Ionic Mobile App Development

Ionic is an open-source framework for building high-quality, cross-platform mobile applications using a single codebase. It empowers web developers to leverage their existing skills in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript—along with popular frameworks like Angular, React, or Vue—to create apps that run natively on iOS, Android, and the web. By using a bridge like Capacitor or Cordova, Ionic applications can access native device features such as the camera, GPS, and push notifications, offering a powerful and efficient alternative to writing separate applications for each platform.
