Today’s consumers access the Internet from a variety of locations, connections, browsers and devices. To be successful on the Internet today, companies have to make sure they are catering websites to perform optimally across all of these different environments.
CustomCleaningByGaby.com, or GabyS.US, is a professional maid service for residents and businesses alike in Texas. To expand its presence and raise awareness, Gabriela Shirley, GabyS.US operator, launched a website leveraging the latest technology for an optimal user experience, including peer-to-peer content delivery network and WebRTC Media Capture.
Shirley turned to WebDesignMiamiFlorida.com (WebFL.US) to develop the website. Working with WebFL.US is beneficial for small to medium-sized businesses (SMB) because they only need to build and maintain one website across multiple platforms, such as desktops, laptops, tablets and mobile devices.
The key to this centralization is device-aware responsive design with adaptive server-side enhancements that adjusts content presentation in real-time to the requirements of the browser, such as screen size and display capabilities.
There are three main WebRTC APIs: getUserMedia for camera and microphone access, PeerConnection to send and receive media, and DataChannels to send non-media directly between browsers. The GabyS.US website uses the WebRTC data channel to accelerate image and planned video loads and the getUserMedia API to enable technology for a Web marketing app.
"Going the mobile-friendly responsive web design route with WebFL.US has saved me a lot of money," Shirley explained in a statement. "I don't have to pay for a website plus an iPhone app plus an Android app plus a Blackberry app plus a Windows phone app and so on and so on. No matter what people use to surf the Web, my marketing messages will be delivered and my eCommerce transactions will be completed."
The website was developed in PHP/MySQL and JavaScript/jQuery with a WordPress CMS and custom jQuery/AJAX English/Spanish content toggles. Each page undergoes quality assurance, including W3C HTML5 and CSS3 validation, and mobile Web development tests, such as link validation, responsive Web design and accessibility.
Bruce Arnold, Web developer at WebFL.US, said, "For most SME's, native mobile app development is yesterday. Responsive web design augmented with hybrid HTML5 app development is today. WebRTC development is tomorrow - and tomorrow will soon be here."
