Mobile Website

Online access is no longer restricted to home or office computers. As more people access the internet through PDAs and phones, they are demanding better mobile website services. Fully mobile websites allow users to view and interact with their favorite sites, in much the same way they would on a desktop. Communication and information are available any time from anywhere.

The future of the internet is in mobile devices, such as cell and smart phones, PDAs, and more. Since the inception of mobile browsers more than a decade ago, hundreds of millions of people have used these alternative methods to gain access to the internet.

What are the benefits? For users, they are enormous. They can personalize their internet experience, gaining access to news, weather, sports, stock quotes, email, and anything else they could access with a computer. Gone are the colorless, drab mobile sites of only a few years ago. The interface is simplified to allow the sites to perform optimally and the pages are streamlined, but those are the only differences users should notice in quality.

What are the benefits for businesses or those with websites? Not optimizing your website for mobile access is ignoring a huge potential customer base. For many businesses - and not just internet-driven ones - it is becoming increasingly necessary to have a mobile-friendly website. There are 3 billion mobile phones or devices in use worldwide; over one-third of those are used to access the internet. Not only that, but having mobile access increases your overall audience by thirteen percent over home- and office-based computers alone.

According to Microsoft experts, within the next few years, most people’s first experience with computing or the internet will be done through a wireless, mobile device. There are three times as many mobile devices as personal computers in use.

Your business or website cannot afford to ignore the changing technology. Having an inferior mobile face can damage a business and cause potential customers to move on to a more accessible site. On the other hand, business and sites with interactive mobile websites can specifically market to mobile users, optimize their content, and maintain and build their brand.

In 2007, there were about 25,000 mobile websites. That number shot up to over 150,000 in less than one year, and it is growing. While many traditional websites can be read by mobile browsers, often the quality and the speed are substandard. Instead, many business and site owners are opting for smaller, sleeker, more useful pages designed specifically for mobile devices. With the increase in mobile website access, there is nothing to lose and everything to gain by making your website mobile friendly. Let us help. Take a moment to contact us today.
