Following the recent launch of The Equity’s mobile application, we have received inquiries from various partners interested in how they might take a similar step forward. We are pleased to announce that Calumet Media is now offering Web-to-App development services for businesses, municipalities, and organizations.
We understand that for many local entities, the digital landscape can feel complex. Our goal is to simplify that process, leveraging the experience we gained during our own digital transformation to help you connect better with your audience.
Why Your Organization Might Need an App
In a mobile-first environment, having a website is essential, but having a dedicated spot on your customer’s home screen offers distinct advantages. Whether you are a municipality looking to keep residents informed, a retail business building customer loyalty, or a non-profit organizing volunteers, an app provides:
- Visibility: Your logo is always visible on the user’s phone, keeping your brand top-of-mind.
- Accessibility: An app provides a distraction-free environment for your users to interact with your services or content.
- Direct Connection: It creates a direct line to your community without relying on social media algorithms to deliver your message.
Efficiency Through “Web-to-App” Technology
We know that small business owners and municipal clerks are busy. You likely do not have the time to manage a website and a separate mobile app.
Our solution utilizes “Web-to-App” technology. Essentially, we create a sophisticated mobile wrapper for your existing responsive website. This means you do not need to learn a new system or enter content twice. When you update your website, your app updates automatically. It is a seamless way to maintain a modern mobile presence with zero additional administrative effort.
A New Way to Pay: Monthly Amortization
We recognize that capital expenditures can be a hurdle for small businesses and local organizations. To make this technology accessible, we are introducing a flexible payment model.
Clients now have two options to get started:
- Upfront Payment: A one-time fee of $6,500. This covers the full development of the app, submission and setup fees for both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store, and includes a lifetime license for the software.
- Monthly Amortization: To help manage cash flow, we are offering a 36-month contract at $250 per month. This includes all development and store submission costs spread over a three-year period.
We believe this approach balances the need for modern technology with the financial realities of running a business or organization today.
