Median's story is your story
Our Story
The beginnings of Median
They noticed that, while there were a growing number of platforms available for creating websites, there wasn't a singular, simple solution available to develop native apps that display web-based content.
Then, as now, native mobile apps provide a far elevated user experience, and their presence in the Apple App Store and Google Play Store builds credibility and adds convenience for users.
Leading the way with web + native mobile apps
Rapidly adopted in our early days by web developers and agencies, we are now trusted by a large global customer base of Fortune 500 companies, fast-growing startups, and every business in between.
Continuing the journey
That's why we're constantly enhancing our platform, adding native plugins, and expanding our service offerings. And it's why we've grown our talented team of sales, CX, developers, and technical specialists.
We're collectively excited to continue shaping the future of mobile app development and helping our customers succeed. Thanks for being part of the journey!
