Matter of Software - Bespoke Software Development

  Defining cost and process for building mobile apps When you’re generating ideas about building a mobile app it is important to take steps before you even release it to the public. Competitive market research helps to find out if your app idea is viable but also finding out what mistakes your competitors are making and if people are looking for an app like yours, is really helpful. By multiple mock-ups of your apps, the design and the beginnings of your marketing will then fall into place allowing you to make an app marketing plan. There is no fixed price when it comes to developing an app, as it depends on the quality but also on what you intend to achieve. What budget you choose to build an app determines the standard itself, you get what you pay for. You also have to keep who you choose to build your app, how your app gets built, and what you need your app to do into consideration. In short, as the complexity of the app being build increases, so does the cost. The expense of th...

  Native VS Hybrid App Development What Is A Native App? A native app will make full use of the latest technology and has access to certain hardware, such as GPS, camera, and contact list. They don’t necessarily need an internet connection as the app itself is installed directly onto the smartphone acquired through App Store or Google Play, meaning they are built specifically for either mobile operating systems; Apple iOS, or Android OS. The app is written in the code specifically for the device and its OS and has separate app versions for each device, or brand, in order for it to work at its best. The native app is built for a particular platform with SDK, tools, and languages which are typically provided by the platform vendor e.g. XCode/Objective-C for iOS or Eclipse/Java for Android. What Is A Hybrid App? Hybrid apps are much less expensive and can be installed on a device like any other app launching onto both apple and android simultaneously. They have a quick development tim...

On 23 June 2016 the UK voted in the EU Referendum to leave the European Union (EU). A majority of the population voted to Leave, rather than Remain, triggering the start of preparations for the UK withdrawing from the bloc. The Prime Minister used the 2016 Queen’s Speech to reiterate the government’s commitment towards protecting and enhancing worker rights following Brexit. Although it is not clear what amendments may be made to employment law, or when any changes will take effect, it is possible to predict that some changes will take place. However, one area that will see change is the rights of EU nationals to work in the UK. Right to work in the UK – Brexit implications Right To Works UK

This guide applies to a right to work checks conducted on or after 28 January 2019. Under United Kingdom immigration rules, it is a criminal offense to employ a person who is subject to immigration control and who has not been granted leave to enter or remain in the UK or does not have permission to remain in the UK. The Company has a legal obligation to carry out document checks to make it harder for people with no right to work in the UK to unlawfully obtain or stay in employment. It is also a requirement that the Company retains copies of the relevant documents. You should not discriminate when conducting the right to work checks. You should conduct the right to work checks on all potential employees.  Do not simply check the status of those who you feel appear to be migrants, otherwise, you could be breaking the law. A Guide to Employing Foreign Nationals Right To Works UK

Do you understand the basics around work eligibility and know how to check whether prospective employees are eligible to work in the UK? There are a few checks which are vital, including ensuring that potential or existing employees have the right to work in the UK, and as an employer, the obligation is on you to carry out the checks.  Understanding eligibility There are three scenarios that allow someone to work in the UK without a work permit. These are: if you’re a British citizen, you live in the European Economic Area or you’re a Swiss national. Anyone who doesn’t fall into one of these categories will have to apply for a visa and/or a work permit. A word of caution – a visa will give an individual the right to be in the UK but not always the right to work. If someone applies for a job without having the right to work, it’s up to their employer to apply for the work permit if they wish to make an offer of employment. An individual cannot apply for a work permit, and there ...

Historically PO Boxes were physically housed in post offices up and down the country, soon these were offered by businesses as a way of competing with the post office. A PO Box would allow the user to utilize a specific address (including the words PO Box) to an address controlled by the post office — the post office would then hold onto the mail for collection. Over time the PO Box has evolved with additional options such as forwarding to a different address along with the usual collection — this enabled a business to have a PO Box in one city but be based in another. This worked well for a lot of mail order businesses who often couldn’t manage or handle the possible volume of inbound mail and who perhaps didn’t have an address they wanted to advertise (it’s a fact that potential customers reviewing a company will look at the location prior to making certain purchases — this isn’t always the case but consider the public perception of your company ...

Infographics  have soared in popularity as of late. They provide a great way of presenting visually attractive data as part of your  bespoke web design . They can make elaborate or complicated information quick to attain and easy to understand. But, what is the difference between a good and a bad infographic? 1. Make it visually obvious Your reader has no clue regarding what information you are going to be presenting. This should be made immediately obvious, and it needs to be easy to digest. But remember; show it, don’t tell it e.g., put it in a graph, rather than writing it in a sentence. 2. Don’t lose focus You can easily get caught up in making your graphic visually attractive – using different colours and effects. This is, of course, important, but you need to make sure your main attention is focused on directing your viewer to the key area of visualisation. What is the point you are trying to get across with this data? Infographics are about relaying informat...
