Here at Make IT Simple, we use Javascript - it's top-notch, and we're really good at it!

While an "if it's not broke, don't fix it" mentality might seem out of date, there's a lot of truth behind it. It's easy to get confused nowadays using technology that isn't up to par, just because it's "new" and shiny.

We believe in using proven technologies that deliver results. Our desktop applications are built using modern frameworks like Electron, which allows us to leverage our web development expertise while creating powerful desktop experiences.

Why Choose Desktop Applications?

Desktop applications offer unique advantages that web and mobile apps sometimes can't match. They provide better performance for resource-intensive tasks, work offline, and can integrate deeply with the operating system.

Superior Performance

Desktop apps can utilize full system resources for complex computations and data processing.

🔌

Offline Functionality

Work without internet connectivity and sync when connection is restored.

🔗

System Integration

Deep integration with operating system features, file systems, and hardware.

🛡️

Enhanced Security

Better control over data storage and security protocols.

How do we make your desktop apps look so ace?

We use Electron. If you’ve never heard of it before, chances are you’ve heard of things like WhatsApp or Twitch - both of which were created using Electron.

As outlined on the Electron website: "Electron is a framework for creating native applications with web technologies like JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. It takes care of the hard parts so you can focus on the core of your application."

Again, this is something that we're really good at, so building you an excellent desktop app is also something we'll enjoy every second of doing - and we're positive that you'll enjoy the process as much as we do!

Building rich desktop apps

Using Electron allows us to create rich desktop and web application development solutions with the same rapid stack we build everything in. The apps we create are all cross-platform. So, they will look great on Linux, Windows, or Mac.

What can you expect from your Make IT Simple desktop app?

Everything from automatic updates to crash reporting, debugging, and profiling. Simply put, it'll look great and run smoothly all the time. You don't have to be a programming tech whizz in order to make sure your desktop app is the best - that's our job.

The beauty of desktop apps is that they can be customised to fit your needs. Since they aren't web-based, it's all about what works for you, your business, and your brand.
