Our Philosophy
At Guidebook, we don’t think it should be expensive or difficult for organizations to connect with their audiences on their mobile devices. Guidebook makes it simple and inexpensive to go mobile, while providing a beautiful and engaging user experience.
Why Mobile?
Smartphones have only been a widely used consumer product for less than 10 years. In that short time, their usage has grown exponentially. They account for more than one-quarter of the U.S. mobile phone market. In certain populations, like trade show and conference attendees, they are much more widely used.
Platforms
Guidebook is user-friendly on iPhones, Android phones, Blackberries, and any other devices that your audience might use. We offer native apps for iPhone and Android and a mobile web app all for one low price.
