Rakesh Menon's Background
Rakesh Menon's Experience
Development Guru at Langoor
April 2012 - October 2012
Currently working on langoor.mobi.
langoor.mobi is targeted towards making websites for mobile interfaces. All you need is an existing website and we will transform it ready for the mobile interface. Usually the conversion is about 70% accurate, and then the control is transferred to the user for further optimization, which can be done using our WYSIWYG editor or HTML/CSS coding. The user can edit navigation and content on the converted mobile website before publishing it. Of course, there are options available for non-developers where we do it for you for a small fee! :)
