There are plenty of companies out there that specialize in bringing websites to mobile devices by creating optimized sites, such as MoFuse, Jagag, ByteMobile, and many more. But with the fast growth of web use and apps in the mobile space, there’s definitely room for more startups. Moovweb is entering this space with its offering, which helps brands create customized mobile sites for smartphones as well as develop mobile apps.
Moovweb launched earlier this year with a $700,000 investment led by Sun Microsystems co-founder Andy Bechtolsheim, with other angel investors participating. The startup focuses on helping brands and companies determine whether to create a mobile site or an app or both. Moovweb’s technology promises to create highly optimized sites and retain as much functionality of a brand’s site as possible. And where browsers are more limited, Moovweb will downgrade the experience.
In terms of the startup’s app development capabilities, Moovweb can develop native smartphone apps for the iPhone, Android, Palm and BlackBerry, that offer location functionality, contact integration, smart autocomplete widgets, local storage, background processing, camera integration, photo upload, accelerometer, compass, native maps, notifications, in-app payments, and more. And Moovweb also includes an analytics feature for clients, MoovAnalytics, that offer mobile analytics and data.
Moovweb has already signed on a number of clients, including SpeedDate.com. And they created a mobile-optimized site for TechCrunch, using Moovweb’s technology, here.

why not just see the actual site with dynamic servers like skyfire?
Skyfire is a browser that does a lot of dynamic optimization. Companies want their site to work on all browsers, including Skyfire’s. Moovweb sites work great on Skyfire.
But now that mobile is a real medium, companies want to give their customers the best experience while mobile. We’ve seen that most users strongly prefer a true mobile site created from the ground up for a given device/browser to the pinching and zooming on Skyfire & iPhone Safari. Additionally, almost all customers want to add mobile-specific features not found on their current websites. Last, companies often want apps.
You should remember that in a world there are much more mobile devices which is not iPhone or Android
