Mobile phones are EVERYWHERE, what about mobile websites?
All websites created by our team are responsive. Responsive design is a design approach aimed at crafting sites to provide an optimal viewing experience across a wide range of devices.
Why?
There are almost 6 billion mobile subscribers – that’s 87% of the global population!1
And these cell phones are being used for way more than talking.
Mobile search alone has grown 400% in the past year. Those numbers are only increasing with 85% of mobile devices to be web-enabled by 2014.2
But what makes customers searching from a phone different than people searching from their computer?
- They have local intent! – 95% of US Smartphone users are local information seekers.
- They take action! – 87% took some sort of action after looking up local content.
- They visit in person! – 59% visited a local store after searching it on the mobile web.
- They spend money! – 44% made a purchase online or at a store after mobile search.
- They want mobile optimized sites! – Sites should be fast and simple to navigate. Unfortunately 79% of large online advertisers fail to have a mobile optimized site.
So if the big online advertisers are not getting mobile marketing right, what can a local small business owner do?
Get ahead of the curve… Build a Mobile Site!
Now is the time to take action and build a true mobile site designed specifically for mobile search!
If you already have a website you might be wondering,
“Why do I need a responsive website for smart phones and mobile devices?”
Mobile users want and need different things…
- Their screen is much smaller so they need less text and more easy to see icons.
- They have specific wants so make it easy for them to quickly take action
- They have slower page load times and don’t want to pay more for extra usage from heavy graphics.
- Finally, mobile devices show information differently. For example, a fancy Flash file that looks good on a computer won’t even show on the millions of iPhone, iPad, and iTouch products. Do you want all these users to see nothing but a white screen?
But isn’t building a mobile site expensive?
