What Makes PhoneGap a Preferred Tool for Business Owners?

Whether you are a small business owner or have a large enterprise, your prime concern is to increase your customer base and target various smart devices that people use to find services and products. With the increased use of mobile devices, people are looking for service providers who are easily accessible from their smart phones and can allow them to check the site while on the go.  Android, iOS and Windows are the most popular platforms in the mobile world and developers are also taking great interest to target the audience using these platforms. Creating separate application for each device becomes very costly and it is also difficult to maintain various applications. PhoneGap is a platform that allows you to target all the OS with a single application for your business.

In this blog let’s take a look at why PhoneGap is the preferred choice of most business people:

Target multiple OS with single application: The greatest benefit of choosing PhoneGap application development over other native applications is its ability to create a single solution that works seamlessly on all the mobile platforms. It is a huge gain for both the developers and the business owners as it takes less development time and also means low development cost. So, with less effort and money, a wider audience base can easily be targeted.

JavaScript, CSS3 and HTML5: PhoneGap uses HTML 5, JavaScript and CSS3 and this makes it easy for the business firms to utilize their own resource or even easily find a PhoneGap development company to build their project. They can find skilled people who can help them with a solution that meets their specific business needs.

Uniformity across multiple platforms:  Earlier business owners often faced with the major issue regarding the look of the site. An application developed for the iOS platform often looked different when it was run on the Android platform. But with PhoneGap application development, this problem has been solved as it offers a uniform look and feel for all the devices running on different OS.

User interface: The user interface of any PhoneGap app offers a web browser view that takes up 100% of the devices height. This feature allows the application to take advantage of using the space and PhoneGap developers can also build interactive, navigational content element into HTML and CSS based user interface.

Open source: PhoneGap is free software under the open source license and this means the community constantly updates and compiles new modules and codes that can be easily used without having to pay any charges thereby reducing the cost of development.
