App Development

Overview.

A clean, fast way to read the latest UK business stories, wherever you are.

Business Pressed is our UK business news site, sharing stories about companies, charities and communities, alongside thought leadership from business owners. We designed and built the Business Pressed app to bring those stories to people’s phones, with a feed that is quick to scan and articles that are easy to read and share.

Built for Phones: Quick to load, comfortable to read and easy to use with one thumb.
Live Story Feed: New stories appear in the app as soon as they are published on businesspressed.com.
Categories: Readers can jump straight to business, charity, community and general news.
Ideas: A dedicated home for thought leadership, explainers and perspectives.
Easy Sharing: Every story can be shared with friends, colleagues or social media in a single tap.

The Challenge.

Making Business News Easy to Read on the Move.

Most people catch up on the news on their phones, in spare minutes between meetings or on the commute. Business Pressed needed an app that felt as polished as the big news brands, kept itself up to date without extra work for the team and made every story easy to find and share.

Speed: Stories had to load quickly, even on a patchy signal.
Always Up to Date: New stories needed to appear automatically, with no double publishing.
Easy to Find: Readers needed simple ways to browse by topic and search for stories.
Made to Share: Good stories travel, so sharing had to take a single tap.

The Results.

A Polished News App That Keeps Itself Fresh.

The Business Pressed app gives readers a clean, calm way to keep up with UK business news. A bold red and cream design matches the Business Pressed brand, with strong headlines, clear categories and a bottom bar that keeps Home, Ideas and Search one tap away. New stories flow in from the website automatically, so the app stays fresh without any extra work.
