Our team of app designers have the skills and experience to know how and why some apps work in this respect, and why some don’t.
It starts with knowing how to work within the constraints of technology. We know that a one-size-fits-all is never going to be the ideal approach. Our team has a broad and diverse understanding of design and UX. Having identified your target audience, we will put ourselves in the shoes of the user to design an app experience that responds to their needs, their wants, and their triggers. To be successful, apps must be designed strategically and from the user’s perspective.
And this is what we offer: superior app design that targets your preferred user base, captures their attention and keeps it. We are committed to the success of your app and we will make full use of our experience and expertise to develop first-class, innovative mobile products. Our commitment to your success applies to all development stages from strategy, through design and to coding.
Our team includes strategists, UX designers, coders and product managers. We bring diverse experience from many years of building, launching and growing mobile apps. We focus on real data and base all of our decisions on these, rather than relying on guesswork.
We take full responsibility for the following aspects of mobile app development:
Our goal is to design products that respond to users’ specific needs. The initial steps are to find out what these needs are and then to understand what will users will consider an adequate response. Our UX & UI designers will work closely with your team, guiding them through every step of the process. From understanding the experiences that need to be created to building the wireframes, from prototyping to finalizing a remarkable user interface, we will be there with you.
We are experienced and fully competent in the following aspects of mobile app development:
To build native involves making use of all of the capabilities of the mobile device. It means not compromising in any way when developing a user experience. And eventually this will also mean a solid foundation for scaling up and turning a mobile app into the basis for a genuine business. We use Java for Android and Swift for iOS, with an uncompromising focus on clean code and optimum performance.
We offer the following services:
Anybody with any experience with software development knows that bugs are an inevitable part of coding. And of course, testing and debugging are part of the development process. All of our projects are allocated appropriate testing resources to ensure the delivered products are solid and free from bugs. From the first builds to the app launch, our testing team will make certain that any errors are spotted, all bugs are discovered and that the entire product works as intended.
Belgravia Group is a premier real estate company from Chicago, with a legacy spanning over 70 years and having developed well over 2,000 properties within that time. Belgravia consulted with CWA on creating a modern, attractive website to properly showcase the company’s culture and history. After multiple creative brainstorming sessions, CWA was able to develop the blueprint for what would become a stunning site to help represent Belgravia.
Belgravia’s prior website was stagnant and required a revamp that would give them a cutting-edge and modernized look to match their niche of real estate: high-end properties in some of the most popular neighborhoods of Chicago.
The approach applied was both minimalist and interactive: the website has a clean-cut layout with easy navigation. CWA also consulted Belgravia in creating unique, professional content to add to the site, helping to strengthen the company’s online reputation. The visual content consists of beautiful professional photography that showcases the properties Belgravia Group manages.
Marmot is a US-based apparel company focusing on outdoor jackets and related goods. Born out of adventure and a desire to share that culture with others, Marmot has been developing unique jackets, tops, and related apparel for climbing, hiking, and general outdoor activities for over 30 years.
Marmot required a world-class website that would help further distinguish their brand amongst competitors. Additionally, the design needed to be straightforward, modern, and help add depth to the brand’s voice and imagery without sacrificing ease-of-use.
Comrade’s creative team was pleased to develop a truly dynamic and pleasing website for Marmot. We took the existing company’s guidelines and materials and refined them to deliver a website that would successfully convey the Marmot brand and culture. The site’s navigation is easy to use but provides the user with a unique and compelling experience throughout every stage of the shopping process. The end result was very well received by both the company and customers alike.
Blueprint is a Chicago-based advisory firm that specializes in senior housing and healthcare real estate, offering unique exit strategies, solutions, and consulting for both investors and operators. Blueprint enlisted Comrade Web Agency to revamp their website, create a client portal for investors and operators, and to develop a mobile app for their services.
Due to the high amounts of information that is typically exchanged between BP and their clientbase, the requested portal needed to be capable of both holding said information and allowing exchange between multiple parties. Their complex business model also had to be taken into account, as there are several variables in the kinds of information exchanged and how the portal should function for each user.
We developed a brand new site for Blueprint, bringing their branding and voice up to date with user-friendly navigation and professional stylings. This included creating a design and branding library for future use.
As for the client portal, we were able to create a visible portfolio with all assets in a “data room”: a place within the portal where Blueprint can exchange files, messages, and other related content with their clients (and vice versa).
From the admin side, users are able to update and manage portfolios and related assets. Additionally, they are given a variety of dashboards for their different metrics, including finances.
The mobile app was developed for usage on both iOS and Android platforms, serving as an on-the-go version of their site.
AMP is an Illinois-based marketing agency geared towards smaller local businesses who use print and online mediums to advertise their services.
AMP is unique in that their customer base consists of small and local businesses who use print and online mediums for advertising and marketing. It was important for the new website to be structured in a way that both AMP team members and their customers could navigate and easily identify the best solution for their business. As a secondary but equally important feature, the site needed to help facilitate understanding for new employee prospects on the culture and and purpose of AMP.
The new look produced for this brand new website was coupled by a very user-intuitive design, while keeping accessibility in mind. The information architecture of the site allows users to move into a carefully laid out sales funnel for maximized conversions. The site serves as both the face of the company and as a marketing tool for their salespeople.
In the last two years, AMP has enjoyed double the organic search traffic 2.3 times new users and a nearly two fold increase in the amount of time clients spend on the website.
