About Wapple

Company History

Wapple founders had been developing mobile internet sites since 2002, successfully delivering mobile content over the Mobile Internet, before incorporating the Company in 2004.

Following requests from clients, other content owners and brands wishing to use the Wapple platform for themselves over the last three years, Wapple has evolved into a ground-breaking technology provider. It is committed to world class customer service and pushing the technical envelope to unrivalled heights.

Wapple has developed two technologies that when combined, provide a revolutionary solution to both businesses and individuals who desire to get on to the Mobile Internet.

The first is Wapple Canvas™. This is a web-based mobile internet site builder developed to make the job of creating sites an easy yet affordable one. Its user interface is simple and easy to understand and employs some very clever elements. Wapple Canvas™ allows the operator to be extremely creative regarding the design and layout of their sites without having any programming knowledge.

The second is Wapple's Device Profiler. A highly intelligent profiling system for repurposing sites to accommodate each and every mobile device and browser.
