Mobile Websites are an important part of your business’ marketing in 2011.
You’d have to live under a rock not to notice that our society is infatuated with our cell phones. Look at people walking down the street, sitting in cafes or waiting at the bus stop. We have our phones on us at all times.
And your website…well, we hate to break it to you, but your current website doesn’t cut it, no matter how pretty it is. Don’t feel bad.Most websites don’t either. You see, 99% of websites aren’t properly optimized for mobile browsers. They are clunky, slow to load, awkward, have too much info, hard to navigate..shall we go on?
Mobile websites are a stripped own version of your desktop version.They require no side scrolling, have only the necessary info for people who are on the go and have user friendly features like tap to call and maps / directions to your location.
Think about what you would be looking for in a hurry and on the go. Your customers want the same things. So give it to them.
Don’t know how to give it to them? Don’t worry, we do.
