Talking about our Fitness industry, technology is taking over it and it’s not stopping anytime soon. A comparison in fitness technology trend of 2016 & 2017 have revealed that 80% fitness experts has decided to jump in the technology world, which I say is the need of era.

A simple search in the app store under ‘fitness’ lead us to a huge variety of apps to help you get fit and stay motivated.But have you ever wondered what makes some apps feature at top in play/App store?

In this busy world, people have no time to go to gyms or hire fitness trainers for workouts. Application with best fitness features & usability experience makes its way to top. Anything within the user comfort zone is a must HIT. Here are some top apps in play/app store simple to use and easily catch user attention

1. App with User Interest:

People concerned about their eating habits are now taking healthy diet according to the daily updated schedule on Foodcuate.

2. A/B testing of App:

If you wanted to try running but never known where to start, Couch to 5K should be the next app you download.

When couch to 5k released for IOS/Android platforms, it was just a step counter app but after time to time they enhance its features according to the user’s interest and needs. They get reviews and suggestions from users and developed more features like:

1. Running plans for Beginners, intermediate and perfects.
2. Publish Books and add as a feature in app to boost your running stamina.
3. Most important they added feature to connect other wearable device with the app.
4. Added feature in which you can convert Languages other than English.

It all about user facilities and they are doing it. User traffic is increasing day by day because of its cool features.

3. User Engagement with Easy & Time Effective Workouts:

Fitnet is the workout app for people who can’t carve out time to go to the gym. The app features an abundance of five and seven minute targeted workouts training, so you don’t have to sacrifice time with your friends and family to achieve your fitness goals.
An app really does enhance the traditional personal trainer/gym experience but for the fitness trainers and Gym owner, it is not easy to handle application from the backend.
Not to Worry! You can always learn and get techy, it is not an impossible task but it definitely requires time and energy to master in the basic. No matter what your reason is for wanting to become technical, a self-assessment is always a good way to start.

One of our non-technical clients who is also a Fitness Expert faced a usability problem handling his Ecommerce website. He faced difficulty understanding the famous Woo Commerce Plugin we use for the ecommerce site. He was confused on how to handle his website:

1. Add, Edit, and delete products
2. Upload or drag & drop the images of products
3. Relate the Up-sells and cross sells products

After these requests we provided him a SIMPLE USER GUIDE to manage his business website.
Many new fitness business owners see website and mobile apps development (programming) as a threat to their bricks and mortar gyms. According to Google trends, the searches for both ‘gym membership’ and ‘fitness app’ have increased tremendously in last five years.

Using a content management system (CMS) to power your site could be one of the best investments you make in your business.

Let me tell you why….
Investing in your website helps in filling the gap between your potential customers and you. Also, you need to make sure they love it but this doesn’t mean you should have deep website development knowledge. A CMS is about power of simplicity, every business owner should use it so they still have time to concentrate on highlighting other factors of business and improving it. The most interesting thing in October (CMS) is its usability key benefits to run your business website.

1. It’s easy for the non-technical mind.
2. Design changes are simple
3. It improves site maintenance.
4. It helps you manage content.

Everything is in your control!
What else a non-techy desire?

Our Web Application Development Company has worked on various frameworks but our Full stack web developers always like to use Laravel for the web development projects so they keep them updated with all the new technologies that optimize the development cycle.

The concept of a Content Management System is definitely not new in the market but Content Management System for Laravel proved to be very helpful in this competitive techy world. Laravel CMS has made development easier for its followers.

It’s like technology is improving the productivity of the developers by bringing useful frameworks, CMS and tools in the market. The top 5 CMS available in the market are

1. Word Press
2. October CMS
3. Drupal
4. Joomla
5. Magento

A new open source CMS for Laravel framework has made its striking appearance in Oct 2016 and caught all the attention of technology lovers. October CMS is a Laravel PHP based CMS that covers some amazing features that made it a very solid offering.

Let’s me share some thoughts on this new October CMS that makes you believe it as a strong CMS competitor for the development of your NEXT website.

1. Static File System

Your page will not take centuries to load now. WOW!

October CMS creates a lighter load on database and is extremely efficient on page load times. Cache is hardly needed in fact.

Although certain plugins such as our Pro-Blog or Pro-Events do have dynamic database driven content, October CMS in general is entirely file based. Isn’t it interesting?

2. Elegantly Designed UI

The backend UI of October CMS is so easy to use and graceful to work on. I would rather say It is an absolute JOY!

Moving around from pages to partials, partials to content and adding plugin components all feels very natural. In fact, you could theoretically avoid your IDE all together considering October’s ultra clean markup editor.

3. Sleek & Simple Functionality

Just like any CMS, October can certainly be made as complex in functionality as you. Plenty of power can be explored and extended from October’s Laravel PHP foundation to makes the work flow simple for the web development.

Adding components, partials, and content all have a very similar twig syntax that can be added, moved & reordered as easy as copy or paste.

Not familiar with twig?
Don’t panic. It’s syntax is very simple i.e. {% component ‘blogPost’ %} will render any component to view like it is the part of the page. In short it is easy to use.

4. Construct Plugin & Themes

October CMS also has this powerful feature of constructing plugins and themes. These plugins can be extended easily. You can build new feature without installing or uninstalling the fluff. It’s just as simple as adding some files and the Object Relational Mapper takes care of the rest!
While working on our SaaS based Event Planner System, we found October’s API to be extremely well documented & when combined with Laravel’s, makes the functionality document easier to study for the developer.

5. Support Every Logic

Although October CMS is an Open Source BUT it is not just about listening to feedbacks and implementing new features. When it sticks to developer’s logics wonders can happen. Impressive!!!

October CMS carries almost every line of code and its documentation. It is prevalent in the October Marketplace where every single plugin and theme is personally reviewed and accepted or rejected based on quality and efficiency.

Let’s Wrap Up

These are just a few reasons to love October CMS, take a good read at October CMS Website. Without a doubt in mind my core Laravel websites development team will do justice with October CMS and is super excited to see this CMS grow in our web development firm.
