Mobile Websites
The Trend Is Toward More Usage of Mobile Devices To Access The Internet
Mobile searches have grown 500% in the past two years. As of mid 2011 people were spending more time on their mobile devices than on their PC’s.
Simple mobile sites can be quick and inexpensive to build. The most effective mobile websites look good on any size screen on any mobile device, appear quickly, and have just the information users are looking for.
Why You Need A Mobile Website
- Regular websites can be viewed on mobile devices but the type is very small, it takes too long to appear, and it requires a great deal of zooming and scrolling around to find and read what you want.
- People accessing the internet with a mobile device are using it in different ways than those accessing it on a desktop or laptop computer. They’re in more of a hurry, and are often looking for location information first.
- If you have Flash animation on your website it won’t be visible on iPhones.
Characteristics Of A Good Mobile Website:
- Your mobile website should have large buttons to allow for people to navigate with their fingers.
- The text on your mobile website should be larger than on your regular website.
- Your pages should be very short on text. Go directly to the punch line without a lot of build up. Ask yourself what information are mobile users going to want from our website?
- Mobile websites should load fast, that is, appear quickly. That means you shouldn’t use a lot of photos. But of course you need some photos to make it attractive.
- Your mobile website should be built so it’s viewable on any mobile device, not just an iPhone or Android.

Some types of Mobile Websites are quick and easy to build, requiring just take a little bit of high level technology, but they have limitations. Others are built with what is called "Responsive Design" where your regular website detects the screen size of the viewing device and scales or chooses ingredients that will look good for that device. This can be a time consuming process requiring great expertise. Please contact us to discuss all of your options for a mobile website and the different costs for each.
