Weird Coupons: Web Development, Mobile Apps, & SEO

How much more communal and Austin-loving can a company get when its name celebrates Austin’s most recognized maxim: Keep Austin Weird. And that is exactly what Weird Coupons is about, serving only Austin-born businesses to preserve the culture that makes this city so special. Weird Coupons grants these local businesses an affordable way to attract customers through deals, discounts, and coupons.

Web Design and Web Development

Gennovacap Technology Services recently had the pleasure of helping Weird Coupons build their business by utilizing our in house development team to construct the mobile-optimized website and mobile applications. We added new designs, the ability to “Pay With A Tweet,” a sign-up form for prospective users to receive local deals directly via e-mail and the PayPal function for online purchasing through the website, as well as optimized the website for mobile devices and outfitted it for SEO. 

The Mobile Apps
Through the use of modern web and mobile frameworks, including jQuery Mobile, PhoneGap, and Less Framework 4, Gennovacap shaped the mobile channel through which Weird Coupons actually conducts their business. Through the use of the PhoneGap framework, the mobile applications were developed to have native functionality while cutting development time in half.  

SEO
In addition to web and mobile app development, Gennovacap outfitted the website with search engine optimization through hardcoding content, keywords, and meta data into the website itself. We were able to optimize Weird Coupons' website for search engines due to our professional experiences in organic SEO, content writing, and keyword research.

Results

Our success is driven by our clients’ successes, and what Gennovacap did here was not only deliver for Weird Coupons, but we also saved them money. We accomplished that by employing an easily scalable technology to rapidly develop the mobile apps. In a nutshell, we saved Weird Coupons both time and money while providing the best possible web and mobile services.

Filemaker Database: Oil Field Services

Six months ago, Gennovacap Technology built a Filemaker Database for an oilfield service client.  The client had been running a MS Access database when the motherboard on their PC burned out.  We retrieved the lost information from their hard drive and set the clients up with new Apple computers.  We built a new database from scratch with Filemaker and manually entered the old data into the new system.  After we had the database set up, our client could access all of their client's data directly from their iPhones via a remote server hosting their new Filemaker database.

The database solution included simple addition of new customers without creating irrelevant information for existing customers. For example: Entering "Billy's BBQ" and then adding "Billy's"  to the customer list would create a repetition for clients.  We implemented a fail safe process which eliminated problems like this with other types of databases.  We also integrated Google Maps into the database so that the firm could keep track of job logistics when sending their field technicians out to service equipment.  The database also included inventory tracking to keep up with all items currently in use as well as the technician responsible for the equipment. 

In addition to building the database solution, we worked closely with external Filemaker Consultants to integrate the database into Quickbooks using a specialized protocol.  This additional consulting created a solution which eliminated double entry of data from the database to Quickbooks.  With one touch publishing implemented, the business only had to review the information before it was published into their accounting software and invoices were billed out to clients.

The new system we built for our clients made managing their business easier.  The Filemaker solution enabled our clients to easily track employees, account for equipment, handle logistics, and eliminated the need for double entry for the accounts receivable portion for their business.  Now with our solution, our client can do all of this from their iPhones.
