Mobile Development: Welcome to the Age of Mobile Devices
You could call it the ‘small screen revolution’. For the young (and even the old), the mobile phone is quickly becoming the tool of choice to access the Web. For an increasing percentage of the population, it’s an indispensable social tool. Have you gone out without your iPhone or BlackBerry lately? Yeah, we get nightmares sometimes, too.
Mobile Websites
Consumers are going mobile, so shouldn’t your website? With the world globalizing and people constantly multitasking and on the move, a mobile-friendly version of your website makes your products or services available to your prospects and customers anytime, anywhere.
Heck, mobile Internet is growing at an unprecedented rate, and is set to overtake the PC as the main way people access the Internet—possibly within 5 years. The number of people using mobile devices daily to access news and information on the Internet more than doubled from January 2008 to January 2009, reported comscore*. Now that’s some fast growth!
Mobile Internet is just too big to ignore. But, hey, no need to stress about it. The creative clan at Thrillworks can help you achieve a finger-friendly, device-optimized mobile website, to help you gain maximum exposure with the world’s fastest growing audience.

Mobile Apps in Action: Introducing Petro-Finder
The Thrillworks team can develop handy mobile apps to drive traffic to
your business, online and offline. Take, for instance, the mobile app we developed for long-time client Petro-Canada: Petro-Finder for iPhone. It
uses GPS functionality and online connectivity to help customers find the closest Petro-Canada stations.
Petro-Finder provides directions, up-to-the-minute gas prices, and station amenities (propane tank exchange, car wash, convenience store, etc.). Did we mention it gained ‘top 20’ most popular Navigation Apps status in the iTunes store? Not that we’re bragging.
