“Before you build the app, you build the promise”
– Shawn Collins, EXTEND GROUP Founder and CEO
This is startling insight from the guy who helped create the very first native mobile app in the state of Indiana. But that’s how Shawn Collins and the entire EXTEND GROUP team approach every project: We’re not just building a mobile app or website, we’re installing the brand. So, before we jump into creating the mobile app, we dive into tightly identifying the user and defining the functions and features they value most. It’s determining what the user experience needs to be that they’ll associate most favorably with your brand—and deliver your brand’s promise.

Native vs. Web-based: What works best for your brand
- Web-based apps are stored on a server—which means design or content updates can be made instantly on your mobile website
- A native app is an executable program with its code written in the machine language of the hardware platform it runs in—like a smartphone
- Because a native app is written for a specific platform, it runs faster than a web app—there’s no translation process slowing it down
- Being platform-specific enables a native app to take advantage of other technology available on the same platform—so, if it’s a mobile app, it can interact with the GPS on the mobile device, for example
There’s more to discuss. Including: will your mobile presence be driven by marketing, or interactive engagement? Why not marketing that’s interactive? Yes, we can do that.
