Hawk Ridge Consulting provides iPhone app services to companies that want to extend their brand to the growing iPhone and iPod touch markets, but don’t want to invest in becoming iPhone experts themselves. Small to medium-size companies in particular often find it impractical to devote full-time resources to mobile development.

“FanGraphs.com has a popular website with a ton of great content that is ideal for the mobile market,” says Hawk Ridge Consulting CEO, Julie McCool. “By partnering with Hawk Ridge Consulting, they get a quality iPhone app to market quickly and cost-effectively. We know how to make the most of the iPhone’s unique features and how to shepherd apps from concept to launch in the App Store.”

“We knew we wanted to make the popular FanGraphs.com baseball stats available on the iPhone, but it was too time-consuming to develop iPhone expertise in-house. By partnering with Hawk Ridge Consulting we gained invaluable product and iPhone experience and built a great app for baseball fans,” says FanGraphs.com founder David Appelman. “Hawk Ridge Consulting put together an expert team and led every phase of the iPhone app creation process including product planning, design, development, and testing.”

Previously, Hawk Ridge Consulting released the SnowGlobe Maker Winter Edition and SnowGlobe Maker Beach Edition apps, both available on the iTunes App Store for $.99 each. Inspired by Ms. McCool’s time as an executive at AOL where she saw how people love to mix and match art to express their personality and passions, SnowGlobe Maker brings creativity, expression and family interaction together on the iPhone.

Hawk Ridge Consulting will be introducing additional custom apps, as well as updates to the SnowGlobe Maker app series, later this year.
