  • Politics Is Like Hiring A Hitman
    by Scott Woods inPolitical on2020-08-13

    For me, politics is like hiring a hitman. I have values and things I care about. I care enough about them to at least bother voting for 5 minutes every year for one issue or another. And because I care at least that much, I vote for people who align with the ability to realize the things I care about.

  • Punching Above Our Weight
    by Roger Madison Jr. inPolitical on2020-07-24

    I believe our vote is the punctuation of our voice. Without that resounding exclamation mark, I believe our voices are just incoherent noise.

  • Living in a Black No-Man's Land
    by Roger Madison Jr. inOur Community on2019-10-28

    There are many narratives that define the Black experience in America in this 2nd decade of the 21st century. Our striving over the centuries of our sojourn in this nation is a tapestry of every human experience -- oppression, enslavement, forced assimilation, dehumanization, exclusion, segregation, isolation, struggle, perseverance, achievement, excellence, celebration, mourning, despair, progress, setbacks, lynching, assassination, genocide, terror, self-hatred, low esteem, pride,...

  • Fighting Racism
    by Scott Woods inOur Community on2018-10-25

    I had a boss who was racist. Not an outright bigot, of course; her toolbox was more subtle than most. We bumped heads a lot over inconsequential things. She frequently couldn’t keep my name out her mouth. Lot of gaslighting. You know…2018 style. I tried a lot of ways to combat or navigate her issues. None of them worked, and that’s saying a lot because I’m really good at fighting racism. But at the end of the day – every day – she was my boss, I had to deal with her, and that was that. Finally I...

Mobile Application or Mobile Website?

 

Should your mobile presence be established by a mobile web site or mobile applications? 


The answer to this is simple.  If you have a website you NEED a mobile version of it as the desktop version of your website does not translate well to the small screen of mobile devices. Think about it, your website is built to be navigated with a mouse and cursor, not fingers. The good news is that it is not usually hard or expensive to establish a mobile website, in fact, many  themes on popular site builders and content management systems such as Wordpress, Drupal and Weebly have mobile optimized versions included. If your system is built without an easily configurable mobile option or if you just want more personalization, AwSnapp! has great mobile website designers on hand that would love to help get your site optimized for mobile devices

A mobile application on the other hand is more optional but has the ability to do things just not possible with a mobile website thus opening up a whole new world of possibilities of connecting with your customer. Furthermore, your application is installed on the phone so does not need to always be connected to a data service to be of use. While most people will find your mobile website through searching on their phone, your app will primarily be downloaded by people that want you to connect with them thus allowing you to engage better and more often with loyal customers.

Every business should have a mobile website and those that want to take their mobile strategy to the next level should definitely consider a mobile application.
