Building Apps for mobile devices becomes crucial for online success as an increasing number of web users shift to mobile devices and as the usage stats of mobile users has already passed web usage by desktop and lap-top users in many countries. Learn how to Build a Mobile App for iOS, Android and Windows The Ycademy May Seminar will focus on App Building namely on: Types of Apps App Building Standards App Building Publishing Requirements App Building Workshops Two days are a short time to become familiar with programming language and developer kits. For this reason we will be using what we believe are the two most powerful App building software packs available for Windows to build and test our Apps. Participants can test also some of the apps directly on their mobile device. The seminar will take place on May 26 –27, 2012 from 1 p.m. till 9 p.m. London Time on each day. Seminar tickets are available with the usual discounts; get your discount code from bianca(at)ycademy.com. More details during our calls and mails from Bianca.

iPhone Simulator or Emulator for WordPress? Subsequent to last week’s Ycademy Seminar, I read on Bianca Gubalke’s blog a post about the difficulty to create a WordPress Mobile version without having recourse to a preview tool. As I agree with this statement, I will show you here below a simple method to preview your WordPress Mobile version for iPhone, iPod and iPad. iPhone Simulator The first question is: Do we need an iPhone Simulator at all? I have not seen a single free online iPhone Simulator which would render the mobile version of our WordPress sites. Online Simulators are therefore useless for our purpose. iPhone Emulator Free online Emulators I have come across do not generate a preview of the mobile WordPress version. There are some paid solutions which are however pretty cool and accurate, namely the MobiOne emulator included in the Studio version. There is a 14 day free trial, thereafter a $99 fee. Surprisingly the emulator included with TheAppBuilder does not render the mobile version — this would be a real plus since it’s a free tool until you want to publish your app to a store. There is a much easier to use solution out there which [...]

Mobile Developments for Small and Home Business The rapid expansion of the Mobile Web and the success of smartphones and tablets open new opportunities and imperatives for Website Developments. In as much as Semiomantics is concerned, the focus is set on two main issues: Conversion and integration of web content into an App Publishing on Multiple Platforms Optimization Conversion and integration of web content into an App Whether it is a simple blog or a shop, a photo site or a video library, a directory or any other content, your website can be converted and integrated into a mobile App. Production cost will vary in function of the complexity of the development. I mention cost at this point because for the time being, App developments are still relatively expensive, but that’s the price to pay for a seat in the front row. The mobile web and mobile devices and platforms offer today many features designed to enhance conversation, feedback and interaction which are much more dynamic, flexible and user-friendly than those offered on traditional websites. Also, an App is much easier to use on a smartphone than surfing a website. Bookmarking a website and then accessing (loading) it at a [...]

How to build a Local Website Go Local is the name of the game in 2011/12 and the success of bringing the global web developments back home is a trend of the time. First it was about tagging people, now we tag locations, be it on social networks such as Facebook or on Photo sites, such as Picasa or Flickr. Based on the fact that surfers search for and prefer local business to cross border transactions, social networks namely have built in the local tags and stimulate users to hook media and events to geographically tagged locations. How to dominate the local market? In order to dominate the local market, you need to assess the use of the internet your neighbors make; chances are that they mostly hang out on social media, search Google and use email. This is of course an extremely simplified view but it gives an indication about where we need to build high visibility. You also want to have an idea about how people access the net and websites; you will notice an increased use of mobile deices, which means that your content needs to be formatted and optimized for desktops as well as for tablets [...]

Original Article at WordPress on Facebook.WordPress for Facebook Seminar Welcome to the WordPress for Facebook Seminar! This seminar is about Social Media Marketing and Communication involving WordPress, namely the Semiomantics XO Framework and Facebook. During the next two days we will elaborate and implement strategies to automate publication and communication across platforms with a special focus on the mobile web. WordPress on Facebook Why would you want to combine WordPress with Facebook? The main reason is to remain in control of your content, its presentation and the way it streams to and from Facebook. Also, a self-hosted WordPress provides you with better content management features and automation tools than Facebook. If you are a Facebook freak, you can even spend the rest of your life within Facebook and publish at the same time through WordPress Semiomantics XO right from within Facebook. Our pre-seminar sessions demonstrated how to embed your XO on a Facebook Canvas page, from where you have complete access to your WP installation, dashboard and editing and publishing tools. If you don’t want to spend any time in Facebook, then you just need to implement Social Media Marketing and Publishing Strategies as lined out in the YORGOO Publishing Model and your Facebook antenna [...]
