The Mobile Web is Everywhere
More people every day are using their iPhones, BlackBerries, smartphones, and cell phones to find companies, research products, and contact businesses. According to a 2009 comScore study, the mobile user base is over one third of desktop web users. Mobilizing your web site can:
Attract new clients
Extend your existing services and information to new markets
Connect with existing customers
Assist your staff while out in the field
Boost your sales if you rely on regional, local, or foot traffic
If you don't have a mobile presence you risk losing ground to your competition, failing to connect with users, and missing out on opportunities to extend and strengthen your services. We can help.
What is a mobile website design?
It is a website designed for mobile devices like smart phones and cell phones.
Most cell phones don't process flash or java script and take lot of time to download large images.
A traditional or 'desktop' website (ones that are viewed on desktop and laptop computers) uses one type of design language while mobile phones use a modified version of that design language.
Obviously, cell phones screens are very small.
While most smart phones like the iPhone and Blackberry can view content from desktop websites, it is extremely small and difficult to navigate.
Cell phones don't have a mouse so moving around the screen and navigating from pages to page is some what limited.
Mobile websites are designed with different standards than desktop website so that the customer has a fast an simple experience in finding the information that they need.
Mobile websites are designed with smaller and fewer images and cleaner formatting. They use simple links and have a 'home' link on each page so that users don't find them selves in a dead end. The content is very condensed
Mobile websites can send sms text messages to clients that have signed up for that service.
Mobile websites can allow your customers to call your phone number right from your site.
Mobile websites have the '.mobi' extent ion or are a sub domain of the main website (http://m.yourcompany.com).
Desktop websites can install a script that detects when a mobile user is trying to access the website and then redirect it to the mobile website. They can also put a link on their main website that redirects to the mobile website, however the link must be at the top so that the visitor will see it right away.
